| = Changing a router's configuration |
| |
| You can make a permanent change to a router’s configuration by editing the router’s configuration file directly. You must restart the router for the changes to take effect, but the changes will be saved even if the router is stopped. |
| |
| .Procedure |
| |
| . Do one of the following: |
| + |
| -- |
| ** Edit the default configuration file (`{RouterConfigFile}`). |
| ** Create a new configuration file. |
| -- |
| |
| . Start (or restart) the router. |
| + |
| -- |
| For more information, see xref:starting-router-{context}[]. |
| |
| If you created a new configuration file, you must specify the path using the `--conf` parameter. For example, the following command starts the router with a non-default configuration file: |
| |
| [options="nowrap",subs="+quotes"] |
| ---- |
| $ qdrouterd -d --conf /etc/qpid-dispatch/new-configuration-file.conf |
| ---- |
| -- |
