Change HAL Automount Root Directory

I was wondering if it is possible to change the root directory that HAL mounts into. I would like to change it from /media to /mnt. The reason is that on my previous server (that I didn't have HAL installed on), I kept all media files (music, videos, etc.) in the media directory, and I liked it that way.
I like the fact that HAL is dynamic, that I don't have to manually create the entries in my fstab or anything. I'm hoping that there is a solution that will do everything automagically. I did a few hours of searching last night with no luck. I was hoping somebody could throw me a lead.
Thanks!

Found this thread that might be relevant. Hope it helps.

Edit: I just thought to mention: It might be easier for you to install AutoFS or lvman or gnome-volume-manager and mess with those settings instead of messing with the HAL configuration stuff.

Problem Changing the Root Directory of the Default Virtual Host in J2EE 7.0

Hi,
I'm trying to change the root directory for the default virtual host in J2EE 7.0.
i did the following steps in visual admin: services -> HTTP Provider -> Runtime -> Virtual Hosts -> default:
Root Directory: "D:/usr/sap/<server>/<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/crm~b2b/servlet_jsp/b2b/root/b2b" (this the correct path to the application)
Start Page:"z_index.jsp"
I restarted HTTP Provider Service and the J2EE.
When I start http://<server>:<port> i get the following error:
The requested resource /z_index.jsp is not available
Details: File [z_index.jsp] not found in application root of alias [/] of J2EE application [sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples].
sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples is the initial default root directory, but i changed it to the correcht path...
Can anybody help me?

Why does time machine back up change root directory of software?

about a year ago i did a time machine back up of my old macbook pro, then when i came to use a piece of software (native instruments-traktor) it said the root directory had been changed and it couldnt find the file. i had to remove the whole program from my mac and redownload it. then since then had no problems.
now ive just purchased a new macbook today and wanted all my old files and software on it so i did a migration expert with time machine. it seems to have bought most things over.....a few files are missing from logic but again when i went open traktor, again it said root directory changed,,,im not to good with these root directorys so havent got a clue what to do so again ive had to remove the program and redownload it which is a bit of a pain.
any ideas why time machine changes it??

I'm also puzzled because it continually wants to back up some 15MB or more when I've changed nothing
Suggest that you download and install BackupLoupe to find out exactly what is being backed up on each pass.
soma-zone: BackupLoupe
If you want to change the backup frequency of Time Machine, an application like Time Machine Editor will allow you schedule backups whenever you like. But, you may not need to do this if you can figure out what might be causing the first issue.
TimeMachineEditor
If you ever decide to delete Time Machine Editor, be sure to change the backup frequency back to hourly before you delete the application.

Changing root directory of JSDK server

Hi There!
I am running my servlet using JSDK 2.1. To run my servlet, I copy my class file to
C:\jsdk2.1\examples\WEB-INF\servlets and could call my servlet using the URL
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/classname.
Now I want to create a subfolder/package(ex. mypackage) in c:\jsdk2.1\examples\WEB-INF\servlets and invoke the URL: http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/mypackage/classname
then it's not working. The error is Error 500 (wrong name). Is there a way I could make
it work or is there a way to change the root directory?
Please help....it's urgent!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

actually u should the parameter in the web.xml file, maybe like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>alias</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>mypackage.classname</servlet-class>
</servlet>
then you could call your servlet usint the url:
http://localhost:8080/exampes/servlet/alias

Changing root directory {subject and body edited by moderator}

How do I change it to a new location to support two different web sites (root directory CS6)?

I'm thinking you might mean two http addresses (www.yoursite1.com and www.yoursite2.com) while using the same local content. If that's the case, you can't upload to two locations simultaneously with DW. You would need two separate site definitions in DW to upload to two Remote Servers, but if the sites are going to be EXACT DUPLICATES of each other, both site definitions can use the same local root folder and all of the files within it.
If you're talking about two different sites going to two different servers, you would need to do as Nancy suggests and have two separate local root folders on your hard drive with their own files that you would then set two separate site definitions to go to...

Has the FTP Root Directory specification changed in CS6?

I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 and it appears that the method of specifying the root directory for the remote server has changed. For example I had a root file specification of /htdocs/milehighmgc/ that worked perfectly in CS5.5 both in the Site Manager and when I connected to the server from the Files Panel. After upgrading to CS6 it sttill would connect from the Site Manager but when I tried to connect from the Files Panel I got an error message that said "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to the host." I was able to get it to go by adding another / to the root folder definition so that it read //htdocs/milehighmgc/.
Has anyone out there seen this? Is there a proper syntax that I am not aware of after using this stuff for 3 years?

