Question
Our network administrators are requesting that we stop uploading MS Office documents to the web server.
Our servers have an area at the same level as htdocs and cgi-bin called data-shared which is the preferred location for non-html (or supporting) files.
In TWiki.cfg I changed the path and url for $pubUrlPath and $pubDir to reflect this but in testing it looks like files are still uploading to the same pub directory that it was using before - where else do I make the change - or is this not even possible?

TWiki's pub directory can be anywhere in the file system, provided it is accessible via URL. In your case you could move
/path/to/htdocs/twiki/pub
to
path/to/data-shared/twiki/pub
if and only if that directory is htdoc enabled. You need to reflect the change in TWiki.cfg's
$pubUrlPath
and
$pubDir
.
Limitation: If the
data-shared
directory is accessible as a mounted drive people will be able to circumvent TWiki's revision control of attachments.
