Hi,

I have 3 PCs here and I want all of them to be able to access the same openkm database and repository.
As I do not have windows or linux server running I want to point from each openkm installation to the same db and repository.
I have a Synology NAS here but current firmware does not yet support Java so I have to wait until I can try using it as server.
Database I already have moved to the NAS but configuring openkm to use a network share I was not yet able.

I have seen the parameter: repository.home

But how do I use it?

Tried it that way: repository.home="192.168.1.100/okmrepository"

Application is running but, upload is workin but can´t find the files. Neither at new destination nor at default repository location?

Can someone post a sample? Using OS X and Windows 7.
Windows: \\192.168.1.100\okmrepository
OS X : smb://192.168.1.100/okmrepository


Thanks,
F.

Got it!

OS X
1. Mount Share
2. edit OpenKM.cfg add repository.home=/Volumes/okmrepository
3. delete local repository
4. stop server
5. restart server
6. login -> new repository is created :)

Now I just have to do the same on the other machines as well and see if it is working the way I imagine.

I don't recommend it unless you have a fast enough network because the access to the document will be slower.
