Help - Save Configuration and Restart

Any changes you make to the PowerWeb Server's configuration do not take affect until you save them and restart the server.

The only exceptions to this are WebCounters and the management of users and their passwords which take affect immediately.

Configuration file Specify the name of the configuration file to either save or load. It defaults to the name of the currently active file.
Restart Method The Quick method swaps the existing configuration for the current edited configuration, whereas the Complete method quits the server program and restarts it.
Restart Time "Now If Idle" will only restart the server if it is not busy servicing any connections.

"When Idle" will restart the server now if it is currently idle, but if it is busy, it will retry every 15 seconds until the server is idle, or until the scheduled restart time arrives (which is defaulted to 4am local time).

"Now Regardless!" will restart the server regardless of any current activity, terminating any existing connections such as FTP transfers.

Save Configuration
before Restart?
Select "yes" if you wish to save the current edited changes you have made to your configuration. Selecting "no" and restarting the server will discard any changes you have made, as well as reloading the server afresh.
Restart the Server! Select this button to restart the server, optionally using the new edited configuration.
Reload Configuration from File Select this button to load a specific configuration file as the current edited configuration without restarting the server and without changing the current live configuration that is in use.

A reason for using this command is to undo any edits you have made to the current configuration.

This command is also useful when you wish to load an older or alternative configuration and either browse it or modify it for use.

Reset Configuration to Default Select this button to reset the currently edited configuration to the installed defaults. It will not change your live configuration until you save it and restart the server.

This option can be very useful if you have modified your configuration extensively and you wish to examine the original default settings without affecting your server's operation.
