# Configuration of the Project Navigator Main Directory

ZebraTester can be configured to have its Project Navigator Main Directory on a shared disk or a shared directory, given all members of a team the same view of the data. On Windows, a directory "Share" must already exist. On Unix systems, the shared directory must be already mounted using NFS or mounted via Samba.

### Windows systems <a href="#configurationoftheprojectnavigatormaindirectory-windowssystems" id="configurationoftheprojectnavigatormaindirectory-windowssystems"></a>

In Windows, the ZebraTester `mytests.dat` configuration file must be edited using a text editor such as Notepad. The entry in this file must point to the directory share. This directory shared must be created using Windows before the ZebraTester configuration file is edited. The `mytests.dat` is located in the ZebraTester installation directory.

### Unix systems <a href="#configurationoftheprojectnavigatormaindirectory-unixsystems" id="configurationoftheprojectnavigatormaindirectory-unixsystems"></a>

On Unix systems, the `mytests.dat` configuration file must be manually created in the ZebraTester installation directory using a text editor such as **vi**, The **only entry** in this file should be the path to the new main directory. **Note:** on Unix

systems that have only an Exec Agent started, this file is not necessary.

After setting the new Project Navigator main directory, the ZebraTester application must be closed. In addition, **all cookies in your Web Browser must be deleted** because the old main directory is also stored in a browser cookie. After that ZebraTester can then be re-started, and the new main directory will be active.

Further information about ZebraTester configuration files can be found in the "Application Reference Manual", Chapter 7.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apica.io/platform-docs/zebratester-scripting/zebratester-user-guide/4.-execute-the-load-test/executing-load-test-programs/project-navigator/configuration-of-the-project-navigator-main-directory.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
