Changing the inputBaseDirectory configuration option to some/other/directory! configures YoSQL to look into the path relative directory some/other/directory.

Option: ‘/an/absolute/path’

Changing the inputBaseDirectory configuration option to /an/absolute/path! configures YoSQL to look into the absolute directory path /an/absolute/path.
