Graeme, That is true. However, Mifos also needs to have its own configuration files, and these live in a directory right now. By convention, we call that directory the ".mifos directory" - but really, it can be any directory. See http://www.mifos.org/developers/wiki/MifosConfigurationLocations for more information on how to change this. > In my opinion the .mifos location for configuration data is just wrong for a > Linux system apart from one hosting multiple developers If you want to change the directory, you can simply set the environment variable MIFOS_CONF to another location. This will be checked before the $HOME/.mifos directory, so enables you to set it to anything you want. Setting this variable also enables you to have many Mifos installations on one server, with the proper startup script or scripts. > I think that somewhere like /etc/mifos would be a far better place for the > configuration files on a production Linux system. That is fine for some installations, and you can set that yourself right now. > We've discussed this before, with the recommendation that an environment > variable be set to point to the location of the configuration file(s).

We use a custom startup script that works well with Ubuntu.

I don't understand why not... can you explain this? Why can't you just use a custom startup script to start tomcat? -adam -- Adam Feuer <adamf at pobox dot com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mifos-users mailing list Mifos-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mifos-users
