Changes

 BaseX uses three maintains some configuration files, which are stored in the project’s [[#Home Directory|Home Directory]](note that, depending on your OS and configuration, files and folders with a '.' prefix may be hidden):

* <code>.basexpermbasexhistory</code> contains commands that have been typed in most recently.* <code>.basexhome</code> can be created by a user name, passwords, and permissions (see to mark a folder as [[#User and Log FilesHome Directory|last paragraphhome directory]]).Its contents do not matter, so it is usually empty. Note that: * Depending on your OS and configuration, files and folders with a '.' prefix may be hidden.* In the [[Web Application]] context, options can be defined in the <code>web.basexeventsxml</code> contains all existing events (see [[Events]])file.

As BaseX is distributed in different flavors, and may be started from different locations, it dynamically determines its home directory: * First, the '''Java system property''' {{Code|org.basex.path}} is checked. If it contains a value, it is chosen as directory path.* If not, the '''current user directory''' (defined by the system property {{Code|user.dir}}) is chosen if the {{Code|.basex}} or {{Code|.basexhome}} file is found in this directory. * If not, the '''application directory''' (the folder in which BaseX is located) is chosen if one of these two files is found.* In all other cases, a {{Code|basex}} subdirectory in the '''user home directory''' will be returned. The user home directory is retrieved via the {{Code|HOME}} environment variable, or (if unassigned), from the Java system property {{Code|user.home}}.

* First, the '''system property''' {{mono|"org.basex.path"}} If BaseX is checked. If it contains used in an embedded environment (such as a servlet in a value[[Web Application]]), it is chosen as directory path.* If may not, the '''current user immediately be clear what directory''' (defined by the system property {{mono|"userwas chosen.dir"}}) is chosen if You can run the XQuery expression <code>Q{{mono|org.basex}} configuration file is found in this directory. * Otherwise, the configuration file is searched in the '''application directory''' (the folder in which the project is located). * In all other cases, the '''user's home directory''' (defined in {{mono|"userutil.home"}Prop}HOMEDIR() is chosen</code> to find out.

A database in BaseX [[Databases]] consists of several binary files, which . These are all bundled located in a folder with directory named by the name of the database name.By default, all of these files are stored in a The database root directory in the home directory, which is named<code>BaseXData</code>. If you use the Windows installer, this directory will be named <code>{{Code|data</code>,and reside in the application directory}}.

*[[GUI Tutorial|GUI]]: Choose ''Options'' → ''Preferences'' and choose a new database path.*[[Server TutorialGeneral: edit the {{Option|Server]]/[[Standalone TutorialDBPATH}} option in the {{Code|Standalone]].basex}} configuration file '''Note: ''' Existing databases will not automatically be moved to the new destination. ==Log Files== Log files are stored in text format in a <code>SET DBPATH [path].logs</code>sub-directory of the database folder (see [[Logging]] for more information). =Changelog= ;Version 9.0 * Updated: Detection and configuration of home directory and subdirectories. ;Version 8.0

Note* Updated: After having changed {{Code|.basexperm}} is obsolete. Users are now stored in {{Code|users.xml}} in the database path, all existing databases have to be manually moved to the new locationdirectory (see [[User Management]] for more information).

==User and Log Files==Global users, along with their passwords and permissions, are stored in the <code>.basexperm</code> file in the [[#Home Directory|home directory]]. Local users and permissions are stored inside the database files.Log files are stored in text format in the home directory <code>BaseXData/.logs</code> (see [[Logging]] for more information);Version 7.7

* Updated: The {{Code|.basexhome}} file marks a folder as [[Category: Internals#Home Directory|home directory]].
