CAUTION
To modify the configuration file:
Stop the CMS instance whose configuration file you want to edit (see "Starting,

you make to CMS through the CMS console are changed in the cached version
of the file. When you stop or restart the server, the configuration file stored in
the cache is written to disk.
You must stop the server before editing the configuration file because your
changes will be overwritten by the cached version when the server is stopped
or restarted.
Go to the following directory:
