Question:

How can I move the FileStore to a non-default location?

Answer:

To change the location of activEcho’s FileStore, follow the steps below:

1. Stop the “activEcho Repository” service.
2. Stop the “Apache Tomcat” service.
3. You will find the current FileStore here:
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Group Logic\activEcho Server\FileStore”
4. You can copy or move the entire FileStore folder with all its contents to the target point, like:
   E:\MyCustom Folder\FileStore
5. Open a Command Prompt window.
6. Change Directory to the activEcho Server directory, like:
   cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Group Logic\activEcho Server”
7. At the Command Prompt, run the following command:
8. aE_Config.bat "D:\MyCustom Folder\FileStore" 5787
   

   Note: There is a SPACE between the closing double quote and 5787 Note: You can check which port is the FileStore currently using. Open the webUI, go the Settings tab and find the FileStore repository service setting (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:5787) from which you can verify the current port number (e.g. 5787).

9. Wait for the command to complete. It takes 2 or 3 seconds.
10. Start “activEcho Repository” service.
11. Start “Apache Tomcat” service.
12. Done.
