WhnBackground Information: When doing a default installation the weblayout, archiver and vault are installed onto the same drive as the content server.

A possible reason for changing the location may be due to disk space limitations, other network storage preferences or when there is a requirement for clustering. The steps below indicate how to change the location for theses folders that may contain a large amount of assets.

Test this procedure in a test environment prior to implementing into production.

  1. Open <install_dir>\bin\intradoc.cfg with your default text editor.
  2. Under #Content Server Directory Variables.
    Modify or include the following.

    VaultDir=<vault_location>
    WeblayoutDir=<weblayout_location>
    CollectionLocation=<archiver_location>

    You can point these to mapped network location if required.
    Here is an example of my configuration:

    #Content Server Directory Variables
    IntradocDir=C:/stellent/idcm1/
    VaultDir=x:/stellent/vault
    WeblayoutDir=x:/stellent/weblayout
    CollectionLocation=x:/stellent/archiver

  3. Cut and paste content from the modified folders to your new locations.
  4. Restart the content server.

When the content server has been restarted, it will pull in the new configuration and will begin to use the new locations. I believe other configurations and glue files like <install_dir>\data\collections\collections.hda are automatically updated. But it is best you double check that these configurations are correct after you restart the content server.
