Hi,

I just installed Piwigo fresh on my Windows 11 system and I would like to change the storage location so that my photos will be stored on D:/Piwigo instead of in the installation folder on my C: drive.


I have installed the following versions.
nginx-1.26.2
php-8.4.2
piwigo-15.3.0

already added
$conf['data_location'] = 'D:/Piwigo/';

to
C:\nginx\html\piwigo\local\configconfig.inc.php

but this gives me an error because it treats the adres as relative. Notice that the adres starts with .\
Permission to that folder is set correctly and matches the original directory.
sub-folder "templates_c" is present and empty.

error message shown when browsing to Piwigo site:

Piwigo encountered an irrecoverable error
.\D:\Piwigo\templates_c no write access

#1    mkgetdir C:\nginx\html\piwigo\include\template.class.php(101)
#2    Template::__construct C:\nginx\html\piwigo\include\common.inc.php(266)
#3    include_once C:\nginx\html\piwigo\index.php(11)


any advice would be highly appreciated.
