Running the Cogent DataHub as a service and using a custom configuration file directory

I am running DataHub as a service and would like it to look at a different file location for configuration files. How can I accomplish this?


In the DataHub Service Manager, you can set the Configuration Folder value to the file path that you would like to use for the configuration folder, then restart the service.

The Set Global Configuration Folder button lets you specify the configuration file through the registry, even if the DataHub software is not installed as a Windows service. This will override the default configuration folder.

Here's how:

  1. Open the DataHub Service Manager.
  2. Click the button Set Global Configuration Folder.
  3. Type or browse to the folder you want to use for configuration, and click OK.
  4. Restart the Service
