Maxscape File System Link
The symbolic link '/maxscape' points to the root directory of the Maxscape webserver installation. Because only the '/maxscape' link, instead of the absolute path is used by the Maxscape code, the actual Maxscape installation can be located under an arbitrary path (/usr/src/maxscape/3.00). The link is also useful as an entry point to change to a directory (cd /maxscape/etc).
> ln -s /opt/maxscape/3.00 /maxscape # Link to the Maxscape distribution > ln -s /usr/src/maxscape/3.00 /maxscape # Link to the source installation

Application Server Directory Structure
All files, that are special to an application site, are placed under the '/maxscape/server' directory. Each application server is uniquely defined by its application server name and installed in a separate directory named '/maxscape/server/'application server name'/'.
/maxscape/server/'application server' bin Place to put helpful scripts cgi-bin CGI scripts docs Document root of the site etc Application server configuration files lib Modules and functions logs Link to the Apache log files tables Text dump of the content database
Application Libraries and Modules
Libraries and applications global to a application server should be placed under the '/maxscape/server/'application server name'/lib' directory. Although this is not mandatory, it helps to standardize the programming system. To prevent name clashes, put files in a own directory and prefix modules with this prefix (e.g. $myObject = myScape::myClass->new();).
/maxscape/lib/ perl Site global Application modules. perl/maXscape/SiteApplication.pm Site global applications. perl/maXscape/SiteApplication/Page.pm Site Application of the 'Page' class. ...
Application server global functions and modules are located under the related /maxscape/server/'your application Server'/lib directory:
/maxscape/server/'your application Server'/lib/ perl 'your' Libraries. perl/yourScape 'your' Libraries. perl/yourScape/ServerApplication.pm 'your' Applications. perl/yourScape/ServerConfiguration.pm 'your' Configuration. ...
Process local functions and modules are located under the related /maxscape/server/'your application Server'/lib/perl/Maxscape directory, as described in 'Processes' manual section.
