| - | This article lists how to change the agent installation directory. Certain cases may arise where a new installation cannot be performed/doesn't want to be performed, so you can manually modify the installation settings of an agent to recognize the new directory that it resides. ''It is still recommended to reinstall the agent instead of manually performing an update, and this should article should only be considered a last resort to moving an agent.'' | + | This article lists how to change the installation directories for anthillpro. There are certain scenarios that may require for the installation directory to be changed (such as ''moving an agent directory'' to a new location due to new hardware installation such as a larger hard drive; ''moving the entire server'' to a new partition on the same hard drive; etc.) and manually updating these settings can be quite tedious. Thankfully, anthillpro's upgrade can be "fakily tricked" into repairing the installation by ''upgrading itself''. '''While a manual update of all the respective files in an installation can be performed, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND simply reupgrading an upgrade as the automated process can make this scenario much easier!''' |

| A simple re-install (fake upgrade) of the agent can easily fix this, as running the installer will reconfigure some settings for the agent (for example, a different JAVA_HOME, different agent install path, x86 to x64 architecture on Java, etc.). | A simple re-install (fake upgrade) of the agent can easily fix this, as running the installer will reconfigure some settings for the agent (for example, a different JAVA_HOME, different agent install path, x86 to x64 architecture on Java, etc.). | ||
