Changing folder location. How?

mrlawrencelam 5 years ago • updated by Vlad R 4 years ago • 7

By default, the superuser's home folder is located inside system/data/ folder. It is important that you change the user's settings (from the FileRun control panel) and set the home folder path pointing to a folder which is located outside the public area of your web server (ie. outside www).


I searched for an hour but could not find any instruction to do this. I also could not find this feature under Superuser's control panel.

I did this and after that I could not upload any files anymore. The error ist:

"File copy failed: CopyFile error: /var/www/temp/phpl0VvYJ could not be copied to /var/filedir/myfile.txt"

how to fix this?

Sounds like the permissions of the folder "/var/filedir/" do not allow PHP to make changes. The recommended action would be to check the folder's permissions and change accordingly.

Many of the control panel fields have a question mark button (?) on the right side. Use it for getting more information. For example, on this particular field you will notice it says "absolute path". Do not use "/../" paths with FileRun, it will only cause you problems.

If you do not know the absolute path of a folder on your server, the best people to ask for help is your hosting service tech support.
