I have just completed a clean install of Solaris 8 on a server which
previously had Solaris 7 installed. While trying to install some
third party software I noticed it needed to install a config file in
/usr/local/<appname>. When I looked under /usr/ I was unable to find
the /usr/local directory. I have now created the directory as I have
since found the application has this config file location hard coded
into the product. I have looked on the various Solaris servers we
have here and they all have /usr/local.
My question is why this directory is not present on a clean install.
Is it because this location is not created until third party products
are installed in this location by the user or an install, or have I
missed something ie this location was moved elsewhere in later
versions of Solaris? I am concerned I may not be aware of the reason
for this directory being missing and it will trip me up later.
This is the first complete install of Solaris I have done so I do not
have any experience of working on a new install of Solaris. Any info
would be appreciated.
