Changing your citserver config the hard way

Normally you will configure Citadel using the "administration" screen in WebCit.

If you want to manipulate configuration keys and values manually from the command line for some reason, you can use the sendcommand utility to talk directly to the server.

Warning: These commands can render your Citadel system unusable if used in the wrong way. Do not perform these operations unless you are sure you know what you are doing.

To list all of the configration keys and values in the system, enter the following command:

./sendcommand 'CONF LISTVAL'

To view the value of an individual configuration value, enter the following command:/p>

./sendcommand 'CONF GETVAL|key_name'

To change the value of an individual configuration value, enter the following command:/p>

./sendcommand 'CONF PUTVAL|key_name|new_key_value'
There are no social media links here. Enjoy a friendly Citadel community instead. Or go outside.
