Chapter 7, Configuring Server Preferences 167
Configuring Network Settings
The content settings displayed in the View Server Settings page depend on how
you’ve configured your server. Common server content settings include the
server’s document directory, its index filenames, name and location of its access
log, and default MIME type.
Configuring Network Settings
You can change the following network settings on your server: server user,
server name, server port, bind to address, and MTA host.
Changing the Server’s Location (Unix)
For various reasons, you might move the server from one directory to another.
If you move the server, you must change the location the server references—it
needs to know where the binary files are. After changing the location, you must
shut down the server and copy the server files and subdirectories to a new
location.
To change the server’s location edit the Server Location field in the Network
Settings page in the Enterprise Administration Server.
Changing the Server’s User Account
(Unix)
The server user specifies a Unix user account that the server uses. All the
server’s processes run as this user.
You do not need to specify a server user if you chose a port number greater
than 1024 and are not running as the
root
user (in this case, you do not need
to be logged on as
root
to start the server). If you do not specify a user
account here, the server runs with the user account you start it with. Make sure
that when you start the server, you use the correct user account.
Note
If you do not know how to create a new user on your system, contact your
system administrator or consult your system documentation.
