Directory structure / separating sites

I'm trying to figure out how to separate sites like in .Mac HomePage. For example, I want to have a site for work, for family, for friends, etc. with their own respective URL.
I can't see how to organize this in iWeb. It works by nesting the site inside its respective folder, but how is it then accessed/changed in iWeb? Going back to iWeb just dumps it into the http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/ base directory.

You have the option in iWeb to Create Site as well as Create Page. There is an additional level of hierarchy to the URL.
So, you'd have http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/Site1/ and http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/Site2/
By default, I believe http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb will always point to the first site you create.

Standby Redo Log Files and Directory Structure in Standby Site

Hi Guru's
I just want to confirm, i know that if the Directory structure is different i need to mention these 2 parameter in pfile
on primary site:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='standby','primary'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='standby','primary'
On secondary Site:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='primary','standby'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='primary','standby'
But i want to confirm this wheather i need to issue the complete path of the directory in both the above paramtere:
like:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/standby','/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/primary'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/standby','/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/primary'
Second Confusion:-
After transferring Redo Standby log files created on primary and taken to standby on the above mentioned directory structure and after restoring the backup of primary db alongwith the standby control file will not impact the physical standby redo log placed on the above mentioned location.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,
Regarding your 1st question, you need to provide the complete path and not just the directory name.
On the standby:
db_file_name_convert='<Full path of the datafiles on primary server>','<full path of the datafiles to be stored on the standby server>';
log_file_name_convert='<Full path of the redo logfiles on primary server>','<full path of the redo logfiles on the standby server>';
Second Confusion:-
After transferring Redo Standby log files created on primary and taken to standby on the above mentioned directory structure and after restoring the backup of primary db alongwith the standby control file will not impact the physical standby redo log placed on the above mentioned location.
How are you creating the standby database ? Using RMAN duplicate or through the restore/recovery options ?
You can create the standby redo logs later.

How get SharePoint Library Folders and Files directory structure in to my custom web site.

Hi,
Actually my requirement is, I would like to pass site name and document library name as a parameter and get a folders and files from the document library and form the directory structure by using Treeview control in my web site.
How should i get? Using Web service / object model?
Web service would return the dataset as a result so from that how could i form the directory structure using Treeview control.
I will select specified files and folders then i ll update sharepoint document library columns for corresponding selected files.
Can anyone help over this, that would be great appreciate.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
Here is the code to iterate through sites and lists:
//iterate through sites and lists
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

CA / NDES Virtual Directory Structure Missing in IIS 7 unable to implement SSL for ADMIN sites

We've recently finiallized both an Enterprice 2008 R2 CA and NDES service installtion configuration. All services are running, to include web enrollment for both. CA sits on a DC, as required, and the NDES roll sits on a standalone machine.
All service generated certificates / templates are in place and or issued including SSL certificates for service web front ends.
I'm trying to take the next step in hardening both of the web front ends by requiring SSL web validation and client SSL authentication.
Problem: When examining the site structures, CA and NDES, within the IIS7 configuration manager the following inconsistancies are present:
     Enterprise CA:
               o No virtual directory is configured or listed under the Certsrv or Enrollment sub-sites, however as previously stated all servies are up and operational.
    2.        NDES:
               o IIS7 configuration manager doesn't list any Certsrv sub-site, but once again all services are up and runniing. I can process SCEP requests via the web.
                   The following 2 items are listed under the default site on the NDES service machine: Rpc and RpcWithCert
                   In past experience I would expect those items to be associated with Exchange, but since NDES is new to me they may be standard.
Not to state the obvious but all Sys32 files and folders are correct as both services are running properly. Can anyone tell me if I've missed some critical article on AD CS or IIS7 that tells me why these 2 conditions are present.
Since the Certsrv sub-site exists on the CA I would assume a normal SSL bind will work, but with critical items missing from within IIS7 (at least from my view) i don't want to compound the problem.. Since there is no Certsrv
structure on the NDES machines I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
V/R BE

CA / NDES all function properly. I'm still reseaching proper IIS 7 SSL implementation, when the virtual directory and sub-site structer is either missing or imcomplete when viewed from within the IIS7 manager.
These services where put into production without a thurough configuration check prior to implementation, so I don't have a test environment setup at the moment to just start playing. I'm thinking this weekend I'm going to have to VSS the current
machines and throw them on the Dev network and see how badly I can break them.

