# Task B: Configure Server Settings

If you need to make changes to any of the following, make the changes to the appropriate config file or environment variable, as required:

## Java Settings

You must set the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable to the root directory of your Java installation.

## Windows

To set the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable:

| 1. | Right click My Computer and select Properties.

| 2. | On the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables, and then add or edit `JAVA_HOME` to point to where the Java JDK installation is located, for example, `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0`.

## UNIX

To set the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable, if the Java installation is located in `java-install-dir`:

| • | Korn and bash shells:

       export JAVA_HOME=java-install-dir;
       export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

| • | Bourne shell:

       JAVA_HOME=java-install-dir;
       export JAVA_HOME; PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

| • | C shell:

       setenv JAVA_HOME java-install-dir;
       setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH;
       export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

## Data Directory

The data directory is the location of volatile files used by the application server, such as server properties and configuration. For more information, see Running Managers With a Different Data Directory.

## Port Changes

By default, the Manager uses HTTP on port 8000 for messaging, port 8080 for the web-based Administration Tool, and port 8005 for Tomcat management. You can change any of these locations by editing the `server.xml` file in the DS_DATA`/conf` directory.

For more information, see Changing the HTTP Ports.

## HTTPS

By default, all communication takes place over HTTP; you can configure the Manager to use HTTPS instead.

For more information, see Configuring SSL.

## Default File Handle Limit

If you are installing a Manager on a UNIX system and plan to run a large grid, you might need to increase the default limit for the number of open file handles. The default on most UNIX systems is 1024, which is insufficient for a busy grid. In Linux, this is done in the `/etc/security/limits.conf` file.
