How to change location of liferay directory for file storage

[Isabel M, geändert vor 15 Jahren.]

I need to change the location of liferay folder or directory that contains subfolders (deploy, ehcache, jackrabbit, lucene). The folder by default "resides in home directory of the user ID under which Liferay is running" (Liferay admin Guide). I need to move it to another drive like E:\ in Windows. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,
Isabel

portal-ext.properties

[b]resource.repositories.root=other_folder/liferay[/b]
auto.deploy.deploy.dir=${resource.repositories.root}/deploy
lucene.dir=${resource.repositories.root}/lucene/
jcr.jackrabbit.repository.root=${resource.repositories.root}/jackrabbit
dl.hook.file.system.root.dir=${resource.repositories.root}/document_library

portal-ext.properties

[b]resource.repositories.root=other_folder/liferay[/b]
auto.deploy.deploy.dir=${resource.repositories.root}/deploy
lucene.dir=${resource.repositories.root}/lucene/
jcr.jackrabbit.repository.root=${resource.repositories.root}/jackrabbit
dl.hook.file.system.root.dir=${resource.repositories.root}/document_library

Hi Oyola ,

Right now , I am also facing a bit of challenge with hot deployment process , I changed

auto.deploy.dir=${user.home}/Desktop/liferay/deploy

In my build.${user.home}.properties file and one more change just like as you said in portal-ext.properties file .

when I deploy themes /portlets / layouts from plugins , those are shifting into ${user.home}/Desktop/liferay/deploy as a jar's but from the ${user.home}/Desktop/liferay/deploy , The hot deployer is not deploying into tomcat , so can you explain more about this process of deploying once again .

Thanks & Regards...

It did not work for me, unable to show the old documents,i.e, pdf/doc files. Please suggest

Open/Create [tt]<portal>/WEB-INF/classes/portal-ext.properties[/tt]

and add/modify the value of:

[tt]resource.repositories.root=${user.home}/liferay[/tt]

HTH!
