How to change the home directory of hudson?

Question

I deployed hudson.war in the sun application server 9.1. I like to check how can i change the home directory of hudson to point to another directory becasue if using a .hudson directory is not ok as i have very little diskspace left in main disk drive.

Answer 1

See: Administering Hudson

I pass the following:

-DHUDSON_HOME=path/to/hudson

to my container (Tomcat).

Answer 2

How can I do it on Windows? I installed Hudson and added it (.war file) to tomcat webapps, tomcat created C:.hudson folder and everything goes there for hudson build. Now I want to change C:.hudson to L:.Hudson, how can I do that?

Regards

Answer 3

1. Start button
2. Right-click "Computer", then Properties
3. Click Advanced System Settings
4. Click Environment Variables
5. Under "System Variables" click New..., and make a new variable called HUDSON_HOME. Set this to your desired directory.

Now create a new CMD.EXE and launch Hudson, or restart Tomcat and Hudson will use the new directory.
