Re: [Wrapper-user] configuring Wrapper to run to java classes to run as one service. ..

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Elhanan,
    I am planning to add the ability to set any user directory for the 
Wrapper in a future
version.  But for now, it is not possible to set the user dir to any 
location other than the
location of the Wrapper.exe file.   If you really need the user 
directory to be in the root
directory, then the only way to do this is to actually place the 
Wrapper.exe in the root.
This should work.  You will have to modify the startup scripts and any 
other related
paths in the wrapper.conf file.  It will work however.

Cheers,
Leif
