Why

As of Flamingo version 4.3.3 it is necessary to set a data directory. It is used for storing the index which is built by Solr.

How

Windows

On Windows platforms the location of the Flamingo data directory is controlled by the FLAMINGO_DATA_DIR environment variable. The method of setting this variable depends on the Windows version.

Windows XP

  1. From the Desktop or Start Menu right-click the My Computer icon and select Properties.
  2. On the resulting dialog select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
  3. Click the New button and create a environment variable called FLAMINGO_DATA_DIR and set it to the desired location.

Other versions of windows

ToDo

Linux

On Linux platforms the location of the Flamingo data directory is controlled by the FLAMINGO_DATA_DIR environment variable. Setting the variable can be achieved with the following command (in a bash shell):

% export FLAMINGO_DATA_DIR=/opt/flamingo_data

Place the command in the .bash_profile or .bashrc file (again assuming a bash shell). Ensure that this done for the user running Flamingo. Ensure the permissions are correct.

Documentation on how to set the data directory comes from the Geoserver documentation.
