Server Side Directory Structure

Directory Structure (server-side)

If you have ever taken a look at the contents of our repository, you will have noticed the following filesystem structure:

website
|
|- lib
|  |- db.js
|  |- session.js
|  |- db.json
|  |- sessions.json
|- public
|  |- ...
|- res
|  |- maps
|  |  |- conf.json

|  |  |- ...
|- server.js
|- server.log

Note that some of the files listed above are not actually included in the repository, since they are either config- or log-files.
