Move Domino Directory

OK, this should be fairly simple for those more experienced in Domino (unlike me)…

All I’m trying to do is move my Domino directory (C:\Lotus\Domino\Data) to a different drive on my server (E:\Lotus\Domino\Data)…how do I do this?

My C: drive doesn’t have enough room on it and I didn’t mean for it to be on that drive in the first place…I installed Domino on C: but would like the data directory to be on E: I could probably just cut and paste the directory to the new drive, but I’m guessing that would mess things up and that this has to be done in the Domino Administrator somehow.

As you can probably tell from the question, I’m very new to Domino so your help is much appreciated, thanks!

It’s actually really simple.

Shut down the Domino server first!

Cut and Past the c:\lotus\domino\data structure elsewhere (say e:\lotus\domino data)

modify NOTES.INI in c:\lotus\domino

change the line starting “directory=” to…

Directory=e:\lotus\domino\data

Quickly check the notes.ini file for any other references to the c:\lotus\domino\data and change to e: (there may be none)

Save the file

Restart the server

all done!

You should also check your Windows Registry, under HKLM - Software - Lotus - Domino for the data path key. Check any keys under Domino as well (eg. Lotus - Domino - 1 )
