Betreff: Re: [Refdb-users] refdb-0.9.6 and sqlite3 default database directory ?

Hi,
Sven Crouse <svenc@xxxxxxxx> was heard to say:

In this case the documentation is incorrect. The default database directory used
to be where the docs think it is, but this was changed while RefDB was
debianized. The current default location follows the FSH standard and puts the
database and the version file in a folder which is supposed to hold
often-changed files. There is no real difference if you use one partition and
one filesystem on your standalone box, but on a server /usr and /var may be
located on different partitions or drives and use different filesystems,
optimized for fast reading and fast writing, respectively. /usr/share and
/usr/local/share may even be mounted read-only from a remote box in weird
cases. I'll have to fix the docs at this point.

It should have an effect. However, this setting affects only the
refdbdrc.example file which does not take effect unless you rename it to
refdbdrc.

The serverip variable in refdbcrc (and refdbarc, refdbibrc) tells the client on
which box the server process refdbd runs. It must be the servername or IP
address of a computer running refdbd. The database location is managed solely
by the server process, so you'd have to fiddle with refdbdrc.
And yes, "/var/lib/refdb/db" is probably the best place for your sqlite3
database files.

Markus
