The Crowd Home directory is where Crowd will store its configuration information. If you are using the embedded HSQL database, supplied for evaluation purposes, Crowd will also store its database in this directory. To specify the directory:

  • Open the crowd-init.properties file.
  • Choose the appropriate line in the file, depending upon your operating system (see below).
  • Remove the # at the beginning of the line.
  • Enter the name of the directory you want Crowd to use as its Home directory. For example,
    • On Windows: 
      crowd.home=c:/data/crowd-home

      Note: On Windows, make sure you use forward slashes as shown above, not backward slashes.

    • On Mac and Unix-based systems: 
      crowd.home=/var/crowd-home
  • Save the crowd-init.properties file.
