By default the PirateBox HTML files are located in the directory /sdcard/paw/html/app/plugins/piratebox_plugin/html and uploaded files are stored in the folder uploads inside the HTML directory.
I'll demonstrate what to do to move the PirateBox to a different directory (in my example /sdcard/piratebox_ext). You can of course also use a directory on an external SD card.
Copying the HTML Directory
First thing to do ist to create the new folder /sdcard/pireatebox_ext.
Now copy the directory /sdcard/paw/html/app/plugins/piratebox_plugin/html to the new location /sdcard/pireatebox_ext.
As a next step we will edit the PAW server configuration.
Changing the PAW Configuration
The configuration file used for PirateBox is named handlers.xml and it's located inside the /sdcard/paw/html/app/plugins/piratebox_plugin/conf directory.
Edit this file and replace each occurence of /sdcard/paw/html/app/plugins/piratebox_plugin with /sdcard/piraebox_ext.
Changing the Web Pages
Last step to do is to edit the files list.xhtml and pb.xhtml inside the /sdcard/piratebox_ext/html directory.
In each file there is one line that defines the upload directory.
Again, change each occurence of /sdcard/paw/html/app/plugins/piratebox_plugin to /sdcard/piraebox_ext.
That's it ... on next startup the new PirateBox location should be used.
