moving apache, php and mysql and webmin

abc27 · 05-04-2008, 11:42 AM

Ok so i have my entire webserver setup i.e. apache, mysql, proftpd, webmin, php5 (Basically i have XAMPP installed) in my root folder under /opt but now i have realised my root folder is full since its only partitioned to 2gb.

How would i move all of this from /opt to /home/abc without disrupting anything?

The site is not live yet so downtime isnt too much an issue.

somehting like this...

edit: MAKE a BACKUP first

stop the services, and move all files to the new location (as root)

Code:

stop xxamp
mkdir /home/abc/opt
mv /opt/* /home/abc/opt

try to find references to 'opt' in your web-root...

Code:

# find any references to /opt (change files that have references!)
cd /home/abc/opt
grep -lir '/opt/' *

try to find references to 'opt' in your config-files...

Code:

# find any config files with references to /opt (change files that have references!)
cd /etc/apache2
grep -lir '/opt/' *
