change the location of document storage

[sylvaindoc]

Hi there,
I'd like to change the folder where documents and attachments are stored. They are currently stored in cache/upload, but I don't have too much space available on this drive so I'd like to change the location for another drive or even better for a sharepoint website.
Has anyone allready tried it?
Thanks

There is a directive in the config.php:
'upload_dir' => 'cache/upload/',

You should be able to change that to an absolute path, and as long as the webserver can write to the directory, all should be fine. Make sure you copy everything out of <sugarroot>/cache/upload to the new directory.

Thanks for the answer sadek.
What does it look like an absoluth path?
I tried several things without any success:
- 'upload_dir' => 'D:\\SugarDocument\\',
- 'upload_dir' => 'D:/SugarDocument',
- 'upload_dir' => 'D:\SugarDocument\',
- ...

Thanks,
Sylvain

The following is the one to use:
'upload_dir' => 'D:/SugarDocument',

Thanks for your help but it doesn't work...
When using 'upload_dir' => 'D:/SugarDocuments/' in the config.php file and trying to open a document from Sugar my browser try goes to the address:
file:///D:/SugarDocuments/9fb302db-e2d2-c688-2e0f-446c5aed19c2Docuplus%2520%2526%2520Metavante%2520P ress%2520release%2520re%2520CSF%2520Support.pdf
This is the right location on the server and the document is actually stored there.

In comparaison when I'm using 'upload_dir' => 'cache/upload/', my browser opens
https://my server/sugarcrm/cache/upload/9fb302db-e2d2-c688-2e0f-446c5aed19c2Docuplus%20%26%20Metavante%20Press%20r elease%20re%20CSF%20Support.pdf.

Any idea?

The upload dir you are using has to be a subdirectory of your sugar root folder - otherwise you won't be able to access those files from your webbrowser. seting "upload_dir" to a relative path showing to a directory outside your webroot won't work either, because your webserver won't deliver files outside your webroot. That's why I recommend to stick with the "cache/upload" path.
Maybe you are interested in ZuckerDocs - it provides file attachment capabilities and makes it possible to store your documents anywhere on your filesystem.

Hello


Maybe you need to move the public folder to the D:\ directory. I mean move ../htdocs or ../http or ../public ../www to d:\web\htdocs

You can configurate this at apache of your webserver config file. For example ../bin/apache2/config.php or /etc/apache2/config/.httacces or something like this.



Thanks
