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?
I'm not a Debian expert, so please somebody correct if I am wrong...
Anyway, I would recommend that you keep FLE directory inside
/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products because it takes only constant
amount of disk space (a couple of megabytes). All data that you
create while using FLE is stored in Zope's object database
/var/lib/zope/var/Data.fs (where you need to have several hundereds
of megabytes of free space).
If you are really running out of space in /usr partition you can
always create a symbolic link /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/FLE
pointing to actual FLE directory on some other partition.
