1. Open the file called /usr/local/etc/evse-config/smo_config.php.

2. Modify the default folder, resources by replacing the {new_directory} value with the following value, /usr/local/etc/evse-resources/.

define('RESOURCES_DIRECTORY','{new_directory}');

 

  • Default folder
             Default directory - smo_config.png
  • New folder
             New directory - smo_config.png

3. Ensure the new resources folder is compatible with and accessible to the solution.

  • If you are installing Service Manager for the first time, you must recreate the tree structure in the new resources folder and check that write access is correctly assigned.
