I'm pretty sure this will work, though installing an update later may
require you to remove the symlink & re-create it again.
I know you can specify an alternate settings directory for
intermapperd in the launchd .plist file (the man page has more details
on that) - don't know if that affects IMDC as well or if it would live
through upgrades though.
(Incidentally the same .plist is the one to edit to make intermapperd
start up as someone other than the user who installed it :)
The IMDC database is in postgres if I remember correctly, so you can
move that with tablespaces (or make sure to initdb your postgres
cluster on the volume you want to use - probably the better choice if
your system volume is a SSD)

Chris,
Just out of curiosity did you try creating the Symlink afterwards?
Maybe the application doesn't really care but the installer does.
Just a thought.

Hi All,
Installing Intermapper on a nice shiny new Snow Leopard 10.6 Xserve
2009 Server with an SSD drive and a nice 1TB RAID of Hard disk.
Naturally, I'd like Intermapper's heavily-changing Data/Logs/
Intermapper DataCentre IMDC stuff to reside on my /Volumes/RAID
Partition; instead of the "boot" drive
( i.e. IM is normally installed in /usr/local/....im-stuff-goes-
here...)
So, Being someone unix clueful, I created a Symlink for /usr/local/
to point instead to /Volumes/RAID/IntermapperStuff/
However, the Installer now kacks on this ("Hey Operator - It
appears that /usr/ or /usr/local is a symlink - no dice on install
- contact support").
So, I am following the Dialog's advice and contacting support - and
I think my question here might be somewhat obvious.

How do I get Intermapper and/or Intermapper IMDC to nicely "live"
on another drive in my system?

(Note: the internal 128Gb SSD Drive I want to leave completely for
the OS stuff - and any logs/mail/IMdatabase/things-that-change-alot
I wish to keep on the RAID - as it's easier to rebuild a RAID if it
fails instead of popping off the li of the Xserve to replace the
SSD drive).
Suggestions/Comments/Key lime pies w/whipped topping welcome.
