== Summary ==
== Summary ==
The default server configuration file is named <code>server.xml</code>, and is located in the same folder as the file named <code>Server.exe</code> on Windows x86, <code>Server_x64.exe</code> on Windows x64, or <code>Server</code> on Linux.<br>
The server.xml file is used to configure your server with things like server name, game, networking, sync, which resources to load, and many other options.
You can use a custom server configuration file with the <code>-config</code> option. Example: <code>Server.exe -config my-config.xml</code>. See the [[ServerCommandArguments|server command arguments]] page for more info on accepted command arguments.
The file uses the XML syntax, with a root node named <code>server</code>.<br>
[https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/ Official XML Specification]


== Settings ==
== Custom Config File ==
You can start the server with a [[ServerCommandLine|command switch]] for a different configuration file name. Example: <code>Server.exe -config my-config.xml</code>.
