# server/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory holds files used by and configuring the Evennia server
|
||
|
|
itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Out of all the subdirectories in the game directory, Evennia does
|
||
|
|
expect this directory to exist, so you should normally not delete,
|
||
|
|
rename or change its folder structure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When running you will find four new files appear in this directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `server.pid` and `portal.pid`: These hold the process IDs of the
|
||
|
|
Portal and Server, so that they can be managed by the launcher. If
|
||
|
|
Evennia is shut down uncleanly (e.g. by a crash or via a kill
|
||
|
|
signal), these files might erroneously remain behind. If so Evennia
|
||
|
|
will tell you they are "stale" and they can be deleted manually.
|
||
|
|
- `server.restart` and `portal.restart`: These hold flags to tell the
|
||
|
|
server processes if it should die or start again. You never need to
|
||
|
|
modify those files.
|
||
|
|
- `evennia.db3`: This will only appear if you are using the default
|
||
|
|
SQLite3 database; it a binary file that holds the entire game
|
||
|
|
database; deleting this file will effectively reset the game for
|
||
|
|
you and you can start fresh with `evennia migrate` (useful during
|
||
|
|
development).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## server/conf/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This subdirectory holds the configuration modules for the server. With
|
||
|
|
them you can change how Evennia operates and also plug in your own
|
||
|
|
functionality to replace the default. You usually need to restart the
|
||
|
|
server to apply changes done here. The most important file is the file
|
||
|
|
`settings.py` which is the main configuration file of Evennia.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## server/logs/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This subdirectory holds various log files created by the running
|
||
|
|
Evennia server. It is also the default location for storing any custom
|
||
|
|
log files you might want to output using Evennia's logging mechanisms.
