Hi Digital Man,

Would yoyu please tell me what file and where it is located that controls where all the file areas are?


For some reason all the file areas I had have disappeared and now they are all in my data\dir directory and that is not where they have been. They have all been on my D drive. But when I go in and look they are now all gone for some reason. Is there a way I can get this all back form a older backup I have to restore all to where and what they were?


Thanks
Mojo

Hi Digital Man,

Would yoyu please tell me what file and where it is located that controls where all the file areas are?

The file area configuration is in SCFG->File Areas.

For some reason all the file areas I had have disappeared

Can you elaborate: disappeared from where?

and now they are
all in my data\dir directory and that is not where they have been.

I assume you mean data/dirs (plural), and that's where the database files for the file areas are normally stored.

They have
all been on my D drive. But when I go in and look they are now all gone for some reason. Is there a way I can get this all back form a older backup I have to restore all to where and what they were?

If it's a configuration file problem (e.g. you overwrite files in your ctrl directory from CVS or .zip), then you restore a backup of your .cnf files and you should be all good. There should also be auto-backups of .cnf files (e.g. file.0.cnf) in your ctrl dir as well.

I found the problem and got it fixed now. It was the files in the CTRL directory is where the problem was. I restored them from a backup and all returned to normal.


But I do have a question about those files in the CTRL directory (.cnf) files, can they be put in the mods directory and have ti still find them and use them from there?


I was jsut curious if it could be done with them like other files can be put in the mods directory...


Thanks

No, mods is only for "modified" scripts/modules.
