With Combu 3: Is there a straightforward way to store some Custom Files on another server? We're thinking of storing screenshots in the player's account, but that would add up to a major storage load on our main website, so we'd like to store those on Amazon or somewhere else with cheap storage. Is that possible?
thanks

The only way would be if both your Combu server and file storage are in the same network (or connected through a VPN link), in which case you could create a symbolic link "upload" (instead of a physical directory on local disk) pointing to a mount endpoint from the other server.
Else you'll need to move the whole Combu server to the storage server (and eventually also the database, since most providers deny the direct MySql connection to external IPs). Installing Apache, PHP, MySql and Combu on Amazon EC/AWS is pretty easy.

Okay, thanks! We want to keep Combu on our main server drive (it's SSD), but possibly we can get a secondary disk drive with that host and set this symbolic link. I'll ask the host about it.