Package and Directory Structure

Hello --
I work in a group that supports 3 web sites. (b2b, b2c, b2e)
We're just beginning to develop Java in-house and
currently using Solaris and JDK 1.2.x.
I need to propose a package and directory structure strategy.
The "reverse the domain name" guideline makes sense to me.
My first thoughts are: ("classes" dir could be created anywhere)
classes/com/ppco/b2X/ <--- for .java and .class files (development)
lib/ <--- for b2X JAR files (ready for test or production)
util/ <--- for our utility classes like DBAccessor
lib/ <--- for our JAR files
sun/ <--- for classes like com.sun.mail pkg
lib/ <--- for JAR files like mail.jar
org/ <--- for classes in org.omg.CORBA pkg
lib/ <--- for JAR files
We need to handle 3rd party classes.
Development would be done in the b2X tree and JAR files would
be installed the lib/ dir for testing and release to production.
Does anyone have recommendations or experiences to share ?
Are there some things to avoid ?
Thanks !
Al

Hello Al,
you are on the right track. A typical convention I follow is:
<project>
bin - for startup scripts, etc. to run your application
build - for build scripts (not necessary if you build using your IDE. See below.)
classes - for my compiled classes
lib - for my 3rd party libraries
src - for my source code
test - for my test code (see http://junit.org/ )
That's the project hierarchy. The src (i.e. the package heirarchy) structure is another story.
As you say, you start with the reverse domain name. This is to give your packages a unique namespace. After that, your best guide is practice. Packages can be larger or smaller, depending on your coding practices. Usually you would have these (exact names may differ), plus others:
com/ppco/client
com/ppco/server
com/ppco/common
com/ppco/db
I think your break down of sun, org, etc. is a bit too much. If you would like to do so, however, I recommend you do the separation under /lib. This way, the top level project directory is not polluted by the different types of libraries in use.
Regards,
Manuel Amago.
From build above: I would suggest you always build your release distribution directly with the JDK, not using any IDE compiler. This is because Sun's JDK is the reference implementation, thus, any compatibility issues are not yours.
An easy way to achieve this is by using ANT (see http://jakarta.apache.ort/ant/ ).

Application Development Directory Structure

I work with a team consisting of five programmers who want to rewrite a suite of software developed in C/C++ to Java. This will consist of numerous application programs; none of which are web-based. We use the UNIX OS and will access an Oracle database using JDBC. We also maintain our source code using CVS. We want to deploy each of our applications as a separate jar file. We would also like to identify either individual applications or groups of applications as Java packages. Our problem is setting up our development directory structure. We've been struggling with various structures, most of which work fine if our source files don't have a package statement, but we've had no luck finding a package statement that works.

They aren't "extraneous levels", they are fundamental
requirements of Java. Have a look at this
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/interpack/
ackages.html. Any beginner Java book/article/tutorial
should explain packages.Thanks for the url, I have perused numerous java books and searched the Sun site, but haven't found anything precise. In some locations I've seen it recommended to separate the source and classes in different directories, while other sources have them together in one file.
Also, in response to an earlier comment, I think
having different related applications under the same
development tree and separated by packages is much
easier to maintain/use/develope than having them all
completely separate.We will have approximately 50 applications, with about 25 related to one application area and the other 25 related to another application area. The source for each of these application areas will be under CVS. To me it doesn't seem like the most convienent way to manage the software. But we'll have to do what we'll have to do.

Export images to a directory structure based on a collection tree?

