- install_dir refers to /usr/appserver/, which contains the static portion of the installation image. All utilities, executable files, and libraries that make up the application server reside in this location.
- default_config_dir refers to /var/appserver/domains, which is the default location for any domains that are created.
- install_config_dir refers to /etc/appserver/, which contains installation-wide configuration information such as licenses and the master list of administrative domains configured for this installation.
- For Solaris 8 and 9 package-based, unbundled installations, this guide uses the following document conventions to correspond to the various default installation directories provided:
