# Set a server staging mode

The server staging mode specifies the default deployment mode for a server if none is specified at deployment time. For example, the server staging mode is used if you deploy an application or module using `weblogic.Deployer` and you do not specify a staging mode.

To set the server staging mode:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand the Environment node, and then select Servers.
3. In the right pane, click the name of the server instance that you want to configure.
4. Select Configuration->Deployment to display the current staging mode.
5. Select stage, nostage, or external stage from the Staging Mode menu. These modes correspond to the staging modes described in Controlling Deployment File Copying with Staging Modes, and apply only to the selected server instance.
6. In the Staging Directory Name field, enter the path to store staged deployment files. The path is relative to the root directory of the selected server.
7. If you are configuring the staging mode for the Administration Server, also specify an Upload Directory Name, relative to the server's root directory. This is the directory where the Administration Server stores uploaded files for deployment to servers and clusters in the domain.
8. Click Save to save your changes.
9. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
