Installation guide

Chapter 7. General Usage Information
This chapter contains common information that you will use after installing Red Hat Directory Server 8.0,
such as where files are installed; how to start the Directory Server, Administration Server, and Directory
Server Console; and basic troubleshooting information. For more detailed information on using Directory
Server, see the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
7.1. Directory Server File Locations
Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 conforms to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standards. For more information on
FHS, see the FHS homepage, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/. T he files and directories installed with
Directory Server are listed in the tables below for each supported platform.
In the file locations listed in the following tables, instance is the server instance name that was given
during setup. By default, this is the leftmost component of the fully-qualified host and domain name. For
example, if the hostname is ldap.example.com , the instance name is ldap by default.
The Administration Server directories are named the same as the Directory Server directories, only
instead of the instance as a directory name, the Administration Server directories are named adm in-
serv. For any directory or folder named slapd-instance, substitute adm in-serv, such as
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-exam ple and /etc/dirsrv/adm in-serv.
