2.7. The Solaris operating system directory structure

The following is the default directory layout after a successful installation: 
.
|-- /opt/redhat/ews
    |-- bin
    |-- doc
    |-- etc
    |-- lib
    |-- lib64 (present only for the x86_64 systems platform)
    |-- include
    |-- README
    |-- man
    |-- share
        |-- tomcat5
        |-- tomcat6
    |-- sbin
    |-- var
The Solaris operating system directory structure is different to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux structure and the reasoning for this is as follows:
  • Native Solaris packages require the absolute location
  • Solaris operating systems (and other non-Red Hat Enterprise Linux platforms) must ship and build all the dependent components such as openldap, openssl, db4 and cyrus-sasl to name a few.
