Help with Oscar Installation - FrankIII - 02-24-2024 Hello, I am looking for some advice with Oscar installation. I've actually had Oscar running for years with no problem, BUT my 14+ year old computer is not running well. I tried to install Oscar on my new computer and that did work, however, I did not notice that during the initial running of Oscar, the data file location was set to the cloud. I don't want my data files on the cloud and want them locally on my PC. I've uninstalled, re-installed Oscar and even downloaded Oscar 1.51. It still keeps going directly to the web looking for my files even on the new version. There must be a setting or file somewhere that tells Oscar when the data files should be located, but I've spent 5+ hours today looking to no avail. Does anyone know how to change the pointer for the data file location? Thanks, Frank RE: Help with Oscar Installation - Sleeprider - 02-24-2024 What operating system? RE: Help with Oscar Installation - FrankIII - 02-24-2024 Sorry about that... Microsoft Windows v11 Pro. RE: Help with Oscar Installation - Crimson Nape - 02-25-2024 You CAN NOT store the OSCAR_Data directory to the cloud. The code is not designed for that and does not tolerate any latency in connecting to the data file. You need to use a local directory for the data. If you wish to archive it to the cloud, backup this directory to it. Follow these steps to set up the data locally:
RE: Help with Oscar Installation - FrankIII - 02-25-2024 Hello Red, I wasn't trying to store Oscar data to the cloud, I simply did not notice that was the location that Oscar set during the initial running of the program. I could not find the location to change to get it re-directed BACK to my local HDD. Your instructions to SPOT-ON! I was able to use option 2 and use regedit to set the path back to my PC and where I had the data files copy to that were from my old PC. It is up and running fine now. Thank You for your help! Frank RE: Help with Oscar Installation - Crimson Nape - 02-25-2024 The reason the first option didn't work is because of a typo I stupidly typed in. The "data-dir" should actually be "datadir". I have edited the post above in case someone else reads this and needs the (correct) information. Thank you for mentioning your experience. - Red |
