Changing the location of the Sigma Web Framework root directory

The CO-install.exe program, in addition to installing and configuring Sigma Web Framework, can also be used to move the location of the Sigma root directory after installation. To accomplish this, use the following steps:

1. Stop the existing Sigma installation using the Windows Service Manager, or by executing the "net stop sigma" command at a command prompt. Verify using the Windows Task Manager that all "CO-" processes have been stopped.
2. Copy the Sigma root directory to its new location using a normal folder copy command.
3. Change working directories to the new "Sigma\system" directory, or navigate to this folder using Windows File Explorer.
4. Execute the "CO-install.exe" program manually, and follow the steps described earlier in this section, needed to re-install the service and reconfigure the Apache HTTP server.
5. Optionally, copy the "Sigma\apache\passwords.dat" file from the old location to the new location, in order to preserve the password database. Note: The installation procedure rewrites the Apache password file in order to provide the default login to the system. The user can also login to the system using the default "admin" password "admin" login, access the Sigma login editor, and resave the configuration data in order to update the passwords.dat file with current settings.
6. Optionally, remove the old Sigma directory.

If the site is implementing IIS or some other third-party HTTP server, additional steps will be required to reconfigure that server. No other steps are needed to modify the location of the Sigma installation.
