Locating the 'config.properties' file

If you know exactly where this file is, you can skip this section.

You can find this file in atlasFX home directory. The atlasFX home directory has been specified during the installation of atlasFX. If you do not know the directory, you have to look for it at first. If you have the appropriate knowledge in Java, just inspect which value in the system property ATLASFX_HOME is passed to the atlasFX web application.

In the variable ATLASFX_HOME the path is passed to atlasFX home directory. Mostly, this variable is set in the configuration of the used servlet engine. If you do not have the appropriate knowledge, please use the standard system search of your operating mechanisms to identify the 'config.properties'.

If you found one or multiple files with this name you have to verify whether it is indeed the configuration file altlasFX uses currently. To do this, rename the file as 'config.properties_' and try to start atlasFX. If atlasFX is running already, you have to stop it before. Without the file 'config.properties' the web application cannot be started. If the startup fails, the renamed file is probably the previously used 'config.properties' file. Now change the file name of

'config.properties_' back in 'config.properties' and try to start the atlasFX web application again.

If the application starts without any error, it can be assumed that the renamed file is the 'config.properties' file. In case the web application does not start now, a different error probably has occured. Then, the application has to be fixed, before you may go on. If the system is ok, continue again with 1.2.1.

If this procedure is not an option for you, please consult someone who has the necessary expertise.
