Root Web Directory |
This value represents the full server path to the web server's document root directory (e.g. /home/user/public_html/). This is not necessarily the path to the directory Blesta is installed under. This setting is used when the web server cannot provide the path to your Blesta installation, such as when the cron is run via CLI. This typically occurs for URLs constructed for emails that are sent by cron via CLI. The path to the document root directory may vary depending on your web server configuration. In most cases, generally speaking, any directories in the absolute path to your Blesta installation that do not appear in the URL should be included in your Root Web Directory setting. Consider the following examples:
| ||||||
Temp Directory | The full server path where Blesta should write temporary files. This directory must be writable by the server's web user and cron user. | |||||
Uploads Directory | The full server path where Blesta should write uploaded files. This directory must be writable by the server's web user and cron user. | |||||
Logs Directory | The full server path where Blesta should write log files. This directory must be writable by the server's web user and cron user. | |||||
Rotation Policy | The number of days to retain logs.
