Hi Linux geeks,<br><br>I have just started to setup a production server with centos; and moved from windows server to centos. My first encounter with this great linux distro is good.<br><br>I am not able to understand what is the point of having scattered folders for apache server installation.<br>
<br>when i see the /etc/httpd folder; it has only conf folder and links to logs, module and , run. As i have been working on Windows where all these files are stored in a single installation folder.<br><br>So, this makes me quite confused to start with.<br>
<br>Can anyone tell me what is the idea behind using such a installation pattern. <br><br>Now i am going to install java, I have two options via RPM and other is extracting the distro and use it. i have a feeling if i use first option, all the folders like jre and jdk will be palced any where. Not to be found.<br>
<br>Please tell me or point to any relevant link. so i can go ahead without any doubt over this issue.<br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Regards,<br>Vijay Shanker<br><br><br>
