Environment
- Cb Response Server: All Versions
Question
Can you relocate the directories for the CB Response installation from their default location?
Answer
No, you cannot move all of the directories to different locations from their defaults, because services will fail to start.
Additional Notes
- You can successfully relocate the /var/cb/data directory, because it contains event data, and not the criitcal files used for starting services.
- The data directory location can be changed in the /etc/cb/cb.conf file.
- Here is an example of the error message you would get starting the Cb Response cluster if the default paths are not used for the services
