Server Directory Structure

From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

[edit] General

The directory structure for a typical BOINC Powered Project looks like:

PROJECT/
    apps/
    bin/
    cgi-bin/
    log_HOSTNAME/
    pid_HOSTNAME/
    download/
    html/
        inc/
        ops/
        project/
        stats/
        user/
        user_profile/
    keys/
    upload/

where PROJECT is the name of the project and HOSTNAME is the Server Host. Each Project Directory Structure contains in subdirectories at least the following:

• apps: application and BOINC Daemon executables
• bin: Server Daemons and programs.
• cgi-bin: CGI Programs
• log_HOSTNAME: log output
• pid_HOSTNAME: lock files, pid files
• download: storage for Data Server downloads.
• html: PHP files for public and private web interfaces
• keys: encryption keys
• upload: storage for Data Server uploads.

The upload and download directories may contain large numbers (millions) of files. For efficiency they are normally organized as shown in Hierarchical Upload/Download Directories.
