OctopusDeploy not deploying package to Custom Installation Directory


I'm pretty new to OctopusDeploy and am trying to set up a process to deploy our artifact to multiple Windows Servers.

As of right now it is deploying the package to the default working directory of C:\Octopus\Applications...... but I need it to be deployed to a different path.

I have defined a Custom Install Directory in the process editor, however this seems to be overlooked during the deployment, and the package just goes to the default directory.

I have tried substituting the path with a variable, but that didn't fix it. There are no errors or warnings in the deployment logs.

Can anyone help?


Solution

  • Sounds like you're taking the right steps to change your custom installation directory on your deployment.

    One thing to check is that you've created a new release since updating your step configuration. Because releases in Octopus snapshot the deployment process, any updates you make won't show up in your deployments until you've created a new release.
