| + | ===== POPFile's Directory Structure and Configuration Files ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | POPFile requires its directory structure and configuration files exist under the POPFile installation directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | **Assuming you install POPFile to /usr/local/brad/popfile/ then your installation will look like this:** | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | <code> POPFile installation directory (contains popfile.pl, utilities and configuration files)</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> POPFile module directories (these contain the Perl modules that comprise POPFile)</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/Classifier | ||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/Platform | ||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/POPFile | ||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/Proxy | ||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/UI | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> POPFile manual, skins and languages directories</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/skins | ||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/manual | ||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/languages | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <code> POPFile messages directory (contains message history and cache)</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | /usr/local/brad/popfile/messages | ||
| + | |||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | **popfile.db** | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you are using the default SQLite backend, then your database will be in the file named popfile.db. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **popfile.pid** | ||
| + | |||
| + | When POPFile runs, it creates a file, popfile.pid, in the POPFile installation directory. The file contains the process id of the running POPFile and is used as a semaphore to prevent multiple instances of POPFile from running. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **popfile.cfg** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once POPFile has been run at least once, a popfile.cfg file will be created. This file contains all of the configuration parameters that control POPFile's operation. These parameters are controlled in several ways; | ||
| + | |||
| + | * They can be altered on a running POPFile from the UI's Advanced Page | ||
| + | |||
| + | * They can be overridden or set at startup by using a [[:OptionReference | commandline parameter]] when running popfile.pl | ||
| + | |||
| + | * They can be altered by manually editing the popfile.cfg file (do this only when POPFile is **not** running). | ||
