Created page with "In the installation directory for Box Of Stops, you will find the '''application.properties''' file. This can be used to control a number of installation leve..."

New page

In the [[Directories|installation directory]] for Box Of Stops, you will find the '''application.properties''' file. This can be used to control a number of installation level settings in Box Of Stops.

Please see the '''application.properties.default''' file in the same directory for a list of the available properties you can set. Note this file is just the template, and will be overwritten whenever you [[Upgrading|upgrade]] Box Of Stops. The idea is to copy the setting from here, and set it to your preferred value in '''application.properties'''.

If in doubt about how to enter a value in this file, please investigate how to edit a Java <tt>.properties</tt> file, e.g. on [[wikipedia:.properties|Wikipedia]].

== Examples ==

Please see the "[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Application properties|What links here]]" link for a list of pages in this online help related to '''application.properties'''.
