I'm on debian etch (4.0) and I have no physical access to the server, I'm using ext2/3 (not lvm), do you have any suggestion? How did you do that?
hi,
i've made it with a installscript of my hoster. ask your hoster about installscripts. these installscripts should partition your harddrives with other sizes.

Well, the thing is I don't want to lose data, the server has a lot of important data.
I know a way to resize/create partitions, but only if I had physical/offline access to the server...
Does anyone know a way?
I was thinking about shrinking /home and then either:
- enlarge / partition with the free unpartitioned space
- create /var partition with the free unpartitioned space
What do you suggest?
RE: change www root to /home/www - weblivehelp - 06-05-2008 04:41 AM
Well, I fixed this by moving /var/www to /home/www (created this last dir) and then creating a symlink from /var/www to /home/www like:
ln -s /home/www /var/www
I'm just having some problems when adding a catch-all (haven't happened before), but I'm not sure if it's related to this.

Bind mount the solution
Can you mount directory like partition!
stop the apache2 service
Code:
/etc/init.d/apache2 stopand move all files /var/www to /home/www
and add this line to the
/etc/fstab
Code:
/home/www /var/www none bind 0 0and next
Code:
mount -a
/etc/init.d/apache2 startRE: change www root to /home/www - weblivehelp - 06-08-2008 03:24 AM
I honestly like my solution better.
The only "problem" is that every function on ispCP stopped working (all status remain "addition in progress", but that's probably because I didn't change the path variables in /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf though I don't see much sense in that) I solved by adding the ispcp-rqst-mgr to the cron running every 15 minutes.

You could have avoided that problem by simply mounting /var/www/virtual onto another partition instead of the entire /var/www/ path. That way all users are on a new partition, and /var/www/ won't take up much space, since it's mainly ispcp stuff. I'm using that setup and it works well.

Well, I now don't have any problems with this, I just changed the paths in /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf, /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispcp.conf and /etc/ispcp/apache/working/ispcp.conf and all is good, no need to have that on cron or anything else.
I also moved mysql, mail and log/apache and log/mysql to /home
All is good