No, it hasn't changed, and I've never seen a double-slash at the beginning of the path, either. How odd.

Error when running captive runtime .exe from root directory of drive.

Platform: Windows
Specifics: Captive runtime desktop app using an ANE.
Problem: I am distributing the app on a flash drive. Ideally,the .exe will be on the root of the drive, so the user will not need to enter a subdirectory. I'm mostly concerned about users moving the software and getting frustrated by this error.
The error is "Adobe Air: The installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
Here's an example. Importantly, this error only occurs when an ANE is included. I tried a few different ANE files created by others, and simply adding them to the project produces the error. I don't even need to use the ANE anywhere in my code.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/epfj0138pfbmu49/soExample.7z
This is a simple application with a few blank buttons. Try extracting in a subdirectory somewhere, and then moving to the root of a flash drive or any other drive. However, I don't recommend running code from strangers on the top directory of your C:\ drive.
Additionally, I installed Apache Flex 4.12 but the error persists. The text simply changed to "Initial content could not be loaded for this application. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
https://www.dropbox.com/s/epfj0138pfbmu49/soExample.7z

I did some more testing. Same issue occurs if I create a captive runtime app from Flash Pro. It also happens when I use the Adobe Air installer, but install to the root directory.
Can anyone think of a workaround?

How do I get iWeb to publish just the files to my root directory

Hey all, when I publish my site to my hosting server via iWeb it's just copying the entire folder into my root directory instead of copying the files to the root directory. This is causing my site url to look like this: www.mysite.com/myfolder/ how do I get iWeb to publich the files in the "myfolder" to my server instead of the entire folder?

I needed to do this while keeping ftp publishing inside iWeb, and so I developed a sneaky solution. I just figured this out, so there may be some extra steps in here. Here goes:
Find the iWeb application on the computer you are publishing from.
Control-Click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents".
In the window that appears, open the folder "Contents".
Control-Click on the folder "Resources" and choose "Get Info".
In the window that appears, open the "Sharing and Permissions" drop-down.
Click the lock in the lower-right corner and enter your password.
Where it says "Read Only" across from "Everyone", click the arrows and choose "Read and Write".
Close the "Info" window and open the "Resources" folder.
Find the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file and change the permissions (repeat steps 4-7 but with "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" instead of the "Resources" folder).
Open the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file in TextEdit.
Find the line "<string>/Web/Sites</string>".
Change it to "<string>/Web</string>".
Save and close the text file.
Restart iWeb.
Go to your publishing settings and enter the information for your server. Point the "Directory/Path" to the folder above your server's root web folder.
Set "Site Name" to the name of your server's web folder.
Make sure that none of the files in your server's web folder have the same name as those iWeb would upload.
Select File>Publish Entire Site.
It should now publish your site to "http://www.yourdomain.org/Home.html".
Hope it works!

Changing the document root in WLS 6.0 SP1

Hello,
          I want to change the deployment folder of
          config/<domainName>/applications
          to another folder in our source tree. Is this possible? The reason we
          want to do this is because our root tree contains the java source code
          and web-related content in our configuration management system. It
          would seem very odd to map our web-related stuff to
          /WLS6.0sp1/config/<mydomain>/applications and everything else to the
          standard structure.
          In 5.1, setting the weblogic.httpd.documentRoot property does this.
          However, I understand that WLS 6.0 uses a classloader for the
          /applications directory. Can I use a system to property to notify WLS
          6.0 to look at a different directory instead?
          There seems to be error in docs related to this.
          http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60///////config_xml/properties.html
          Says DocumentRoot entry can be set in config.xml.
          But the entry is not found in DTD (config.dtd)
          http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60///////config_xml/config.html
          Thanks.
          --Bahar


Bahar,
          The docs you pointed out is absolutely right. There is no error in the
          document.
          If you want to change the document root make the following
          modifications in your config.xml as per the example here:
          <Application Deployed="true" Name="DefaultWebApp_myserver"
          Path="d:\docmain">
          <WebAppComponent Name="DefaultWebApp_myserver"
          Targets="myserver" URI="www"/>
          </Application>
          Where Your document root is : d:\docmain\www
          Make sure that you have web.xml under
          d:\docmain\www\WEB-INF
          Kumar.

