By default, FishEye will run a self-contained instance directory within the <FishEye home directory> – the directory where you unzip the package. The FishEye instance directory is where your FishEye data is stored. 

For a production environment, you should not locate your FishEye instance directory inside the  <FishEye home directory> — they should be entirely separate locations. If you do put the  instance directory in the  <FishEye home directory> it will be overwritten, and lost, when FishEye gets upgraded. And by the way, you'll need separate FishEye instance directories if you want to run multiple copies of FishEye. 

You should create your FishEye instance directory, and then tell FishEye where you created it by setting a FISHEYE_INST  environment variable. See Installing FishEye on Windows and Installing FishEye on Linux and Mac for information about setting the FISHEYE_INST  environment variable.

Furthermore, we recommend that the instance directory be secured against unauthorised access.

Default FishEye folder layout

The default FishEye folder layout includes the FishEye instance data inside the  <FishEye home directory>. This layout is not recommended for production environments.

<FishEye home directory>/config.xml

Configuration file.

<FishEye home directory>/var/

Directory under which FishEye stores its data.

<FishEye home directory>/var/data/

Persistent data.

<FishEye home directory>/var/cache/

Caches and indexes.

<FishEye home directory>/var/log/

Log files.

<FishEye home directory>/var/tmp/

Temporary files.

<FishEye home directory>/cache/

Caches and indexes. (and also in FISHEYE_HOME/var/cache)

<FishEye home directory>/bin/

Scripts for controling FishEye.

<FishEye home directory>/lib/

FishEye's dependent libraries.

<FishEye home directory>/syntax/

Syntax highlighting definitions.

<FishEye home directory>/ ...

Remainder omitted for brevity.

 

Recommended FishEye folder layout

The FishEye folder layout that we recommend for production environments has the FishEye instance directory, which contains your instance data and is defined by FISHEYE_INST, in a completely separate location from the <FishEye home directory>, which is the install location.

$FISHEYE_INST/config.xml

Configuration file.

$FISHEYE_INST/var/

All persistent and most temporary data.

$FISHEYE_INST/cache/

Caches and indexes(and also in $FISHEYE_INST/var/cache)

$FISHEYE_INST/lib/

Site-specific Java libraries (.jars) that FishEye should load on startup. (Do not copy the dependent <FishEye home directory>/lib/ files into here.)

$FISHEYE_INST/syntax/

Site-specific syntax highlighting definitions.

$FISHEYE_INST/system.properties

Used for setting system properties within the FishEye JVM, which may sometimes be useful for support purposes. (Note: the other way to set properties is using FISHEYE_OPTS, e.g.: export FISHEYE_OPTS=-Dpropname=value )

<FishEye home directory>/lib/

FishEye's dependent libraries.

<FishEye home directory>/syntax/

FishEye bundled highlighting definitions.

<FishEye home directory>/bin/

 

<FishEye home directory>/ ...

Remaining files are found under <FishEye home directory>/.
