About the configuration files

Flash Communication Server uses separate XML configuration files for each level of the server hierarchy: server, adaptor, virtual host, and application. Each of these files contains configuration tags that relate to the server, adaptor, virtual host, or application they are associated with. To customize the functionality of the server, you edit these tags. The server edits some of these tags itself when you use the Administration Console.

If you edit any XML configuration files, you must restart the server before the new settings take effect.

The following sections describe the tags in each XML file in detail.
