Base locations

These settings control the base directory structure of the generated Zope instance.

Setting	Default
target	instance
location_clienthome	{{ cookiecutter.target }}/var

target – The target directory name of the cookiecutter generated configuration. This is also the so called INSTANCEHOME. Attention: this is relative to the current directory or to cookiecutter command line options if given (-o PATH or --output-dir PATH).

location_clienthome – Zope’s clienthome directory is where by default all writable files are written, such as the database with blobs, logs, PID file, etc. This is the only place where the user of the WSGI process needs write access. Traditionally this is the var directory of the instancehome.
