Solved Moving the Software Update Server data store off the startup disk Posted on 2010-11-11 Mac OS X 3 Verified Solutions 21 Comments 1,318 Views Last Modified: 2013-11-11 Has anyone succeeded in moving the Software Update Server data store off the startup disk? The default data http://serverfault.com/questions/302632/lion-10-7-software-update-server-can-not-connect-to-apple store is /var/db/swupd/ on the startup disk. Whenever I change the setting (in Server Admin) to a location that is not on the startup disk, the sync to Apple's server fails, and the Software Update Server error log says: Syntax error on line 287 of /etc/swupd/swupd.conf: DocumentRoot must be a directory Line 287 of /etc/swupd/swupd.conf contains the URL of the data store. I have tried all kinds of locations and made sure that the privs are correct. No luck. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26609930/Moving-the-Software-Update-Server-data-store-off-the-startup-disk.html Any ideas? 0 Question by:nxnw Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 12 Best Solution bynxnw Update: workaround identified.

It is important to rember whenever you make a change to a path you use SUdo command or if another utility has the run as option you type root. Sudo runs as root administrator.
