In case it helps anyone who is maybe a bit unsure of the exact procedure, I've written very comprehensive instructions (with several screen shots) and links to download a custom starttwonky.sh file which checks for (and if not present, automatically creates) the new directories for the database and cache, as well as moving the log file, then also creates the required symlinks.
