1. Copy files to new directory. 

   Code Block
   cp -r /usr/local/nmis8 /opt/nmis8

2. Fix permissions on the copied files. 

   Code Block
   chown -Rv nmis:nmis /opt/nmis8 chmod -Rv g+w /opt/nmis8

3. Edit config files so that NMIS will write data to our new location, edit /usr/local/nmis8/conf/Config.nmis 

   Code Block
   # this line line 13: '<nmis_data>' => '<nmis_base>', # should change to line 13: '<nmis_data>' => '/opt/nmis8',

4. To test, move the existing data directores to new folders. 

   Code Block
   mv /usr/local/nmis8/database /usr/local/nmis8/database_old

5. Run a manual update, you should see no errors. 

   Code Block
   /usr/local/nmis8/bin/nmis8nmis.pl type=update debug=1 # you should not see any errors like this: # createRRD, ERROR (localhost) unable to create /opt/nmis8/database/health/server/localhost-reach.rrd: creating '/opt/nmis8/database/health/server/localhost-reach.rrd': No such file or directory

6. Open or reload the NMIS web page and everything should still look the same.

7. After confirming there are no errors you can now safely delete the old database directory. 

   Code Block
   theme Emacs
   rm -rf /usr/local/nmis8/database_old
