Hi all,

I guess there is some trick that I'm not aware of...

I have switched to file databases (but cannot copy the existing ones to the filesystem yet, due to problems discussed in another email).

When I upload a file, it is created on the filesystem here:

/var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments/myrightstoadmin.png /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments/myrightstoadmin.png/~METADATA.xml /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments/myrightstoadmin.png/myrightstoadmin~v1.1.png /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments/myrightstoadmin.png/myrightstoadmin.png

but, when i do /etc/init.d/jetty stop

it deletes that entire /var/cache/jetty/tmp folder ! Seems obvious to me that since its called /tmp, it means its for temporary storage.

So when I start jetty up again, the file attachments cannot be found.

Design flaw?  Where do I configure the location of the file attachments? Theres nothing in the documentation.

cheers Paul

This is still a killer problem for me. Does anyone use xwiki with jetty ?
