Hi,
I am trying to get to grips with xWiki. I have installed the windows version
and would like to change the directory location of the database & support
files.
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Configuration - this
page tells me that I can change the location used in
environment.permanentDirectory.
I have tried changing this to
environment.permanentDirectory=C:/xwikiFiles/
and also
environment.permanentDirectory=C:\xwikiFiles\
Neither have any affect; the %APPDATA% folder keeps getting used.
I see in the properties file that "Note if the system property
xwiki.data.dir is set then this property is not used.”
Yes that’s the important point in your case :)
How can i check if xwiki.data.dir is set? or what do i
change so i can
change the data location of an install?
It seems you’ve installed the jetty/hsqldb distribution (either as a zip or using the
windows EXE installer).
In this distribution XWiki is started using start_xwiki.bat. If you edit this file you’ll
see that it sets the data dir as a system property.
You could for example comment that line so that the value you define in xwiki.properties
takes effect.
Hope it helps,
Thanks

PS: If this is for production I recommend using the WAR distribution and setting up your
own DB.

Thanks in advance
