Appendix C: Configuration File Equivalents

Earlier versions of RealServer used a different file format. Some of the configuration variables have different names or syntax in this version of RealServer.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of RealServer, it is recommended that you use RealSystem Administrator to customize your new RealServer, rather than editing the configuration file directly.

Additional Information

Instructions on customizing the configuration file can be found in "Customizing RealServer".
