How to use my extra HDD ?

Hi !

I have dedicated server and on this server i have a second HDD drive and i have name it /disk1

How can upload files on this drive and use it from my website ?

Every file for example *.avi videos i can upload it on my first HDD here /home/admin/User_name/ but i try to find way to upload files and use them on /disk1 HDD.

what i have to do ?

Thanks

 

Create a sub domain and then point the path to the other HDD

 

Thanks for your answer but again when i create subdomain i can use only this drive /home/admin/ and not /disk1

any other help ?

 

Well you will need to do this manually in your apache config file

 

thanks but how ?

 

See http://www.ghacks.net/2009/03/17/adding-a-name-based-virtual-host-in-apache/

 

give the exact path of you home/admin/disk1/.avi file in web code

 

is it just a second HDD or an external HDD?

if you have an external HDD trough usb, i would use it, 'cause it's very slow.

 

i have find the way. You can close the topic.

thanks everybody

 

make symbolic link from disk1 to /home/some/webfolder. But better use second disk for log writes. It will boost your server disk performance.
