ecelerity.conf File

Last updated March 2020

The ecelerity.conf file is the master configuration file for the Momentum application server. It contains general configuration for Momentum, along with other configuration files included from within ecelerity.conf.

The default search path for the configuration file is:

/opt/msys/ecelerity/etc/conf/global:/opt/msys/ecelerity/etc/conf/{NODENAME}:»
  /opt/msys/ecelerity/etc/conf/default

Configuration options defined at the top level of the ecelerity.conf file are defined in a global scope. Many of these options can be defined in other scopes for a more fine-grained configuration. For example, the max_outbound_connections option can be set globally to apply to all outbound connections or within a domain scope to apply to a specific domain only. You can also set it in both scopes if you wish.

For a discussion of scopes and fallbacks, see “Configuration Scopes and Fallback”.

For a summary of all the non-module specific configuration options, refer to Configuration Options Summary .

Modules and their configuration options are discussed in the Modules Reference .
