How to reconfigure RabbitMQ not to use %appdata% for config files?
Follow up for question RabbitMQ: change port on Windows Server
as described, a how to on how to re-config rabbit MQ to use an arbitrary directory. This will have some benefits regarding access of the database files etc. when running as a service without having to redefine the %appdata% access rights, which are user bound.
In your windows environmental settings, you'll need to redefine RABBITMQ_BASE, I have tested it with c:\rmq (or one of the others as described in the documentation). Set it to the directory you want to target. See image:
Next, it seems you need to run some commands, I haven't been able to target the correct directory during or prior installation.
So, run the following commands, basically it reinstalls the service again:
C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.6.14\sbin>rabbitmq-service.bat remove
C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.6.14\sbin>rabbitmq-service.bat install
C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.6.14\sbin>rabbitmq-service.bat start
Optional: reinstall management plugin:
C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.6.14\sbin>rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
As you can see, the database files are placed in the c:\rmq directory.

I've tried everything I could find on this topic, yet I'm not able to install Maven.
I'm at the following point:
I have java installed
I unzipped the files from the apache website
I have set up environment variables and added requirement parameters to the path (had to use the escape character in the path, because of the space in Program Files folder name: C:\Program^ Files\apache-maven-3.6.3)
what could be the problem?
cmd
From the attached image all requirements are OK. Try one of those two solutions:
Close the CMD window and reopen it (if you didn't this already).
Restart your computer in in order to apply the environment variables you've just added.
I was getting this windows service error due to a recent Java update on my local machine.
I was finally able to resolve it by following the steps below:
Go to 'System Environment Variables'
Verify 'JAVA_HOME' is pointing to the correct location. If not, change it.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1
Go to the 'bin' folder for elastic-search-7.4.2 and run below commands to remove and reinstall the service.
C:\elasticsearch-7.4.2\bin elasticsearch-service.bat remove
C:\elasticsearch-7.4.2\bin elasticsearch-service.bat install
I have installed the Jabbered 15.07 on my MAC OS. After installation, I want to config it by editing the /Applications/ejabberd-15.07/conf/ejabberd.yml. I am not sure whether it is the file I should change, I searched the Internet and found that sb said the configuration is in the folder /etc but I did not found it there. In order to prove that it is the file I want to find, I open the admin interface and add a record in the "ACL" screen. And after that I checked the ejabberd.yml, but it remained unchanged. So is it the configuration file of ejabberd, if it is not which file it should be and how to configure it?
The location of the config file depend on how you installed ejabberd.
Apparently, you used binary installer, not make install, so config file is as your expected:
/Applications/ejabberd-15.07/conf/ejabberd.yml
Admin interface does not change the config file but write in mnesia database. You could configure ejabberd so that database override config file, but this is not a good practice. To make change permanent, you need to edit ejabberd.yml file.
Note: You should use latest ejabberd published version if you are starting today (15.11).
I have a local repository and I have just signed up to unfuddle and want to sync my local repository to the new one I have created on there.
I was told to run the following command:
svnsync init --username USERNAME http://username.unfuddle.com/svn/username-rep http://SOURCE_REPO_URL
Firstly, I assume I can remove the username stuff if the source repository doesn't require authentication?
Secondly, when I run that command my system doesn't recognize it. I assumed svnsync needed to be added somewhere in Windows so that it could be run via it's name only (think the correct term is an environment variable)?, but not only do I not know how to do that I don't know what program to add...... I cannot find any svnsync.exe or anything locate din my TortoiseSVN folder.
What do I need to do here?
When you install TortoiseSVN you are given the option to install the Subversion binaries as well:
Once you do that, you will see svnsync.exe in the installation folder:
As long as you have C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin in your PATH variable, you will be able to call svnsync.exe from the command-line:
(You can view your PATH variable thus (on Windows 7): Start -> right-click Computer -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment variables.... DO NOT overwrite whatever is there - simply append the path to TortoiseSVN if it isn't already there. More info here.)
Hope this helps.
How to change Jenkins default folder on Windows where Jenkins runs as Windows service.
I want to change C:\Users\Coola\.jenkins folder to d:\Jenkins due to lack of space on C: partition (Every build takes ~10MB of free space). I don't want to reinstall Jenkins as Windows service. I just want to change folder of existing Jenkins instance. In case of lack of global solution I could focus only on relocating jobs folder.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Stop Jenkins service
Move C:\Users\Coola\.jenkins folder to d:\Jenkins
Using regedit, change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Jenkins\ImagePath to "d:\Jenkins\jenkins.exe"
Start service
Apparently, grams' answer works but is not preferred. In Windows software and data/configuration files are supposed to reside in different places. This should be well known to Unix guys, it is basically like having a home directory. However, the wording with regard to JENKINS_HOME is broken anyways as setting an environment variable does not help despite what is being said in the help text.
I used the procedure that is described here: http://tech.nitoyon.com/en/blog/2014/02/25/jenkins-home-win/
Basically:
Stop Jenkins service
Edit entry <env name="JENKINS_HOME" value="%BASE%"/> in jenkins.xml in the Jenkins installation directory. This will be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins. In your case value has to be set to d:\Jenkins
Move Files from the installation directory to the new destination, d:\Jenkins, all except (some of them may not exist in a fresh installation)
jre folder
jenkins.err.log
jenkins.exe
jenkins.exe.config
jenkins.out.log
jenkins.war
jenkins.war.bak
jenkins.war.tmp
jenkins.wrapper.log
jenkins.xml
Restart the service again.
When you read Administering Jenkins you can read all options how to modify the JENKINS_HOME environment variable.
On this website you can read how to configure you Tomcat container to override the JENKINS_HOME environment variable, they advise to create the file $CATALINA_BASE/conf/localhost/jenkins.xml, with the following content:
<Context docBase="../jenkins.war">
<Environment name="JENKINS_HOME" type="java.lang.String" value="/data/jenkins" override="true"/>
</Context>
Here is the answer that worked for me: Jenkins: How to change JENKINS_HOME on Windows
And in addition to grams answer, the most important part is creating an environment variable named JENKINS_HOME with value "D:\Jenkins". Without that, on starting Jenkins it would again create the .jenkins folder in your user home folder.
I was able to change the JENKINS_HOME variable following this http://tech.nitoyon.com/en/blog/2014/02/25/jenkins-home-win/
Setting JUST %JENKINS_HOME% as windows system wide environment variable didn't have any effect!
We installed by dropping the .war into Tomcat, and could set home by just setting the environment variable JENKINS_HOME (with a service restart).