A question:
Will lightroom have the capability to export images to a directory structure which mirrors a collections logical structure?
The reason I ask this is that when I create websites using third party tools (eg, Jalbum) I typically generate a flash or HTML based site with an menu structure for navigating the images.
So, the image interface is not simply a "flat-file" display as per the templates in Lightroom beta.
To do this, with previous image management tools (eg, iMatch) I create a hierarchy of images based on the categories (or collections) that the images are assigned to, export the images in a folder tree reflecting their categories (or collection), then use, say, Jalbum, to generate the website with the menu tree reflecting the folders/images.
This is extremely useful for more complicated image websites with categories and a large no of images.
If this function was built into Lightroom I guess it would be in the export function such that the "write to folder" box could take an argument {collection name} which would create a folder tree reflecting the collections logical tree which is being exported.
Apologies if this topic has been raised previously. But this function is extremely useful if you are using third party html tools or simply building websites by hand.
Regards
Alistair

I started simmilar thread in Lightroom Feature Requests few months ago, but can't find it anymore since new forum version...
What I can suggest as a new feature is export to directory structure from collections or second option from keywords. Probably more usable and easier to implement would be from collections.
What I need it to export many photos to different directories pretty often, and this would be great help since I could arrange them in collections and collection sets. Then select collection set and export it in a manner that collection set would be main export directory, and each collection within the set would be exported to its own folder within main collection set export folder.
This would be much appreciated feature in near future
Thank you for great product by the way

Archlinux Multilib Directory Structure?

Hello,
I was reading the Beginners' Guide for Arch Linux and I stumbled upon a sentence under Select an installation source which made me wonder. I have quoted it below:
"If you are installing 64-bit Arch, you may also want 'multilib'."
So I was wondering what exactly multilib was since the sentence implied it was optional. Following the multilib link didn't give me any explanation, but I found this article by redhat which explained the purpose of it. If I understood right, multilib makes it possible for me to use 32-bit applications on a 64-bit computer? If you can confirm, I will update the wiki to reflect my discoverings.
That redhat article also mentioned that the 32-bit libraries and the 64-bit libraries end up in folders and that this directory structure can vary. In the table below the redhat article showed the directory structures for the Debian Core and the Fedora Core.
(Source)
My question is: What directory structure does multilib use in Archlinux?
Thank you very much in advance!

You can find such things out on your own:
Click on "Packages" (on top of the site).
Filter for "multilib".
Click on a package named "lib32-*" (any will do).
Click on "Package Contents View the file list for lib32-*".
The package page is your friend! You can answer many many questions by simply looking up the package there. Also make sure you have a look at all the "Package Actions" on the right.

How to view the directory structure of JS sources in debugger?

I'm a web developer and want to use Firefox, but am used to using Chrome for debugging.
In Chrome debugging tool (hit F12 -> click 'sources' tab in top of the web dev window), you can clearly see the entire Javascript directory structure of the site you're visiting, and can collaps/expand directories nicely. How can I view the javacript directory structure in the Firefox debugging window? I can't do what I do without being able to easily navigate the filestructure of the website, but in the Firefox debugging window, all I can see is what appears to be javascript files in random order.
Thanks!
Josh

Hi Josh,
Thank you for your question. I understand that you would like to see the javascript directory structure in the Firefox debugging window. I am happy to help.
When you open Tools > Web Developer > Web Console and select the "Debugger", there are a list of js files loaded with the current viewed page.
Try [https://getfirebug.com/firstrun#Firebug%202.0.2 Firebug] its script tab has a hierarchy of js files.

What is the directory structure of EJB applications?

I am new to EJB program. I know that after the development is done, we package the EJB components into .jar file, and package the Web components (HTML/JSP/Servlets/JavaBeans) into .war file, and then together we package .jar file and .war file into a single .ear file. Then we just deploy the .ear file into WebLogic's application directory.
But, before the deployment, I mean during the development, what kind of directory structure is good for us to develop our EJB, HTML, JSP, Servlets, and JavaBean components?
Previously, when I was doing JSP/Servlets applications, my directoy structure is:
webapps\
--------myapplication\
-----------------------*.html
-----------------------images\
------------------------------*.jpeg, *.gif
-----------------------jsp\
------------------------------*.jsp
-----------------------WEB-INF\
------------------------------web.xml
------------------------------classes\
-------------------------------------Java Servlets located here
-------------------------------------beans\
-------------------------------------------JavaBeans are located here
Now, I am doing EJB applications, what should be the directory structure?
Thank you very much for your help!
Jingzhi

I have been involved in a few enterprise applications but have not been happy with the packaging structures used and am starting a new one now and am looking for other examples.
this is what I've used before.
web/
classes/
client/
server/
but if a class was used in the client and server it was put under the server/ package. I feel that more separation is needed.

