Salut Pierre-Yves,

The home directory can be specified via the Java system property “org.basex.path”. As it’s required before BaseX is even started, it must be passed on to the JDK, e.g. via “-Dorg.basex.path=/path/to/my/basex”. This string can be…

• statically added to the BASEX_JVM property in your “basexhttp” start script, or
• dynamically assigned to JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS on command-line before running “basexhttp” (export JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS=...).

Hope this helps. If not, just keep on asking ;)

Merci et salutations,
Christian

Hi all,

I would like to precise the home directory of BaseX using org.basex.path (cf. https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Configuration#Home_Directory). Is it possible to configure this when I launch the basexhttp? For exemple, something like (befor launching basexhttp):

export org.basex.path=/path/to/my/basex

Or maybe:

basexhttp -S org.basex.path=/path/to/my/basex

... or what else?

Many thanks in advance to enlighten me 😇

PS: as you can see, I didn't use Java for a long time 😅
