Absolute Paths for upload files

  • Hi, I have a multiple server WP installation and I need a single NFS image depository for my author’s. So, i need to know if is it possible to move my upload files directory somewhere OUTSIDE the Blog URI.

    This is my actual “upload” configuration:

    /usr/local/apacheXX/htdocs/mydamnblog/wp-content/upload
    (and everything works perfectly)

    I need this:

    /nfs/blogfiles/
    (but when i put this on Options/Misc/Upload Directory it stop working as itn put the path in:

    usr/local/apacheXX/htdocs/mydamnblog/nfs/blogfiles/

    And obviously it doesn’t work…

    So, is there a wey to put absolute paths for the upload directory???

    THNKS!!

    No, this cannot be done. WordPress will not allow paths outside of its own directory, for security reasons.

    Make a symlink to the directory if you really need to use a separate directory.
