Installation Files

Installation Files

When you extract the installable .tar archive, the longjump_app_server/ directory is created. That directory can be located wherever you do the extraction, and it can be renamed, so the alias {appserver_files} is used as the prefix in this guide.

That folder is typically where the runtime files are installed, but the location can be changed by setting the install_dir property, so the alias "{install_dir}" is used for the runtime file prefix.

Pre-Installation File Hierarchy

These files and folders are created by the extraction:
