When the testapp archive is decompressed , you get the following directories :

testapp/          application directory
    modules/      modules of the application
    responses/    common responses for the application
    plugins/      plugins of the application
    var/          contain all the files created or that can be modified by Jelix during execution
       config/    configuration files of the application
       log/       log files of jelix and of the application
    www/          root of the site of the application (document root)

Copy this directory in the mysite/ directory. You then have:

  mysite/
     lib/
     temp/ 
     testapp/

The tree structure of the sources is by default organized in order to install the application on a server on which you can specify the public root directory of the site (document root). This directory is mysite/testapp/www .

You will of course be able to change the place of these directories if, for example, you cannot change the document root. We will see how to do this further.

You will notice that the files of the application and those of the framework are separated. This way, you can share the lib directory with several applications.

In testapp/var/config, you have *.dist files. Rename them by removing this '.dist' suffix. You have certainly some things to modify in this new files, like database configuration in dbprofils.ini etc.

Create the mysite/temp/testapp directory. Perhaps your application contains different *.init.php files, similar to the application.init.php, but declaring differents temporary folders. So create the corresponding folders.
