    Umbraco does not recognize change to media folder

    According to this doucment http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/webconfig/additional-umbraco-specific-appsettings I shoould be able to change media file folder. So I added <add key="umbracoMediaPath" value="~/MyFolder/media" /> and I hope to use new folder location.

     

    Today, I opened Umbraco 4.9 and uploaded one image to my media library, the tool recreated the ~/media folder I have deleted already and added new file to ~/media folder again like ~/media/32500/my-file.png.

     

    Please let me know what shall I do to make media files appear under my new folder? I think it worked on 4.7.2.

    Hi Hardy,

    I just tested this out too, and got the same results.  Looks like it worked in 4.8.1 but not 4.9.0.  You might want to report this as an issue on the bugtracker to see if it can be fixed for the next release.  Make sure to link back to it here so anyone who sees this thread can vote for it:  http://issues.umbraco.org/issues

    Also, as a workaround, you might create the /media/ folder as a virtual directory that points to your custom path - that should work.
