FILES

The following files are used by the command-line utilities:

site_path/conf/access.conf

A web site's Access Control Lists (ACLs) configuration file.

/etc/http/access.conf

The server administration ACLs configuration file.

site_path/conf/access.conf

A web site's ACLs configuration file.

/etc/http/access.conf

Defines the realms used to define users and groups for server administration.

site_path/conf/content.conf

Defines the content variants, encoding types, and directory preferences for a web site.

/etc/http/httpd-instances.httpd.conf

Tracks all Sun WebServer instances. When htserver creates a new server instance, an entry is added to this file.

site_path/conf/site_name.httpd.conf

Contains the web site servlet engine configuration if the servlet engine is not shared.

/etc/http/instance_name.httpd.conf

The server instance configuration file. When hthost adds a new site, it creates an entry in httpd.conf to define the site_path and web site configuration file.

site_path/conf/site_name.site.conf

The web site configuration file.

/etc/http/instance_namehttpd.conf

Contains the server instance servlet engine configuration if all web sites share the servlet engine.

site_path/conf/map.conf

Creates an alias to a path on the file system or a redirection to a remote URL from a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) on the host.

site_path/conf/realms.conf

Defines realms of user and group information used by access control lists on a Sun WebServer web site.

site_path/conf/servlets.properties

Defines each servlet that can be loaded by a web site.

NOTES

access.conf

Defines ACLs for the content hosted by a web site. ACLs regulate access to resources on the site by defining which users, groups, and/or hosts have permissions to make HTTP GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE requests.

content.conf

Represents meta-data for directories, site preferences for languages, media and encoding types, and specifying variants for content.

httpd-instances.conf

Associates each unique httpd process (or server instance) with its configuration file, and defines whether or not a server instance is enabled.

httpd.cgi.logs

Logs errors generated by CGI scripts. Log files will be named prefix.sequence, where sequence is a cycling number.

httpd.conf

The server instance configuration file contains directives that define the server's runtime behavior, the web sites it hosts, and the network connection end points it uses.

httpd.event.logs

The server events log files. The httpd server puts out error messages and warnings via syslogd to /var/adm/messages by default.

httpd.request.logs

Logs all incoming requests to a server activity log file. Sun WebServer generates log files using one of three log file formats configurable by the administrator.

httpd.servlet.logs

Logs errors generated by servlets. Log files will be named prefix.sequence, where sequence is a cycling number.

httpd.site.conf

The sites instance configuration file contains directives that define the site's runtime behavior, and defines the identity and server resources used by a web site hosted by the server instance. This file defines properties such as the web site's canonical host name and aliases, the location of the configuration files, and the network connections available to the web site, and defines the servlet engine settings for the web site.

map.conf

A map directive allows you to redirect requests for a URL on a host to any other URL or to a different directory.

realms.conf

Defines realms of user and group information used by access control lists on a Sun WebServer web site. A realm defines a protection space, a domain of users and groups and their permissions.

servlets.properties

Defines the servlet properties file in a general Java properties file format. The file contains the name of each servlet and the initialization parameters of the servlet.
