Configuring Service Registry for a Non-Default Application Server Installation

The default location for installing Application Server is /opt/SUNWappserver/appserver on Solaris OS and /opt/sun/appserver on Linux and HP-UX systems. If you installed Application Server in a different location, you must edit a copy of the file install.properties before you configure Service Registry.

To Edit a Copy of the install.properties File

1. Change to the ServiceRegistry-base/install directory.

2. Copy the file install.properties to a secure location and rename it.

   Use a command like the following:

   cp install.properties $HOME/hidden_dir/sr.properties

3. Change the permissions on the properties file to make it writable.

   Use a command like the following:

   chmod 600 $HOME/hidden_dir/sr.properties

4. Open the file in a text editor.

5. Find the commented-out definition of the property appserver.root.dir.

6. Remove the comment character (#) and replace the property definition with the actual location of Application Server.

7. Save and close the file.
