How to Edit Configuration Files Manually with Notepad++

Although you can edit most configuration files on your server using our built-in config feature or built-in text editor, you can still download any config file and manually edit it with a text editor like Notepad++.

The traditional Notepad that comes with Windows works, but it is not ideal. Notepad++ offers many features that normal Notepad does not. Some features of Notepad++ include: easy spacing management, the ability to have multiple tabs open simultaneously, and more.

#Manually Editing a Config File

1. Access your server's Control Panel and navigate to the Files tab.

2. Locate and select your desired config file(s), then click the Download button.

3. Select your downloaded file, right-click it, then select Open With Notepad++.

4. Make your desired changes to the file, then save it by pressing LCTRL + S on your keyboard.

5. Drag and drop the file back onto your panel, then click the Overide button if prompted.

6. Restart your server to apply the changes you made.

That's it! When your server boots up, you can expect your new configuration that you just uploaded to be used.
