How to change the home (?) directory for OMERO

Hi, I had installed OMERO successfully a few months ago. However in the meantime we have had some hardware changes. When I try and start OMERO I get

[ome@ome ~]$ omero admin start
FATAL: OMERO directory which needs to be writeable belongs to root: /nctt/omero
Please use "chown -R NEWUSER /nctt/omero" and run as then run /usr/local/src/omero-server/bin/omero as NEWUSER

What has happened is that /nctt/omero is now /ifs/omero.

It's not clear to me whether this is a OMERO "home" directory or something else, so I'm not sure what config variable I should be updating to use the new location.

Any pointers would be appreciated

What's the output of bin/omero config get?

(Be sure to remove any passwords from that)

D'oh! Should've looked at that in the first place! All resolved now.

Thanks for the pointer

[ome@ome ~]$ omero config get
