This documents the contents of the $LJHOME development folder as checked out by bootstrap.pl and present on all Dreamhacks.
Contents
bin
This directory contains backend utilities for maintaining and upgrading the site.
cgi-bin
This directory contains the code libraries that run the site. This is the base of the library path--that is use Net::OpenID::Consumer; refers to the code in cgi-bin/Net/OpenID/Consumer.pm. It contains all the custom Perl libraries and functions that the code references including the LJ::* and DW::* libraries. Code in *.pl files in this directory are also library files but in an older style (bug 1726 refers to these updates).
cvs
The cvs folder contains a local checkout of the Mercurial repositories. Information about use of these repositories can be found in the [Developers' Initial Programming Notes].
The two Mercurial source branches you'll be using most often are dw-free dw-free and dw-nonfree dw-nonfree. (When viewing the Mercurial page for each repo, the 'Manifest' link in the top menu bar will allow you to browse the source tree.)
doc
Most notable thing in here is source for the old and very much out of date docbook code for the server (LJ's is visible at http://livejournal.com/doc/server/ but Dreamwidth has not generated a visible copy), and LJ programming guides.
etc
Empty in a clean checkout. Used to store various configuration files. Your site's ljconfig.pl will go here, to make sure the original ljconfig.pl can be updated without ill effects on a running installation.
htdocs
This directory contains the user-facing BML pages, with the directory structure used on the main website. That is to say, anything that appears at http://www.dreamwidth.org/filename.bml will be here, as htdocs/filename.bml; anything at http://www.dreamwidth.org/directory/filename.bml will be here as htdocs/directory/filename.bml, etc.
logs
Looks to be an empty folder to store logs during running the code.
schemes
The Template Toolkit (*.tt) files for generating the site schemes used on Dreamwidth.
src
Confusingly enough, contains source for some of the packages the code uses. Perhaps this is the folder that comes with the distribution and cvs is checked out from the other repositories? Does not contain all of the ones in cvs though.
ssldocs
This contains pages that are transmitted over SSL instead of being unencrypted. Regular files live in htdocs.
t
This directory contains the tests that use the testing framework in main/test. See Dev Testing for how to use them.
temp
Empty in a clean install. Probably used for temporary file storage.
test
Very sparse directory; really not much here.
views
This contains Template Toolkit files, as part of our conversion from BML to Template Toolkit. The controllers for the templates are in cgi-bin/DW/Controller/.
