Where to look at what was installed

Your installation is actually completed. That was it. But now what?

Well, first we are going to look at the folders and files that were installed. If you right click on the Windows Start button on your PC, then left click on Explore, Windows Explorer will open.

Navigate to  the drive and path you noted earlier during the installation. It will most likely be C:\Program Files\Plone 2\

Under Plone 2, four main subfolders were created. The Data subfolder is the one you will most want to be aware of later. If you are curious about where your websites will be stored, including skins, content, pages, users, etc, look under the var folder as I did above.

The Data.fs is the single file that stores everything we will be working on through all the following steps in the site. It is called the ZODB or Zope Data Base. If you back up this single file, you pretty much get all things that make your site unique.
