8. For server root or destination directory, enter a full path to the location where
you want to install your server.
The location that you enter must be some directory other than the directory
from which you are running the setup program. Also, the name of the
directory where you install files must not contain any space characters. If the
directory that you specify does not exist, the
setup program creates it for you.
9. UNIX only. For the user and group to run the servers as, enter the identity that
you want this server to run as. For more information on the user and groups
that you should use when running Netscape servers, see “Deciding the User
and Group for Your Netscape Servers (UNIX only),” on page 14.
10. For Configuration Directory Administrator ID and password, enter the name
and password that you will log in as when you want to authenticate to the

The server is then unpackaged, mini mally configured, and started. You are told
what host and port number on which the is listening.
Note the following about your new Directory Server installation:
• The Directory Server is listening on port 389.
• The server is configured to use the following suffixes:
❍ dc=your_machine’s_DNS_domain_name
That is, if your machine is named
test.example.com, then you will have
the suffix
dc=example,dc=com configured for this server.
