Chris,

Can you explain why you would like to change the installation path ?

Cheers

Installation path

Sorry for the late answer!
I ´d like to change the installation path in order to install scalix on an enbd device.
I now solved the problem by moving all scalix directories to the enbd device, leaving symbolic links on the original places. It seems to work quite well,

You might wan to look at mount --bind, eg

Code: Select all

mount --bind <real-location> /opt/scalix

For efficiency reasons, if nothing else, it's preferred to a symbolic link. Of course, if you have a partition for the message store, you can mount that as /var/opt/scalix.

I used mount --bind at one stage to flip between different versions of the server, it worked quite well as I recall.
