Thanks for the changes Roman, I have one question. How does this work 
if, for example, I am installing the service with the help of 
perfSONAR-2.0 bundle installer?

i.e., I extract perfSONAR-2.0.tar.gz into the following directory

/home/loukik/testing/

Thus creating the following directories

/home/loukik/testing/perfSONAR-2.0
/home/loukik/testing/perfSONAR-2.0/install.pl
/home/loukik/testing/perfSONAR-2.0/perfSONAR-RRD-MA-2.0/ (auto created 
by install.pl when I asked it to install RRD-MA)
/home/loukik/testing/perfSONAR-2.0/perfSONAR-SQL-MA-2.0/ (auto created 
by install.pl when I asked it to install SQL-MA)

what will be the default value for the location of webapps directory?

thanks,
Loukik.
