Configuring Flash Communication Server > About configuration levels

The server is capable of hosting more than one adaptor and more than one virtual host on each adaptor. Each virtual host is equivalent to a domain name. Each virtual host can run more than one communication application. (Some editions of the server are limited to one adaptor and one virtual host.)

When you're ready to customize the server for your own virtual hosts and applications, you'll edit the server's XML configuration files and the directory structure that contains them. The server uses four configuration files in XML format: Server.xml, Adaptor.xml, Vhost.xml, and Application.xml. You configure the server by editing the contents of these files, either in a text editor or with the Administration Console.

The following sections explain in detail how to configure the server using these files.

Note: If you edit any XML configuration files or create any new ones, you must restart the server before the new settings take effect.
