How to Configure your The Isle Server

Although the default settings for The Isle are suitable for most players, you may wish to make some changes to the way your server is set up. Most of The Isle server settings are located inside The Isle Server Settings file on your server. It is possible to change your server name, admins, player limit and much more all in one place. 

Accessing Your Server Settings

  1. Access your control panel and go to Files > Config Files.
  2. Click The Isle Server Settings.

Configuring Your Server Settings

Note: Before making any changes to your server config, ensure that you Stop your server & Restart it once the changes have been saved.

Now that you have access to your server settings, you can make any required changes. The table below describes all of the available server settings.
