[Solved] Custom path for install not working

[silversword]

On windows, trying to initialize the database in a custom path it doesn't retain settings (and can't even find the database file). See

Is the path to the DB which you configured during the config wizard saved properly to the 'unimus.properties' config file at all?

[silversword]

Yes, this is what's in the unimus.properties file:

database.path = C:\\dave\\UTILS\\Unimus
database.type = hsql
encryption.key = #U<snip>
license.key = L-<snip>

But I don't see any files in the path (see previous pic)

EDIT: see the next post.

So a slight update...

What actually happens in your case is that the DB path is "C:\\dave\\UTILS\\Unimus".
This will create the database in "C:\dave\UTILS", with name "Unimus".
It will NOT create the database in "C:\dave\UTILS\Unimus\" (the trailing "\" is important).

For the behaviour you expect, enter the path as for example "C:\dave\UTILS\Unimus\db" in the wizard
Or "C:\dave\UTILS\Unimus\", which will create a no-name database inside that folder.

Tried to apply a little logic and just manually change settings.....didn't work. Just setup again fresh and it looks good now

Thx!
