Dynamic Reconfiguration

Dynamic reconfiguration allows you to make configuration changes to a live web
server without having to stop and restart the web server for the changes to take
effect. You can dynamically change all configuration settings and attributes in
server.xml
To access the dynamic reconfiguration screen and install a new configuration
dynamically, click the Apply link found in the upper right corner of the Server
Manager, Class Manager, and Virtual Server Manager pages, then click the Load
Configuration Files button on the Apply Changes page. If there are errors in
installing the new configuration, the previous configuration is restored.

Single-Server Configuration

If you have installed Enterprise Server on a single server machine, 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 (for example,
https-admserv-
• bin contains the binary files for the server, such as the actual server, the
Administration Server forms, and so on. In addition, this directory includes the
https/install
and default configuration files needed for backward compatibility.
• docs is the server's default primary document directory, where your server's
content files are usually kept. If you are migrating settings from an existing
server, this directory doesn't appear until you finish the migration process.
• extras contains the log analyzer and log analysis tools.
