In most cases, you will not need to modify ini file settings. This section is presented for advanced users only.

Many configuration setting are available through Job Manager's Setup Options, however, less commonly used settings are reserved for ini file and must be edited with a text editor. Be very careful to keep a backup of this file. If this file is corrupted, you will receive an error message when running Job Manager. You will not be able to login or use the program at all until the ini file has been fixed.

General Settings

option	description
umask	umask = 000 Some web servers are configured so that files created by scripts have restricted permissions. This can cause a problem for Job Manager because it requires its own data files to be writable by the program itself. If you find that you can create a listing once, but not on subsequent attempts, take a look at the data/* files to see if they still have 777 permission. If not, you can set this config option to "000" to explicitly tell the program what umask permissions to use.
disable_filelocking	disable_filelocking = 1 Filelocking prevents two programs from updating the same data files at the same time. Turning off filelocking can cause data corruption. Be sure to backup your data files often if you need to disable filelocking. This option was added in version 1.06.
max_filelock_wait	max_filelock_wait = 5 This is the number of seconds the program will wait for a filelock to become available. If it has to wait longer than this amount of time, the program returns a filelock warning message. You can increase the time to wait by adjusting this setting. This option was added in version 1.06.
