What version are you running and how did you install?   Pre-3.2
versions don't let you change TopDir after the initial install (which
has already been done in distribution-packaged .deb/.rpm versions).
If you install from the sourceforge tarball, the install script lets
you pick the location - and 3.2 lets you change Topdir after the
install.
