→When, and How, does MX read the Configuration File?
| Line 124: | Line 124: | ||
Whenever MX is restarted, it reads the latest ''Cumulus.ini'' and if it exists [[Strings.ini|strings.ini]] (briefly mentioned below); from these one (or two) file(s), it learns the configuration that you want it to use. | Whenever MX is restarted, it reads the latest ''Cumulus.ini'' and if it exists [[Strings.ini|strings.ini]] (briefly mentioned below); from these one (or two) file(s), it learns the configuration that you want it to use. | ||
Essentially, MX reads the whole file, for each attribute part of a parameter in the file, there is a variable stored within the MX code. So the value part of each parameter is assigned to the respective variable. Hence MX will not permit any duplicates for any parameter. If MX finds a parameter it does not understand, it ignores that parameter. | Essentially, MX reads the whole file, for each attribute part of a parameter in the file, there is a variable stored within the MX code.

What MX finds in your "Cumulus.ini" does of course determine what you see when you open any of the Settings pages, in the admin interface. This is because the displaying of some settings is dependent on another setting. | What MX finds in your "Cumulus.ini" does of course determine what you see when you open any of the Settings pages, in the admin interface.

For completeness I mention here, configuration information for MX can also be stored in an optional file [[strings.ini]], that is used to identify how various standard output phrases are to be modified to suit you. | |||
