[SOLVED] Moving the wua and store folders to the server

[olm]

WAPT Enterprise version installed: 1.8.2.7334 on a Debian Buster server.

Hello,

We are encountering a small problem moving the wapt_wua and wapt_folder folders to another partition.

Here is what we have done:

1) Moved the /var/www/wapt and /var/www/waptwua folders into the /wapt folder, resulting in the following directory structure:
for wua: /wapt/waptwua
for the main wapt repository: /wapt/wapt.
We have correctly maintained the same access rights.

2) Changed the wapt server configuration file by adding/modifying the following two lines:
wapt_folder = /wapt/wapt
waptwua_folder = /wapt/waptwua.

After restarting the service, when we relaunch the console, the URL of the main repository displays a 502 Bad Gateway error

. After some investigation, we were able to find the problem; we also needed to modify the nginx configuration file.

After another restart, the 502 Bad Gateway error has changed to a different line in the WAPT server URL.

I think we're getting close, but we're still stuck. Do you have any idea what to do next?

Thanks in advance,
Olivier Marcoux

If you just need to create another mount point, you can try using `mount --bind` rather than changing all the parameters

mount --bind /wapt/wapt/ /var/www/wapt/
