After installing the product software on the server, you must run Server Manager to create the folder structure on the server that will be used by the software to enable its use. The first time you run Server Manager on a server, you are prompted to define a default root folder structure for the product server files in which to store Web Client files related to sites. This process is required for proper operation of the software.
After the product server folder structure is created, Server Manager prompts you for permission to set up user accounts, web server permissions, and to perform other automated processes. For information on running Server Manager to setup software on a new server and what tasks it performs, see Run Server Manager to automatically set up a new application server.
When these automated processes are done, you can use Server Manager to create sites and maintain the software components installed on that server.
