2.2.13. Location of cluster manager service files
If you decide to run 1C:Enterprise server as a service during 1C:Enterprise installation, the server agent will be started during the installation. The service will be started under the user account selected during the installation. Server cluster service files, however, will be located in the <1C:Enterprise installation directory>\srvinfo directory and the /d command-line parameter will be explicitly specified in the service parameters.
If you decide to run 1C:Enterprise server as an application during 1C:Enterprise installation, the server will not be started during the installation. You will need to start the server agent manually after the installation is completed. If you do not use the /d command-line parameter, server cluster service files will be located in the default directory: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\1C\1cv8 (%LOCALAPPDATA%\1C\1cv8 for Windows Vista or later).
IMPORTANT. If a cluster is already created on a main server, you must always verify that the specified path to the directory with server cluster service files is correct when you change the server agent start mode (as a service or as an application) or when you change the user account used to run the server agent. If the server agent cannot find the list of clusters during startup, it creates a new cluster on the server.
On Linux, server cluster service files are stored in the /home/usr1cv8/.1cv8/1C/1cv8 folder (short name: ~/.1cv8/1C/1cv8).
