Changing the communication directory path

If the existing network drive on which the communication directory is located is getting full, you can change
its location by using these instructions.
To change the communication directory path:
1. Choose a new network path on a drive with more space.
2. Create the path and ensure that the Local Service user has full control access rights to all the directories
on the path.
3. Stop the Policy Manager Server service.
4. Copy the whole directory structure from the old commdir path to the new path.
5. Change the value for the CommDir and CommDir2 directives in httpd.conf (in the <Policy Manager
Server installation directory>\conf\ directory).
The default configuration contains the following configuration:
CommDir "C:\Program Files\F-Secure\Management Server 5\CommDir"
CommDir2 "C:\Program Files\F-Secure\Management Server 5\CommDir"
If you want to change the communication directory location to E:\CommDir, change the directives to
reflect that configuration. For example:
CommDir "E:\CommDir"
CommDir2 "E:\CommDir"
6. Start the Policy Manager Server service.
7. Check that everything still works.
8. Delete the old commdir files.
