Moving /var/www/

2-tone-joe · 12-01-2007, 01:17 PM

I am storing an ever increasing amount of image files in my web directory structure. I need to move the server and somehow place the /var/www/ onto a SAN. What is the best way for me to do this? Is there an option in httpd.conf or do I symlink it somehow? I have many scripts that I don't want to rewrite in order to make this move. . .

I am running CentOS 5.

Cheers All!

Should be a piece of cake. You can just move the contents of your /var/www out and mount your SAN onto /var/www, or you can edit edit the httpd.conf and change the root directory. Since your scripts, I assume, are all pointing to /var/wwww, I would just mount the SAN onto /var/www and copy the contents back. YOu should not noticing anything different other than more disk space with your new SAN. If you're using SELinux, make sure the directory and files are on the correct context settings.

so mount the san using nfs and move /var/www/ to the san. . . . can I somehow remove my old /var/www/ and replace it with the one mounted on the san?
