how to change path directory for \redmine\files

Hi,

Is there any ways for us to change directory \redmine\files to (for example to other partition?)

this is because there is a file size constraint. any such settings to change?

pls help..thank you..

Hi,

If you are under Linux or OS X you may move the directory to another location and create a symbolic link:

mv ${installdir}/apps/redmine/files /other/path/files

ln -s /other/path/files ${installdir}/apps/redmine/files

In Windows you may try to do something similar with “mklink” instead of ln:

mklink /d ${installdir}\apps\redmine\files c:\other\path\files

I hope it helps

thx carlos,

i’m using windows, all i need is just enter the command line that u provide? and only change the path?

as my redmine is on live production and currently been used actively i would like to verify AFTER i change the path will all my uploaded files in documents section will fetch all files from the new path files?

pls help to advice..

thank you

Hi,

You may try to do it first on a clean installation in a machine with a similar environment. You should first move the folder to the new location and then use mklink to generate the symbolic link.

Depending on your Windows version this command may not work at all, you can find more info here
