config.php¶
At the root of the module, there is a file called config.php. This file contains some additional options of the module. These options require a good knowledge of XOOPS and servers. That's why they were in that file and not in the general options of the module. If you modify this file, make a backup and keep a copy of the original file because an error could result in stopping the operation of the module.
Modify this file only if you know what you're doing, or contact us.