ODBC for Rdb files dissolve at root directory now

Late Dec99, I noticed a change in behavior of Oracle Rdb driver installation files.
For a couple years, on a Windows 95 PC, when I run the rdbwin95.exe installation program via Start > Run > and specify the -d qualifier, the installation program would first create a Win95 folder inside the current folder location and then create additional folders inside that new folder. Now, it creates the Win95 folder at the root directory, e.g., c:\ level, instead of inside the temporary installation folder.
Likewise, when I run an older version, rdb32.exe for example, it also dissolves into multiple files, all at the root level, instead of the temporary folder where I had placed it. Rdb16.exe behaves the same way.
Processing these 2 files can get ugly because it can exceed the maximum number of objects permitted on the c: drive, making new folder creation impossible until the install files are deleted.
I wonder if there might be some incompatability between the zip program used to create the install files and my current PC software. Each of the PCs I've tried at my location behave the same way, but some PCs at other locations do not, while some do. I just haven't been able to figure out the common denominator.
The only reason I call this a problem is that I have some s/w installation instructions that walk users thru example screens and it looks like I may need to cover both possible behaviors in my examples.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Or, have any explanation for it?
Thanks

Risa no.
What i mean is this. This is a screenshot of my ftp server at my host(ipage.com).
Now this is a screenshot of my program and you can see that in my program i have only the directories hello stats test but i don't have the files in the root: htaccess.config swp txt 1.txt 2.png....all this files i don't have it on my treeView.
What i want it to be is that on my program on the treeView i will also display the files like in my ftp server.
I see in my program only the directories and the files in the directories but i don't see the files on the root directory/node.
I need it to be like in my ftp server i need to see in my program the htaccess 1.txt 2.png and so on.
So what i wrote in my main question is that in the var files i see this files of the root directory i just don't know to add and display them in my treeView(my treeView is treeViewMS1).
I know i checked in my program in the method CreateDirectoryNode i see in the first iteration of the recursive that var files contain this root files i just dont know how to add and display them in my treeView.
On the next iterations when it does the recursive it's adding the directories hello stats test and the files in this directories but i need it to first add the root files.

Failure of Root Directory to display in Library

Using Lightroom 3 - I am importing photos into folders and subfolders with titles created in the destination panel -
the titles display in the destination panel as well as in the hard drive root directory under pictures - Lightroom - my Lightroom photos - title of folder of subfolder etc. as expected.
-however-
After the photos are imported and I go back into the library to review them - clicking on Macintosh HD (I am using OS X version 10.7.3)
reveals only dates the photos were taken and no root directory folder or subfolder titles. Using catalog I can see that all of the photos have been imported into the library.
Any thoughts about what I am doing wrong or missing ?
Thanks Lightroom

Thank you both for the responses.
Hal, your suggestion did the trick.
Thank you again.

Dreamweaver CC Won't Connect to the Right Root Directory

Hi there.
I'm running DW CC on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.7.5. I made an edit to a link in a page file and put it to the remote server but the live page was still showing the old link (even after refreshing).
After troubleshooting a number of possible causes I found that the hosting provider (Hostway) apparently recently moved the site files from the original "www" root directory to a new root directory called "web". So I'm putting files to "www" which is now a dead directory.
I deleted the old server configuration (because just editing the root directory didn't change anything) in DW ftp client and created the new one with the new root "web". But when I connect to the remote server it's still showing the "www" directory and there's no way to get to "web".
I no longer have any reference to "www" in my server settings but DW still insists on going there and won't let me connect to the correct "web" directory.
I deleted my personal config file and that didn't make any difference.
I uploaded the edited file to "web" successfully with Fetch and the live page is now updated.
Any ideas? I can't seem to use DW's ftp client.
Thanks!

Sure thing.
Here's the server setup in DW:
And here's a shot of the local and remote files in the DW ftp client (note the "www" directory):
And, for comparison's sake, here's what the remote files look like in Fetch (pointing to the "web" directory:

How to set the server root directory in 10.1.3 ?

Hi all,
I've recently migrated from 1012 to 1013. Unfortunately, i'm having problems compiling the .jsp portion of my project. Every .jsp comes up with the error:
"Error: JSP Files must reside in the server root directory or a subdirectory beneath it"
Can anyone enlighten me as to where i can change this setting?
Thankyou for your time.

That link is to an older version of Jdev. There is no 'Common' section in project properties and no html input path either. There is a 'Project Content' section and within that section there is a 'Web Application' option. However i get "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" whenever i click on the 'Web Application' option. I suspect this is the area where i can configure the .jsp portion of my project. I can't get to it though due to the exception.
