The installation creates a number of directories. This topic explains the most important ones.
Directory | Comment |
---|---|
/cache1 | This contains the combined output from the existing web pages that are in the /html directory and the pages that are generated by Arcos. |
/cache2 | By default, all the combined web pages are contained in /cache1. However, you can specify that /cache2 should be used. Typically, you would do this if one web site (say /cache1) were live and another (say cache2) were under development. |
Directory | Comment |
---|---|
/html | All existing web pages that are part of the overall web site you are creating will go in the /html directory (the sub-directories should mirror the existing site). There could be links to the dynamic pages that you are creating using Arcos. |
/html/binary | If a database record exceeds the allowed size, Arcos stores the data on disc in this directory. Although the file is stored here, Arcos sees it as part of the database. |
/html/images | This is the default directory for images. It's a default only, and should not be used if the existing web site has a different structure. |
/html/style | The default location for all style sheets (*.CSS). |
Directory | Comment |
---|---|
/config | All your XML code goes here. |
/config/class | You can over-ride core components of the architecture by putting a different version here. In practice, you are extremely unlikely to do this. |
/config/component | This contains local components for the web site. When you write XML code, you access this directory by using the prefix LOCAL_ |
/config/html | This contains a pointer to the ../html directory. |
/config/layouts | This contains layout files. |
/config/template | This contains template files. |
/config/template/auto | This contains autotemplate files. |
