MATLAB Web Server

Directory Structure

MATLAB is distributed in compressed format on CD. The installation procedure moves the files to your hard disk, decompresses them, and installs them into your MATLAB root directory. The installation provides a version of the CGI client program matweb for all platforms, regardless of which platform matlabserver is licensed for. This allows your matweb client to run on a different machine and platform from your copy of matlabserver. The supported platforms are:

PC running Windows NT (win32)
Sun workstation running Solaris (sol2)
PC running Linux (glnx86)

In the directory structure shown below, replace the pathname component arch with the appropriate identifier for your platform.

After installation of the MATLAB Web Server, your MATLAB directory should include these additional files and subdirectories.
