A Understanding the Oracle HTTP Server Directory Structures

This appendix describes the directory structure that will be created on your system at the end of your Oracle HTTP Server installation and domain configuration.

This appendix contains the following sections:

A.1 Understanding the Oracle HTTP Server Directory Structure in a WebLogic Server Domain

Figure A-1 shows an example of the basic directory structure after installation and domain configuration of Oracle HTTP Server, in a WebLogic Server domain, is complete. Note that figure shows only important directories. There are other directories and files created too.

This example shows the recommended directory structure, as described in "Understanding the Recommended Directory Structure" in Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware. Your directory structure may differ slightly based on where you choose to create these directories on your system.

Table A-1 Directory Description for Oracle HTTP Server in a WebLogic Server Domain

Directory or file Description

coherence

This directory contains the Coherence product files.

install

This directory contains install-related files and scripts.

inventory

This directory contains information about the components, feature sets, and patches installed in this Oracle home directory.

ohs

This directory contains the Oracle HTTP Server binaries.

OPatch

This directory contains OPatch and supported files. OPatch is a tool used to patch Oracle Fusion Middleware software.

em

This is the Fusion Middleware Control Product folder.

oracle_common

This directory contains the binary and library files required for Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, Java Required Files (JRF), and Oracle HTTP Server.

orainst.loc

This Linux-only text file contains the location of your Oracle inventory, and also the group ID of the user creating the inventory. This does not exist on a Windows installation.

oui

This directory contains files used by the Oracle Universal Installer, including the deinstallation program. If you need to run the Oracle Universal Installer again after the product is installed, you should do so from this directory.

webgate

This directory contains the Oracle HTTP Server Webgate binaries for Oracle Access Manager (OAM).

wlserver

This directory contains the WebLogic Server product files.

This directory is also referred to as the WebLogic home directory, or WL_HOME.

logs

This directory contains the log files generated during domain creation.

domain-registry.xml

This registry file contains the location of all domains currently registered with this WebLogic Server installation. Whenever you add a new domain, it is registered in this file.


A.2 Understanding the Oracle HTTP Server Directory Structure in a Standalone Domain

Figure A-2 shows an example of the basic directory structure after installation and domain configuration of Oracle HTTP Server, in a standalone domain, is complete. Note that figure shows only important directories. There are other directories and files created too.

This example shows the recommended directory structure, as described in "Understanding the Recommended Directory Structure" in Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware. Your directory structure may differ slightly based on where you choose to create these directories on your system.

This directory contains a small portion of webLogic Server binaries that are used for management functionality.

This directory is also referred to as the WebLogic home directory, or WL_HOME.

logs

This directory contains the log files generated during domain creation.

domain-registry.xml

This registry file contains the location of all domains currently registered with this WebLogic Server installation. Whenever you add a new domain, it is registered in this file.