Ant Directory structure.

Hi,
We are developing J2EE application that would contain number of components. Each component would be a ear file that would contain EJB jars and war which can be deployed in any J2EE compliant application server.
We are currently using Bedrock framework for applications deployed in Weblogic. It provides a very robust directory structure with most of the ant targets. However it is very custom for Weblogic.
Is there a similar framework that provides a robust directory structure (with built ant targets) which can be delopyed into Orion/Oracle Application Server.
If not, is there any standard directory structure for building J2EE applications? Any recommended source directory structure and why?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Directory Structures

Hi,
This is about the directory structures to use for development and
deployment under weblogic. By default, as you all know, weblogic comes with
a server called "myserver" whose directory strcuture has within it the
public_html, serverclasses, servletclasses and clientclasses directories,
with the jar files for the examples all residing in the myserver directory.
The general tendency for developers is to use simply use that very structure
as is. I think that may prove to be unwieldy during deployment (especially
when there will be multiple servers running on multiple machines, etc.) as
well as during development (integrating with source code control, etc.)
Here are my questions:
1) How have people weblogic developers organized their directory structures
for deployment? It seems to me that it would make sense to have a directory
structure that has at least a "lib" directory under which the jar files were
put, a "log" directory for log files, a "cert" directory for certificates,
etc.
2) In addition, is there an absloute need for the myserver directory to sit
under the weblogic tree? I would think it would make sense to not have the
deployment directory structures not tied to the weblogic installation's
location.
3) If there are multiple servers that will be deployed (each instantiating
its own set of services that are implemented as session and entity EJBs),
does one introduce an entire directory structure for each server or have a
common directory structure with each server having its own properties file ?
Currently, I have it setup so that each server that is introduced, e.g.,
pricing servers, fulfillment servers, etc. has its own properties file and
that the entire directory tree sits separate from the weblogic installation,
to facilitate tight integration with source code control. Having resolved
the regular issues that arise with the CLASSPATH, ClassCastExceptions, etc.,
we're up and running, but I have had a tough time convincing my developers
about the merits of deviating from the standard development tree stcucture.
Do people have any opinions about this, and are there any experiences they
can share with me? I'd be more than willing to to change course based on
others' experiences.
Sorry for the long-winded message.
TIA,
Prashanth

policy
file so Java 2 will let the server access your classes.

its own set of services that are implemented as session and entity EJBs),

about the merits of deviating from the standard development tree stcucture.The "standard" directory tree exists only for the purpose of running
the examples that are shipped with WLS. The WebLogic development
team does exactly what you propose to do, and for the reasons you
state: to keep our deployment configuration under source control in a
location that keeps it separate from the examples support in myserver
and to make it easy to re-install the server without disturbing our
configuration files. We routinely run WebLogic Server from a
configuration
that completely ignores the WEBLOGICHOME/myserver directory.
Do people have any opinions about this, and are there any experiences they
can share with me? I'd be more than willing to to change course based on
others' experiences.

