<strong>Server Configuration</strong>

On this page we will put a server.cfg up on this page to show the settings you can have in it. There are explanations on each variable on why it may be done. Remember to go to your ZPS Server Directory and replace the contents in it with this example file and tailor it's custom parts to your own liking.

 Below is an example server configuration. There are explanations/comments on each server variable for what it is used for. You may copy/use this example configuration on your own server and use it as you see fit. But, keep in mind that it is not a one size fits all configuration. You should always review your configurations and tailor them towards you and your server's needs.
