Depending on the Server Type you have selected, additional parameters may be needed.

Now that you have created a new Content Server in the CMS, you will need to ensure that the NATS cms_data directory is available in the location of the newly created content server's content directory. This can be completed by simply creating a symlink.

Example:

ln -s /home/cmsdemo/nats/cms_data /home/cmsdemo/content/www
