I try to move the var folder to put it next to the ezroot folder like this:

|--ezroot
|--var

I started with site.ini:

[FileSettings]
VarDir=../var

This works fine but can I really find this kind of settings for everything stored in var folder or is it definitively impossible to move this folder?
