I had run out of space on / on the IPCop box. The installer sets /var/logs as the largest partition because once you install IPCop its supposed to sit forever and just log stuff. So when Update Accelerator installed it stored the update to /home/httpd/html/updatecache by default. Needless to say the partition filled quickly after downloading all the updates required for Windows XP. As a fix I moved the updatecache folder to /var/log/updatexlrator/updatecache and put in a symbolic link. Works like a charm and still have plenty of room!
cd /home/httpd/html
mv updatecache/ /var/log/updatexlrator
ln -s /var/log/updatexlrator/updatecache updatecache
chown nobody:squid /var/log/updatexlrator/updatecache -R
chmod 775 /var/log/updatexlrator/updatecache -R
Then you need to edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to enable HTTPD to use symbolic links.
nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Edit this part:
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
and change to:
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Save the file:
Ctrl+O to write out file.
Ctrl+X to exit.
At the prompt type:
killall httpd
httpd -DSSL
thanks! this was exactly what i was looking to do.
It says in the documentation, about 3 or 4 times over, not to do this. If you’re pressed for space you can use AddPartition to divide up your /var/log partition. Better still is to add another drive, mount it at /home/httpd/html/updatecache, and then run the install script again.
