The directories that I am going to move are: ..\webapps\dspace ..\dspace-1.4.1 ..\dspace-1.4.1-source in the webapps\dspace directory there is a file WEB-INF\web.xml I am going to modify that file with path to the new location of the dspace-1.4.1\config\dspace.cfg As far as the database it is running on a different host on the same vlan so I don't think anything should change there. Thanks for the help, if I have missed anything let me know. --Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
