Chapter 1, Introduction to Enterprise Server 41
How Enterprise Server is Configured
For more information about the actual file syntax and the specific directives
used by the
obj.conf
and
magnus.conf
configuration files, see the NSAPI
Programmer’s Guide for Enterprise Server 4.0.
mime.types
: the MIME (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extension) type
configuration file. This file maps file extensions to MIME types, to enable the
server to determine the type of content being requested. For example, requests
for resources with .
html
extensions indicate that the client is requesting an
HTML file, while requests for resources with
.gif
extensions indicate that the
client is requesting an image file in GIF format. For more information, see
“Specifying a Default MIME Type,” on page 317 in Chapter 13, “Managing
Server Content.” Note that you must restart the server every time you make
changes to this file.
admpw
: the username and password file for the Enterprise Administrator Server
superuser. For more information, see “Changing the Superuser Settings,” on
page 70 in Chapter 3, “Setting Administration Preferences.”
Single-Server Configuration
If you have installed Enterprise Server on a single server, the installation
process places all the files under the server root directory that you specified
during installation.
All Platforms
For all platforms, the following directories are created under the server root
directory:
•
alias
contains the key and certificate files for all Netscape servers.
•
bin
contains the binary files for the server, such as the actual server, the
Enterprise Administration Server forms, and so on. In addition, this directory
includes the following subdirectories:
•
https/install
contains files needed for migrating server settings
and default configuration files needed for backward compatibility.
