When the user tries to setup the client for the first time he comes across 2 configuration files: tigase.conf
and config.tdsl
in the /etc
folder. Here is a brief explanation what all those files are about and in other sections you can learn all the details needed
to configure the server.
- config.tdsl file is a simple text file with server parameters in form: key = value. When the XML configuration file is missing the Tigase server reads
config.tdsl
file and uses parameters found there as defaults for generation of the XML file. Therefore if you change theconfig.tdsl
file you normally have to stop the server, remove the XML file and start the server again. All the settings from theconfig.tdsl
are read and applied to the XML configuration. The properties file is easy to read and very safe to modify. At the moment this is the recommended way change the server configuration. - tigase.conf is the Tigase server startup configuration. It is actually not used by the server itself. It rather contains operating system
settings and environment parameters to correctly run the Java Virtual Machine. It is only useful on the unix-like systems with Bash shell. If you run the server on MS Windows systems
tigase.bat
andwrapper.conf
files are used instead. Thetigase.conf
file is read and loaded by thescripts/tigase.sh
shell script which also scans the operating system environment for Java VM and other tools needed.
