datadir is hardcoded in the 'oc_storage' table

[bartv2]

see #1520 (comment):
Testing would be easier if one could more easily make a copy of the installed environment+DB and configure a second virtual host in apache. I used to do this by copying the owncloud dir and modifying config.php to point to the copied data path. However, since owncloud 5, the paths are hardcoded in the 'oc_storage' table, which makes rolling out an acceptance environment harder. People who do, might inadvertenly modify the production files.

@icewind1991 can we do something so the datadir is not hardcoded in the oc_storage table?

I wish I can set the default data to a NAS or FireWire / External HD.

@wontolla you can set the datadir in the config file, as long as it is accessable by the system. Also look at 'external storage support' app

I’m closing this issue because it has been inactive for a few months. This probably means that the issue is not reproducible or it has been fixed in a newer version.

Please reopen if you still encounter this issue with the latest stable version (currently ownCloud 5.0.9) and then please use the issue template. You an also contribute directly by providing a patch – see the developer manual. :)

Thank you!
