Appendix D: Configuration File Equivalents

Earlier versions of RealServer used a different file format. Some of the configuration variables have different names or syntax in RealServer version 7.0.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of RealServer, it is recommended that you use RealSystem Administrator to customize your new RealServer, rather than editing the configuration file directly.
