# Message Queue varhome Directory

The Sun Java System Message Queue software uses a default directory for storing data such as persistent messages and its log file. This directory is called `varhome`. The Application Server uses domain-dir`/imq` as the `varhome` directory. Thus, for the default Application Server domain, Message Queue data is stored in the following location:

    install-dir/domains/domain1/imq/var/instances/imqbroker

Version 7 of the Application Server stored this data in the following location:

    install-dir/imq/var/instances/domain1_server

When executing Message Queue scripts such as install-dir`/imq/bin/imqusermgr`, use the `-varhome` option. For example:

    imqusermgr -varhome $AS_INSTALL/domains/domain1/imq add -u testuser
    -p testpassword
