# DriverDirectory

Points libdbi to the directory that contains its driver shared objects.

This parameter applies to omlibdbi: Generic Database Output Module.

Name:

  DriverDirectory

Scope:

  module

Type:

  word

Default:

  module=none

Required?:

  no

Introduced:

  Not documented

## Description

Set this global option only when libdbi cannot find its drivers automatically. It tells libdbi where the driver modules are installed.

Most systems ship libdbi-driver packages that register the directory properly. Only installations that place drivers in nonstandard paths need this parameter.

## Module usage

    module(load="omlibdbi" driverDirectory="/usr/lib/libdbi")

### Legacy names (for reference)

Historic names/directives for compatibility. Do not use in new configs.

- $ActionLibdbiDriverDirectory — maps to DriverDirectory (status: legacy)
