Server Information
This section lists the directives in magnus.conf that specify information about the server, which are:
Server Name Directive
Specifies the server name.
Server ID Directive
Specifies the server ID.
User Directive
Windows: The User directive specifies the user account the server runs with. By using a specific user account other than LocalSystem, you can restrict or enable system features for the server. For example, you can use a user account that can mount files from another machine.
UNIX: The User directive specifies the UNIX user account for the server. If the server is started by the superuser or root user, the server binds to the port you specify and then switches its user ID to the user account specified with the User directive. This directive is ignored if the server isn’t started as root. The user account you specify should have read permission to the server’s root and subdirectories. The user account should have write access to the logs directory and execute permissions to any CGI programs. The user account should not have write access to the configuration files. This restriction ensures that in the unlikely event that someone compromises the server, that person will not be able to change configuration files and gain broader access to your machine. Specifying the nobody user is not recommended.
Syntax
User name
name is the login name for the UNIX user account, which can be a maximum of eight characters long.
Default
If there is no User directive, the server runs with the user account it was started with.
Examples
User http
User server
User nobody
NetsiteRoot
Specifies the server root. This directive is set during installation and is commented out. Unlike other directives, the server expects this directive to start with #. Do not change this directive.
Syntax
#NetsiteRoot path
Example
#ServerRoot <install-root>/<instance-directory>
