I used to have a Drupal 7 installation on var/www
, but I had to move it to var/www/drupal
. The problems is that my files are still in var/www/sites/default/files
and I am unable to move them.
I need to make Drupal use that directory as default file directory (just on level above). On admin/config/media/file-system
, I tried to use absolute file path, without success. I tried to set ../sites/default/files
too; it was almost successful, but now I am having problems with the image creation and caching. I have to manually load every single image style; otherwise, it does not find the file.
How can I set up a public file folder which is one folder above Drupal's root folder?
