The folder of the databases should contain the same information structure as in the case of an installation on a personal computer. Its location is, by default, within the distribution folder with the name /bases, but it can be located elsewhere and named otherwise according to your preferences. Similarly, the choice of names for your bases and .auth files is unconstrained.

In each of the etc, images, lang and src folders, sub-folders carrying the name of the base mybase.gwb hold the specific data for each base.

  • directory distribution (details the description of the program folder gw/, only bases/ is described here)
    • directory bases: The folder containing the GeneWeb databases
      • directory mybase.gwb: folder of the genealogical database called mybase
      • file mybase.gwf: associated .gwf configuration/parameters file
      • file mybase-f.auth example of password file for friends (friend_passwd_file=)
      • file mybase-w.auth example of password file for wizards (wizard_passwd_file=)
      • directory mybase2.gwb: folder of a second genealogical database mybase2
      • file mybase2.gwf/auth configuration files associated to mybase2, etc.
      • directory cnt: holding the robot file, locks, and memorising the access counts for each base
        • file actlog
        • file robot list IP address of robots
        • file mybase.txt access counts for mybase
        • file mybase.lck lock file for mybase
      • directory etc: used in priority over the generic gw/etc files (see templates)
        • directory mybase: template folders for mybase
          • directory perso_module
            • file module_xx.txt

          • file first_name.occurence.last_name.jpg
          • file other_first_name.occurence.last_name.jpg
        • directory mybase2: idem
