Modify the "exec cwd" path of the process -PM2

Question

I have multiple processes that run on the server.

• Each of the processes is placed in it's own directory.
• All of them are controlled by PM2
• Each process is supposed to have config and ecosystem files within their folders
• Root folder is supposed to be empty and not related to any processes.

One process that was set up incorrectly. I had to make it work (without touching things that do) so for this process :

• Pm2 show (id) indicated that the exec cwd is running from root so:
• Copy essential folders and files of the root folder
• Config folder, logs, other essentials had to be copied

I would like to redirect the process from root to its own folder. It seems I can do it simply by modifying the exec cwd but I don't know how to do it.

Please help :) Cheers

Answer 1

Ok well.

It seems it is impossible to modify it like this as this functionality is not implemented.

Therefore:

• copy ecosystem and what you need from folder you are in to where you want it to run from
• delete the process completely
• do cd {path to your desired directory}
• pm2 start ecosystem.config.js

//Additional if you want to keep the process old Id

• pm2 kill (deletes all processes)
• pm2 resurrect (restores them all with original id's)
