# Moving an app folder to a different storage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applications folder are (*usually*) located in `/var/www/$appname`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If an application folder is expected to get bigger because of the amount of data
|
||
|
|
it contains, it might be relevant to move it to another storage (like an
|
||
|
|
external hard drive).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here's a summary of how to do this the application wordpress. Here, is is assumed that
|
||
|
|
[you already mounted the external hard-drive](/external_storage).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 1. Move the entire wordpress folder to an external hard drive
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
mv /var/www/wordpress /media/externalharddrive/
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 2. Create a symbolic link
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So that programs looking for files in /var/www/wordpress will actually take them from the harddrive
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
ln -s /media/externalharddrive/wordpress /var/www/wordpress
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 3. Tweak permissions (maybe?)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After this, note that you may need to tweak the permissions of `/media/externalharddrive` so that `www-data` (or the user corresponding to the app) is able to read through the folder... Something like :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
chgrp www-data /media/externalharddrive
|
||
|
|
chmod g+rx /media/externalharddrive
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(but it depends on your exact setup... Please update this doc page if you figure
|
||
|
|
out what to do exactly)
