9 If cubicweb is a mercurial checkout (eg `CWDEV` is true), located in |
9 .. _ResourceMode: |
10 `CW_SOFTWARE_ROOT`: |
10 |
11 |
11 Resource mode |
12 * main cubes directory is `<CW_SOFTWARE_ROOT>/../cubes`. You can specify |
12 ------------- |
13 another one with `CW_INSTANCES_DIR` environment variable or simply add some |
13 |
14 other directories by using `CW_CUBES_PATH`. |
14 A resource *mode* is a predifined set of settings for various resources |
15 |
15 directories, such as cubes, instances, etc. to ease development with the |
16 * cubicweb migration files are by default searched in |
16 framework. There are two running modes with |cubicweb|: |
17 `<CW_SOFTWARE_ROOT>/misc/migration` instead of |
17 |
18 `<install prefix>/share/cubicweb/migration/` |
18 * 'user', resources are searched / created in the user home directory: |
19 |
19 |
20 * Cubicweb will start in 'user' mode (see below) |
20 - instances are stored in :file:`~/etc/cubicweb.d` |
21 |
21 - temporary files (such as pid file) in :file:`/tmp` |
22 |
22 |
23 On startup, Cubicweb is using a specific *mode*. A mode corresponds to some |
23 * 'system', resources are searched / created in the system directories (eg |
24 default setting for various resource directories. There are currently 2 main |
24 usually requiring root access): |
25 modes : 'system', for system wide installation, and 'user', fur user local |
25 |
26 installation (e.g. no root privileges). |
26 - instances are stored in :file:`<INSTALL_PREFIX>/etc/cubicweb.d` |
27 |
27 - temporary files (such as pid file) in :file:`/var/run/cubicweb` |
28 'user' mode is activated automatically when cubicweb is a mercurial checkout |
28 |
29 (e.g. has a .hg directory). You can also force mode by using the `CW_MODE` |
29 where `<INSTALL_PREFIX>` is the detected installation prefix ('/usr/local' for |
30 environment variable, to: |
30 instance). |
31 |
31 |
32 * use system wide installation but user specific instances and all, without root |
32 |
33 privileges on the system (`export CW_MODE=user`) |
33 Notice that each resource path may be explicitly set using an environment |
34 |
34 variable if the default doesn't suit your needs. Here are the default resource |
35 * use local checkout of cubicweb on system wide instances (requires root |
35 directories that are affected according to mode: |
36 privileges on the system (`export CW_MODE=system`) |
|
37 |
|
38 Here is the default resource directories settings according to mode: |
|
39 |
36 |
40 * 'system': :: |
37 * 'system': :: |
41 |
38 |
42 CW_INSTANCES_DIR = /etc/cubicweb.d/ |
39 CW_INSTANCES_DIR = <INSTALL_PREFIX>/etc/cubicweb.d/ |
43 CW_INSTANCES_DATA_DIR = /var/lib/cubicweb/instances/ |
40 CW_INSTANCES_DATA_DIR = /var/lib/cubicweb/instances/ |
44 CW_RUNTIME_DIR = /var/run/cubicweb/ |
41 CW_RUNTIME_DIR = /var/run/cubicweb/ |
45 |

49 CW_INSTANCES_DATA_DIR = ~/etc/cubicweb.d/ |
46 CW_INSTANCES_DATA_DIR = ~/etc/cubicweb.d/ |
50 CW_RUNTIME_DIR = /tmp |
47 CW_RUNTIME_DIR = /tmp |
51 |
48 |
|
49 Cubes search path is also affected, see the :ref:Cube section. |
|
50 |
|
51 By default, the mode automatically set to 'user' if a :file:`.hg` directory is found |
|
52 in the cubicweb package, else it's set to 'system'. You can force this by setting |
|
53 the :envvar:`CW_MODE` environment variable to either 'user' or 'system' so you can |
|
54 easily: |
|
55 |
|
56 * use system wide installation but user specific instances and all, without root |
|
57 privileges on the system (`export CW_MODE=user`) |
|
58 |
|
59 * use local checkout of cubicweb on system wide instances (requires root |
|
60 privileges on the system (`export CW_MODE=system`) |
|
61 |
|
62 If you've a doubt about the mode you're currently running, check the first line |
|
63 outputed by the :command:`cubicweb-ctl list` command. |
|
64 |
|
65 Also, if cubicweb is a mercurial checkout located in `<CW_SOFTWARE_ROOT>`: |
|
66 |
|
67 * main cubes directory is `<CW_SOFTWARE_ROOT>/../cubes`. You can specify |
|
68 another one with :envvar:`CW_INSTANCES_DIR` environment variable or simply |
|
69 add some other directories by using :envvar:`CW_CUBES_PATH` |
|
70 |
|
71 * cubicweb migration files are searched in `<CW_SOFTWARE_ROOT>/misc/migration` |
|
72 instead of `<INSTALL_PREFIX>/share/cubicweb/migration/`. |

|
83 If you installed |cubicweb| by cloning the Mercurial forest or from source |
|
84 distribution, then you will need to update the environment variable PYTHONPATH by |
|
85 adding the path to the forest `cubicweb`: |
|
86 |
|
87 Add the following lines to either :file:`.bashrc` or :file:`.bash_profile` to |
|
88 configure your development environment :: |
|
89 |
|
90 export PYTHONPATH=/full/path/to/cubicweb-forest |
|
91 |
|
92 If you installed |cubicweb| with packages, no configuration is required and your |
|
93 new cubes will be placed in `/usr/share/cubicweb/cubes` and your instances will |
|
94 be placed in `/etc/cubicweb.d`. |
