Thanks for the answer, it did not help much. I have read this several times and this I already know, It still does not answer the question, why there is the need for three files instead of a single file. Not to mention multiple different config files. All these files are more or less configuration file which set up the environment and properties of the server. Why can't there be a single file that one would modify in order to tweak the server to his or her needs. In the current situation you have to search many different files to find the place where the option is configured.
