Default File Locations

These tables describe the default location where the WatchGuard applications and servers will look for their data files or for data files created by users (such as Firebox configuration files). In some cases, the default location changes, depending on the last place the application opened a file of a similar type. In these cases, the application remembers the last place the file was read/written and looks in that location first.

Since it is possible to configure the Windows operating system (OS) to put these directories on different disk drives, you must determine the exact location of these files based on the configuration of Windows on your computer.

It is also possible to configure log files to be kept in a different directory than other installation files. If you change the default location of log files, these default locations do not apply.

If you are using an OS version that is not English, you must translate directory names (such as “Docu- ments and Settings” or “Program Files” to the match the OS language you use.
