Research direction

Open doc/sphinx-guides/source/installation/prerequisites.rst and inspect line 74, where the obsolete domain.xml edit is described. Remove that line and check the surrounding installation guidance for continuity; done means the documentation no longer recommends changing -client to -server.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In our documentation we recommend changing -client to -server in domain.xml, but the file now defaults to -server. I've verified this, but can't find a corresponding commit in the Payara repo.

In any case, we should be able to safely remove line 74.
