Possible location of "files" and "backup" directories

[khadem]

Hello,

I am just setting up an egw server (1.2.107 on Debian Lenny) for the first time.
Everything seems to work ok.
Only for backup reasons I would like to have the domains’ files and backup directories
in another location, ie. in /srv/egroupware//[files|backup].
But I can’t get this to work.
When pointing them for example to /tmp/egroupware/… it works.
But just by changing the tmp to srv egw refuses.
I already tried giving the srv dir the same ownerships like tmp but it didn’t help.
Seems like there is something else ???

I would be very, very glad if somebody could help me out of this!!!

Greetings from Germany and thanks for this wonderfull work, Samy.

Web server config? Is this apache? In safe_mode? Look at your apache config and see if it has a
php_admin_value open_basedir “…” which allows /tmp and document root usually. You might have
to add the directory you desire into that string.

But just by changing the tmp to srv egw refuses.

Certainly a symptom of the open_basedir issues if present.

I already tried giving the srv dir the same ownerships like tmp but it
didn’t help.

Good.

Seems like there is something else ???

Good luck.

Hello Graham,

thanks a lot for your help.
You are absolutely right.
I just had to add my dir in /etc/egroupware/apache.conf
and now everything works beautiful !!!

Thanks a lot again and greetings from Germany, Yours Samy.
