==Home directoryDirectory==
As BaseX is a portable application it searches for the location of the home directory by itself.<br />
*Application directory: This directory is chosen if configuration files of BaseX are found in the application directory. This is especially for people using the windows installer of BaseX.
==Database directoryDirectory==
A database in BaseX consists of several files, which are all bundled in a folder with the database name.<br />
Note: After having changed the database path, all existing databases have to be manually moved to the new location.
==Configuration filesFiles==
BaseX uses three configuration files, which are stored in the [[Configuration Files#Home directory|Home directory]]:
By default, all files stored in the home directory. They can be placed in the application directory as well.
==User and log filesLog Files==
The global users are stored in the <code>.basexperm</code> file in the home directory as the configuration files. Local users and permissions are stored in the meta data of the database, so they don't need an extra file. <br />
All log files are stored in text format in the home directory <code>BaseXData/.logs</code>.
