Hi Enis,

 

No I didn’t restart Galaxy after the changes were saved. Is that the process explained in the README.txt (setup.sh & run.sh)? That process was for the first time, so I didn’t repeat it after saving the changes.

Hi Ravi,

Just a quick check - did you restart Galaxy after saving the changes? What you did should direct any new files to the specified location.

Greetings,

 

My name is Ravi Sanka. I have a question regarding Galaxy.

 

Recently, I had a local installation set up and am now trying to change the location where the install stores imported and created files.

 

I opened the config file universe_wsgi.ini and did the following:

 

-          Removed the ‘#’ mark from ‘#file_path = database/files’

-          Changed value of file_path to the absolute path of an accessible, readable/writable location

-          Saved changes

 

Despite this, the install still stores files in database/files. Is there a step I’m missing? Does the setup procedure (setup.sh & run.sh) need to be run again?

 

I also intend to change the database from the SQLite default to an existing database, so I assume the steps to change the file_path also apply to database_connection.

 

Thank you for your time.
