I have xampp installed on my Linux machine and it seems to be working fine. I want to move my installation (the /opt directory) to a remote directory ( that is mounted on a remote nfs server where data get backed up automatically). I don't have root access to the server, but I can write to it with my username.
Can someone help me out on changes should I make to the config files so that I can run xampp as root but on the remote server ?
I tried moving my files to the remote server and making a /opt symbolic link to the remote directory. I also changed the my.cnf file to create the mysql.sock file on a local root writable directory, but I cannot connect to the mysql server if it is not located on /opt.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
