| 5 | XWiki reads its settings through the [[Configuration Module>>doc:extensions:Extension.Configuration Module]], which takes them from two places: | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | * The configuration files of the web application, ##xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.properties##. Some settings exist only here and have no equivalent in the administration. ##xwiki.cfg## is the historical file, and its options are progressively being moved to ##xwiki.properties##. Stop the XWiki server before editing either file, and restart it afterwards. | ||
| 8 | * The [[wiki administration>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.base.content-organization.administer-wiki.WebHome]], which applies the changes while the server keeps running. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | The topics below cover the [[XWiki Directories>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.directories.WebHome]] an instance uses, the [[superadmin account>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.superadmin-account.WebHome]], the [[character encoding>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.character-encoding.WebHome]] the wiki and the stack around it have to agree on, [[statistics>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.statistics.WebHome]], the [[error pages>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.error-pages.WebHome]] a reader gets when something is missing or refused, the [[Interwiki links>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.configure-interwiki-links.WebHome]] that reach other sites through a short alias, and the [[rendering transformations>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.configuration.rendering-transformations.WebHome]] that run over a page between parsing it and displaying it. The languages the wiki offers are configured under [[Language Configuration>>doc:documentation.xs.admin.language.WebHome]], a topic of its own. |
