[Fle3-users] Installation again

[Erich Neuwirth]

Thanks for the answer,
some questions remain.

I did a standard installation of zope on Debian.
Debian recommends that all extenstions not coming from them should be 
installed in
/var/lib, not in /usr/lib.
The Debian package from the fle3 site, however, installs in /usr/lib
and zope's INSTANCE_HOME
as a default points to /var/lib.

But my fle3 is not installed there.
When i simply stop Zope,
move
/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/FLE
to
/var/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/FLE,
and restart zope,
FLE is not shown as a zope application.

How can i put FLE out of /usr/lib so that it works?

And, (i know this is a zope question, not a fle question)

Can INSTANCE_HOME
point to more than one directory?
so that i can put different zope aplications in different places?

I just installed fle3,
and I would like to make one change in the configuration.
I want all the data for the new environment I am going to create
in another directory than the directories zope an fle3 are using,
since I have a large partition for data on my disk.
I would like the fle data not to go into my programs partition.

Is there an easy way to do this,
is is documented?


You can't just store FLE instances on another partition. I assume
you're using Zope's on database. You can specify the location for the
database (and log files) in the environment variable INSTANCE_HOME.
