I have been unable to find any reason why Remedy should be installed under /usr/ar as default. Does anyone know of any issues that occur if we do not use the deafult directory? Ver 4.05, 5.x and 6.x?

Hi...

You can still let AR use the path /usr/ar/.... but still locate the files somewhere else.

If I want to have the AR-installation in its own filesystem I just create a symbolic link from /usr/ar to where I have installed or want to have AR installed. Then AR will happily think it is still located below /usr/ar in the file-systems.

Since there exist symbolic links on unix, I haven't played around to confirm if it is possible to relocate AR on a different path and make AR aware of it.



Sub-parts of the AR-installation, like a plugin-server and all it needs, I have successfully placed somewhere else. And the plugin-server is also aware of a different path and is still working happily as it should.

In this case there have been a need to relocate the plugin-server, because multiple plugin-servers was going to be started/run on the same machine.
