General question about files and C5 directory

Permalink
Hello,

I am trying to figure out exactly where pages are stored in the filing system when they are created. I tried looking through the directory but found nothing. Looked at the site map XML file, and found this listed as a <loc> which I assume is location:
http://www.motor-pro.com/concrete5.4.0.5/index.php/about/...

How do I get to that, given the: "/index.php/about/" part??

Thank you,

-- Andrey

P.S. I apologize if the question reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of how C5 works -- I am new to this stuff (Web Dev in general, and CMSs in particular). Is there some sort of primer on the general structure and 'theory' behind the construction/programming of C5?

Concrete5 does not use "pages" like that, basically its one file, the index.php, depending on what comes after that (like /about) it looks into the Database and gathers information and displays it

Thanks, that makes sense -- though it is difficult to wrap my head around this! So you are saying that if I add a content block with some formatted text, all that text, as well as its formatting info, is placed into a DB?

And if I make a layout out of a block with a few columns, the width/location of those columns is stored in a DB also?

This DB must have many many tables...
