Servlets.Net accounts are extremely flexible, allowing you to attach any
number of additional services to your account. The directory structure and configuration of
your account supports this flexible nature. At first glance, your account may seem overly
complex, but it will make sense once you appreciate the simple logic behind it.
UNIX User. The starting point for understanding your account�s configuration is
your Primary UNIX User. A UNIX User has a name that distinguishes it from other
customers� UNIX Users. It provides you with a home directory for your files, an e-mail box,
and access to your account via the POP3, FTP, telnet, and SSH protocols. Each UNIX User also
comes with a certain amount of Disk Space. Be careful not to confuse a UNIX User with
your Servlets.Net Account.
Attaching Services. You can attach other services to this UNIX User, including
Virtual Servers, Java Virtual Machines, and MySQL Databases. You can even add additional
UNIX Users to your Servlets.Net Account and attach services to them.
All of these services are contained within a single Servlets.Net account and are billed
together. Of course, you can always create a new Servlets.Net account if you wish to
separate your services or billing.
Example Structure. Here is a sample directory structure. In this sample,
the Servlets.Net account name (and the Primary UNIX User name) is "sample".
This account has a JVM, a database, and two web sites.
|
/home/sample/
|
| � |
The home directory for the UNIX User named "sample".
� |
|
/home/sample/.db/
|
| � |
All MySQL Databases are stored in this hidden directory. Since each UNIX User can have multiple MySQL Databases, it contains a directory for each of them.
� |
|
/home/sample/.db/sample_db1
|
| � |
The directory for the MySQL Database named "sample_db1". All databases are named by combining your UNIX User name with a unique name that you provide.
� |
|
/home/sample/www/
|
| � |
All Virtual Servers are stored in this directory. Since each UNIX User can have multiple Virtual Servers, it contains a directory for each of them. This directory is not the web document root of any Virtual Server, but it contains directories that are.
� |
|
/home/sample/www/site1/
|
| � |
The web document root directory for the Virtual Server named "site1". You can choose what this directory should be named.
� |
|
/home/sample/www/secure1/
|
| � |
The web document root directory for the Secure Virtual Server named "secure1". You can choose what this directory should be named.
� |
|
/home/sample/jrun/
|
| � |
All JRun Service Managers are stored in this directory. Since each UNIX User can have multiple JRun Service Managers, it contains a directory for each of them.
� |
|
/home/sample/jrun/jsm-sample-jvm1
|
| � |
The directory for the JRun Service Manager named "jsm-sample-jvm1". All JSMs are named by combining "jsm-" with your UNIX User name and a unique name that you provide.
