# Configuration
Configuration files in ENiGMA½ are simple UTF-8 encoded [HJSON](http://hjson.org/) files. HJSON is just like JSON but simplified and much more resilient to human error.
## System Configuraiton
## System Configuration
The main system configuration file, `config.hjson` both overrides defaults and provides additional configuration such as message areas. The default path is `~/.config/enigma-bbs/config.hjson` though you can override this with the `--config` parameter when invoking `main.js`. Values found in core/config.js may be overridden by simply providing the object members you wish replace.
**Windows note**: **~** resolves to *C:\Users\YOURLOGINNAME\* on modern installations, e.g. *C:\Users\NuSkooler\\.config\enigma-bbs\config.hjson*

# Menu System
ENiGMA½'s menu system is highly flexible and moddable. The possibilities are almost endless! By modifying your `menu.hjson` you will be able to create a custom look and feel unique to your board.
The default `menu.hjson` file lives within the `mods` directory. To specify another file, set the `menuFile` property in your `config.hjson` file:
The default `menu.hjson` file lives within the `mods` directory. It is **highly recommended** to specify another file by setting the `menuFile` property in your `config.hjson` file:
```hjson
general: {
/* Can also specify a full path */
menuFile: mybbs.hjson
}
```
(You can start by copying the default `menu.hjson` to `mybbs.hjson`)
## The Basics
Like all configuration within ENiGMA½, menu configuration is done via a HJSON file. This file is located in the `mods` directory: `mods/menu.hjson`.

# Web Server
ENiGMA½ comes with a built in *content server* for supporting both HTTP and HTTPS. Currently the [File Bases](file_base.md) registeres routes for file downloads, and static files can also be served for your BBS. Other features will likely come in the future or you can easily write your own!

## Configuration
By default the web server is not enabled. To enable it, you will need to at a minimum configure two keys in the `contentServers::web` section of `config.hjson`:
