Chapter 7. Under the Hood

Welcome back! This chapter has a ton of time-saving tips and new approaches that you can start using right away. I'll take you "behind the curtain" on two major aspects of Content Server—its physical installation and its user interface. Here're some of the things you'll learn:

  • How to automate tedious and mind-numbing manual updates and "roll them out" to thousands of items almost instantly

  • A quick and easy way to debug configuration changes and custom components that make hidden errors "pop right out"

  • A little handy utility that makes changing global settings a breeze; no more risky edits of the cryptic global configuration file

  • A sneak peak at how documents are physically stored and what makes Content Server so efficient

Let's get started with the nine important directories.
