Change Database Location for ZIP

The default directory where Hub stores data contains the following subdirectories:

Name	Description
`hub`	Contains the database for the Hub service
`internal`	May contain other internal product data

When you copy your existing database to the new location, make sure the new location uses the same folder structure that is shown here.

You can use the following procedure to change the database location for a ZIP distribution.

To change the database location:

Back up the database. Just in case.
Stop the Hub service. For specific instructions, see Start and Stop Hub ZIP.
Move your existing database to the new database directory.
Enter the following configure command to set the location of the new data directory:
<hub_home> bin/hub.sh configure --data-dir=<new Hub database directory>
For a ZIP installation, the <hub_home> directory is the location where the ZIP distribution was unpacked during installation.
Start the Hub service. For specific instructions, see Start and Stop Hub ZIP.

Other Directories

If you move your database to another server, you may also want to change the location where Hub stores logs and temp files.

To change the location of these files, follow the same procedure that is described for changing the database location and execute the following commands in the script file:

Directory	Command
Backups	`configure --backups-dir=<new Hub backups directory>`
Logs	`configure --logs-dir=<new Hub logs directory>`
Temp	`configure --temp-dir=<new Hub temp directory>`
