=====MIX Configuration=====

MIX traditionally used a configuration file called mix.properties to set the parameters for the MIX installation. This has given way to a more uniform configuration file, used for all ErgoTech applications and stand-alone deployments, ErgoTechConfiguration.properties.

Note: Some startup parameters for MIX must be provided on the command-line as "-D" options and these special cases will be noted in this article.

====ErgoTechConfiguration.properties====

ErgoTechConfiguration.properites is a text file which lists parameters and their values in a column, formatted as:

<code>
propertyName=propertyValue
</code>

The MIX runtime configuration has traditionally been named "mix.properties" but all these properties can be entered in a standard ErgoTechConfiguration.properties file.

====More Information and Options====

===authenticate===

The authenticate property defaults to true but can be set to false to avoid the login panel for the MIX web view. 

===mix.port===

By default MIX runs on port 7226. You can change this port to a different value and restart MIX. The URL to access the web view will change from <nowiki>http://ipaddress:7226 to the new port, such as http://ipaddress:xxxx </nowiki> where mix.port is set to xxxx.
