Hi Bram, I am talking about BaseX users. By default, you are an admin user (see [1] and related pages for more information). Cheers, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/User_Management On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 3:18 PM, Bram Vanroy <bram.vanroy1@student.kuleuven.be> wrote:

Hi Christian

Do you mean a basex admin, a sys admin, or something else?

Thanks

Hi Bram,

Users with admin permissions can request the database path via "db:system()//dbpath".

Hope this helps, Christian

Hi List

In a .basex file we can set the destination of our database. If we then create a server, and create a database using a client, the BaseX-files will be created in that directory. Is it possible to get the path to this directory from within the client? In Perl I tried running the following command after looking through the basex client, but I got an ‘undef’:

my $session = Session->new($host, $port, $user, $pw);

my $t = $session->info;

$session->close;

print $t;

Any ideas how to get the configuration values for a basex server from a (Perl) client?

Thank you

Bram
