This section describes the types of conventions used throughout this guide.
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.
