[Openinteract-help] Difference server.ini <-> server.perl ??

[Nick S. <ni...@te...>]

Hi all,

I'm currently playing around with the newest OpenInteract and tried to
change default server actions for "none" and "notfound".
I found out that OI doesn't recognize changes in server.perl even when I
comment the respective mappings in server.ini.

I don't understand the difference between the two files:
Which file is processed first?
How does OI know how to handle "none"-requests even when I comment out the mappings in both files?
Are these two files related at all (they have to, since they have same
entries in different format?!)?

In the manual file action.pod
(/SystemDoc/show/?package=base;doc=action.pod) you talk about action names
"" for none and "_notfound_", but the corresponding (?) entries in
server.perl/server.ini are "none" and "not_found"??!

Please help!


	Nick



ps: After all, OpenInteract is great, thanks for providing this great
tool!! :-)

Use either server.perl OR server.ini. They have identical information.
The server.perl file is mainly supported for backwards compatibility;
using the server.ini file is recommended.

OI knows which one to parse by the relevant entries in the
$WEBSITE_DIR/conf/base.conf file.

This is out of date, I'll fix it. The entries in the server.ini file are
authoritative.

Thanks,

Chris
