eey there,

On my dedicated server they made partitions of the harddisk.
the /var got around 950 gig space and the others got only some 10 gig space.
So i would like to install my minecraft server in the big space. also the backups would be placed there.

Could i achieve that with symbolic links? Could you help me then with looking for the good maps and if the installation is different when i want this?

thank you.

cya Hirsidor.

btw. the program works great and works like a charm. i used it for an other server thank you for that.!

    If your using one of the install scripts, it will ask you for the path you wish to install MSM into. At this point you could enter /var/msm (no trailing slash) if you wanted to.

    After you have installed MSM, be sure to check /etc/msm.conf and make sure that SERVER_STORAGE_PATH, JAR_STORAGE_PATH and VERSIONING_STORAGE_PATH are all correct paths. They should be /var/msm/servers, /var/msm/jars and /var/msm/versioning respectively (if your chose path in the install script was /var/msm.
