General Conventions

The following general conventions are used in this guide:

• File and directory paths are given in UNIX® format (with forward slashes separating directory names). For Windows versions, the directory paths are the same, except that backslashes are used to separate directories.

• Installation root directories for most platforms are indicated by install-dir in this document.

  By default, the location of install-dir on most platforms is:

  • Solaris bundled version:

    /usr/appserver

  • Other Solaris and Redhat Linux installations, non-root user:

    user’s-home-directory/SUNWappserver

  • Other Solaris and Redhat Linux installations, root user:

    /opt/SUNWappserver

  • Ubuntu Linux Users:

    /usr/share/sunappserver

  • Windows, all installations:

    SystemDrive:\\Sun\\AppServer

• Domain root directory are indicated by domain-root-dir in this document, which by default is an abbreviation for the following:

  • Solaris bundled version:

    /var/appserver/domains/

  • Ubuntu Linux version:

    /var/lib/sunappserver/domains

  • Ubuntu Linux version, when using asadmin convenience script:

    /user's-home-directory/glassfish/domains

  • All other versions:

    install-dir/domains/

  However, for Solaris bundled installations, the directory containing all the domains can be changed to another directory during installation.
