[Webware-discuss] Where to put things

[Mark P. <ma...@mo...>]

Warning: newbie careening down the hallway

I am learning Linux, Webware and python pretty much simultaneously so 
please bear with me.

I have been studying the wiki, which is great by the way, the old site, 
this list and pestering a few kind souls. I don't feel like I really 
understand the "right" was to layout a Webware application. Perhaps 
someone has a moment to comment?

Goal: XML-RPC on the server with home grown client. No browsers 
required.

Web server, primary web site
www.mydomain.com/virtualdomain
	This will host either the cgi or mod_webkit for apache, and redirect 
to the "context" directory. Also a plain html page that describes how 
to contact the admin for help.

Context directory set by MakeAppWorkDir
/usr/local/appdir
	Holds the application specific files including the xml-rpc.py 
customized for the application. Selected directories are given write 
permissions for the user.

Webware
/usr/local/webware
	The Webware distribution

In the Application.conf I need to define the name and path for the 
context.
In Apache, I need to add the virtual domain data and use rewrite to 
append URLs to include the context path.

With this done I can focus on the python code to implement the RPC 
methods.

Is that it?
