Verify the version:

The best way to verify the Ezserver version is to look in Add Remove programs / Uninstall a Program in newer version of windows*

• Versions 4.1 or newer you will modify the  config.ini under the '4.1 or newer version below.
• Versions older than 4.1 you will modify the filepath location in the Default (old Version)

EzServer to  EzServer 4.1 Data or higher, the VTFilemanageer no longer controls the file path and will need to update the EzWebServer (Service) file path that it references.

To update the File Path you will need to update the path the EzWebService points to by one of two options, either by using the Simple Version editing the .ini directly or using the Server Control Manager.

Moving the data:

• You will want to locate the C:\Program Files (x86)\VATECH\Common\FM\FMdata\  folder (Or current location if not in default location)
• Copy the 'FMdata' folder to the location desired.

Using Server Configuration Config.ini (Simple Way)

To change using the Server Config.ini - you will simply edit the .ini path to the specified file path required.

In this example using "G:\Vatech\Common\FM\FMData" as its destination data storage path, the Config.ini will need to be updated* moving the data from the default C: location.

New Version EzServer 4.1 or Newer:

To change using the location Server Config.ini - you will simply edit the .ini path to the specified file path required.

In this example using "G:\Vatech\Common\FM\FMData" as its data storage path, the Config.ini will need to be updated*
