    Change media-folder to absolute path

    Hi! I've moved my media-folder from the default location to a server. I'm trying to figure out how to do this properly.

    I saw an example of how to do this where they in "FileSystemProviders.config" instead of using "virtualRoot", they used this instead:

    <Provider alias="media" type="Umbraco.Core.IO.PhysicalFileSystem, Umbraco.Core">
<Parameters>
    <add key="rootPath" value="\\[ourdomain].net\dfstest\Media" />
    <add key="rootUrl" value="http://media.[ourdomain].net/media/" />
</Parameters>

    I've tried this, it seems that the "rootPath" is working correctly, if I drag'n'drop a file in backoffice it is added to the specified "rootPath". However, no thumbnail is generated and if I click on the url in "link to media" I get a 404.

    I'm not sure I'm setting the "rootUrl" correctly. I'm changing [ourdomain] to the hostname that I specified in IIS. I'm also changing .net to .se.

    Is this the proper way to change the path to the media-folder? Or is there a more trivial solution?
