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 header.txt base specific header file
          • file trl.txt base specific trailer file
        • directory mybase2: idem
      • directory images
        • directory mybase: portraits images for mybase
          • file first_name.occurence.last_name.jpg
          • file other_first_name.occurence.last_name.jpg
        • directory mybase2: idem
      • directory lang: containing some base specific language related template text files (lexicon for instance)
        • directory mybase
        • directory mybase2
      • directory src
        • directory mybase
          • directory images: images called with m=IMH
            • file myimage.jpg
          • file file1.txt: text file called with m=SRC
        • directory mybase2: idem
    • directory gw
    • […] gwd/gwsetup launch scripts, README, etc.

Bases folder in GeneWeb 7

GeneWeb 7 simplifies the archival of databases regrouping all the files needed for a single database under the same folder. With this configuration, it becomes possible to use archival tools such as tar, zip or rar (see save for details and comments).

  • directory distribution (details the description of the program folder gw/, only bases/ is described here)
    • directory bases: The folder containing the GeneWeb databases
      • file comm.log: execution log of the last base creation with a gwc command
      • file perso_lexicon.txt: UTF-8 personnal complementary lexicon (loaded with -add_lexicon at gwd start)
      • file tags.txt: alternate list of authorized HTML tags (loaded with -allowed_tags at gwd start)
      • directory mybase.gwb: folder of the genealogical database called mybase
        • file params.gwf: associated .gwf configuration/parameters file
        • file mybase-f.auth: example of password file for friends (friend_passwd_file= in params.gwf)
        • file mybase-w.auth: example of password file for wizards (wizard_passwd_file= in params.gwf)
        • file counts.txt: access counts
        • file history: history of modifications
        • file particles.txt: particles list for this base.
        • directory documents: image/txt/pdf/html files, subdirs allowed
          • file mytext.txt: text files called with m=TXT or m=SRC
          • file mydoc.pdf: PDF files called with m=PDF
          • file mypage.html: HTML pages called with m=HTM
          • file myimage.jpg: images called with m=IMG or m=IMH (m=IM kept for backward compatibility)
        • directory etc: personnalized variants of template files, used in priority over the generic gw/etc files (see templates)
          • directory perso_module: personnalized variants of perso_modules files
            • file module_xx.txt
          • directory templatex: personnal variant of templatex files
          • file hed.txt: base specific header file
          • file trl.txt: base specific trailer file
        • directory history_d: folder with all diff files (this folder may be located elsewhere according to history_path= in params.gwf)
        • directory portraits: portraits images
          • file first_name.occurence.last_name.jpg
          • file other_first_name.occurence.last_name.jpg
        • […] base, base.acc, cache_info […] names.inx, notes_links, patches (internal files and folders of the database)
      • directory mybase2.gwb: folder of a second genealogical database mybase2
        • […] the organisation is the same for each database see description for mybase.gwb folder above
      • directory cnt: holding the robot file, locks, and memorising the access counts for each base
        • file actlog:
        • file mybase.lck: lock file for mybase
        • file robot: list IP addresses of detected robots
    • directory gw
    • […] gwd/gwsetup launch scripts, CHANGES.txt, README, etc.

Note that with this configuration, all personnalization happens in files stored in the base folder. A new release of GeneWeb may be installed safely by copying the new gw folder and possibly new copies of gwd/gwsetup launch scripts, CHANGES.txt, README, etc (the last two lines of the tree above).
