Set the Config File Directory

If you are running Iguana 4.0 or later, you can specify the directory in which the configuration file is located.

This allows you to:

• Keep all of your Iguana configuration files in a single directory structure
• Easily test upgrades to Iguana, as you can put the test configuration file in a separate directory and roll back as needed
• Change configuration files as necessary

To specify the configuration file directory:

1. Stop your Iguana service if it has already been started, see Starting and Stopping the Iguana Service.
2. Using a text editor, edit the iguana_service.hdf configuration file. This file is located in the directory in which Iguana is installed.
3. If you are running Iguana on Windows, edit the command_line field in the iguana_service.hdf file. Use the –working_dir parameter to specify the directory containing the configuration file. For example:command_line=iguana.exe --working_dir "D:\build\v3"
4. If you are running Iguana on Unix, Linux or Mac OS X, edit the command_line_unix field in the iguana_service.hdf file. Use the –working_dir parameter to specify the directory containing the configuration file. For example:command_line_unix=./iguana --working_dir "Users/admin/build/v3"
5. Save the edited iguana_service.hdf file and restart your Iguana service.
