If you previously used an older release of Cumulus, but in this new installation will be using the latest release (latest is what is normally best, unless it has bugs), you may want to read up on all the changes between your old release and the current release, not just changes that affect the configuration file.

There were significant changes to “Cumulus.ini” when moving from 1.9.4 to 3.0.0, see [[Cumulus_3_(MX)_beta_documentation]] and [[Migrating_from_Cumulus_1_to_MX]] pages. As described [[Updating_MX_to_new_version|on upgrading advice page]] in this Wiki, moving from 1.9.4 to MX is best done gradually upgrading through releases, as a number of Cumulus files (e.g. [[Dayfile.txt|dayfile.txt]]), and any database tables you are using, may also need adjusting as you progress up through releases, and that is best done at correct in-between releases (see individual MX release announcements in support forum). Documentation for the 1.9.4 '''cumulus.ini''' file can be found [[Cumulus.ini_(Cumulus_1)|here]] should you need to work on your old legacy file.
