Folder Structure
Note - this is my personal preference for folder structure and it differs from that of ZebraHost.
Create the following folders on the server:
Folder |
Purpose |
c:\a5webroot |
Root folder for all published projects. |
c:\a5webroot\project1 |
Where "project1" is the name of the project you will publish. |
c:\a5\logs |
All Alpha Five logs. |
c:\a5\setups |
Alpha Five setup files, update files, etc. |
c:\a5\configs |
Configuration XML files for each WAS instance, if needed. |
c:\a5\ssl |
SSL certificates and related files, if needed. |
Here is an example folder structure for two published projects:
c:\a5webroot\project1 |
called the "webroot" for Project 1 |
c:\a5webroot\project2 |
called the "webroot" for Project 2 |
c:\a5webroot\project1 |
contains web files for project 1 |
c:\a5webroot\project2 |
contains web files for project 2 |
c:\a5webroot\data\project1 |
data files for project 1 (empty if SQL-based) |
c:\a5webroot\data\project2 |
data files for project 2 (empty if SQL-based) |
c:\a5\configs\project1.xml |
the xml file for project 1 |
c:\a5\configs\project1.xml |
the xml file for project 2 |
c:\a5\logs\project1_access.log |
Access log for project1 |
c:\a5\logs\project2_access.log |
Access log for project2 |
