Label and State File Parameter 

Description 

Server Name

WS_SERVER_NAME

A host and domain value that resolves to the local host. This value is used to create a directory under server root for the first Web Server instance. 

The default value is automatically created by joining the values that you provided for Host Name and DNS Domain Name under Common Server Settings. The value has the format hostname.domainname.

HTTP Port

WS_HTTP_PORT

Port on which Web Server instance listens for HTTP connections. 

The default value is 80.

Runtime UNIX User ID 

WS_SERVER_USER

An existing non–root user. If you are installing Access Manager or Portal Server, set this value to root and set the Runtime Group to other . You can change these values after installation. For other servers, the Runtime User ID should be a non-root user.

Note: If you are using Web Server as the web container, the Web Server runtime instance value must be set to root.

The default value is webservd

Document Root Directory

WS_DOCROOT

Location where Web Server stores content documents. 

To use a non-default value, ensure that the directory that you specify is already present in the file system. The installer does not create the directory for you.  

The default value is: 

Solaris OS: /var/opt/SUNWwbsvr7/https-hostname.domain/docs

Linux : /var/opt/sun/webserver7/https-hostname.domain/docs
