Hi,

I am upgrading to V7. I see in the logs this message:

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/7/7d7657b49ea3720ff95928b7b24de81399587bca.png)

Indeed, my `forest` folder is in `/srv/app/joinly-forest/forest`. How can I update this `configDir` property ?

Best  
Guillaume

Hi @Guiguijo,

Thanks for your message.

Did you try to change it in your `Liana.init` function as stipulated in this [documentation](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/how-tos/settings/customize-your-forest-folder)?

Thanks!

@anon34731316

the thing is that it says here in your doc that we should remove the configDir property: [Upgrade to v7 - Documentation](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/how-tos/maintain/upgrade-notes-sql-mongodb/upgrade-to-v7)