OSX Directory Structure

Hi I'm doing a tidy-up of my drive prior to upgrading from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6 but I've come across something in the directory structure that I really don't understand and wondered if you guys could help.
Macintosh HD/ contains 4 folders
Applications
Library (58GB 126000 items - system R&W admin R&W everyone R only)
System
Users
Macintosh HD/system/ contains 1 folder
Library (4.5GB 111000 items - system R&W wheel R only everyone R only)
Macintosh HD/users/ contains 1 user (dydnapop - that's me) and a shared folder
dynapop
shared (empty)
Macintosh HD/users/dynapop contains 9 folders
desktop
documents
downloads
library (1.3GB 5000 items - dynapop(me) R&W everyone no access)
movies
music
pictures
public
sites
Is this structure right? 3 "library" folders of differing sizes and more to the point who/what is 'wheel' in the Macintosh HD/system/library/wheel directory to which I as dynapop (who is also admin) have no access?
Everything works fine but I'd like to understand/fix what's happen prior to up grading to 10.6.6
Many thanks for your help

MacOSX is a UNIX system with an enormous amount of complexity underneath - most of it hidden. You have peeked under the covers, so to speak. There are actually over a dozen users of your machine and several different groups, including wheel.
The different libraries all have a purpose:
/System/Library - For Apple's use only. Some poorly written 3rd party software uses it too.
/Library - For use by 3rd party software with privileged access
~/Library - Your home directory. For use by 3rd party software without privileged access
Over time (years), you will see /Library start to shrink. The new Mac App Store forbids applications from using it. They can only use ~/Library. The less that random, anonymous have privileged access to your machine, the better it will be.

Sub directory structure to Muse?

Please Adobe - when will you add a sub directory structure to Muse? The only workaround at the moment is to create separate discrete sites and ftp independently to the main site folder.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto creates a roll with the same name for any folder of image files that are imported into it. All you have to do is select your folders of source files and drag them into iPhoto's open window.
If you want to use iPhoto's alias feature you can keep your current source folders and drag them into a library that's setup to not copy the files into it but use alias files. The library works as a conventional library with the exception that if you delete a photo from the library it does not delete the source file. That must be done manually via the Finder. I've created some Tutorials to assist users to convert over to an alias based system or go to an iView based one.
I use iView as my primary image management and iPhoto's alias feature to create a library of the same source files. That way I have the best of both applications. Also, when using the alias method, the importing process is much faster. Good luck.

Best way to import a directory structure

I have been using iTunes on my new Mac to download stuff from the iTunes Store. I'd like to start using it to play music from my PC's archives.
iTunes seems to organize its display based on metadata in its own files, gleaned from the ID3 tags. It seems to ignore the directory and filename.
The organization method I've followed to this point on the PC is the exact opposite - all music is organized by directory and filename. ID3 tags are used in most cases, but they are not correct across the board. A slim majority are totally correct and ready for importation.
The library is about 10k songs large, so manual retagging is out of the question. Importing the directories as-is leads only to extreme frustration.
Can anyone recommend a utility for retagging files automatically based on directory and filename info?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Actually, that's exactly how iTunes does it.
Artist, Album, Song name are Artist directoy, Album directory, song name is filename.
True, that is how iTunes organizes music on the filesystem. My point is that iTunes keys its library database on ID3 tags, not pathname. In other words, I cannot organize my library by directory and filename. (With the intent of updating their tags, honest)
Unless my impression is wrong, I must tag all files correctly before adding them to iTunes, to prevent incorrectly named tracks in the library.
What are your directory and file names?
See this script -> Tags Mirror Artist-Album-Filename
"This script copies the names of the Artist folder, Album folder and filename of the selected tracks to each track's artist, album and song name tags, respectively. Your files and folders must be arranged in this format:
Artist folder:Album folder:filename.xxx"
Or this one...
Filenames to Song Names
This script will rename the selected tracks in iTunes with their filenames (minus the extension)."
This is great stuff. Thank you for pointing me at this site. I'm sure I will need to roll my own script as my directory structure is different than what these scripts appear to address. Ah well, it's a good opportunity to learn AppleScript.
Fwiw, generally my convention has been:
[MusicRoot]/Genre/Artist - TrackName.ext (for one-off tracks)
[MusicRoot]/Genre/Artist - Album/Artist - Album - TrackNum - TrackName.ext
[MusicRoot]/Compilations/Album/Album - TrackNum - Artist - TrackName.ext
Thank you!
