So Console will no longer configure the web server? That was so easy. This config file is, to me, harder to work with. I suppose it's been that way for a while.
So what I'm looking for is in Setup.EXE? Seems so.
The docs say this: "You can use Setup.exe to install Web Connection or you can use Console.exe and use the New Project Wizard to create new projects or the Server Configuration Wizard to configure an existing Web site." Doesn't seem there's a server config wizard in Console.exe now . . .
Setup.exe sets up the samples and configures Web Connection.
You should not use it to create a starter Web site that you modify for your own projects. Use the Console Wizard to Create New Project which will be in an isolated self contained folder that is portable and can run your application even if you move it somewhere else.

I should probably clarify that I'm talking about production server configuration. Isn't "new project" all about setting up a new project on the dev machine before any coding is done? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding that. But there's no Server Configuration Wizard that I can see anymore.
New projects have built in configuration via the yourApp.exe CONFIG or do bld_yourApp.prg which you can optionally customize. The file is generated when you create a new project and it's based on the fixed project structure of new projects (but can be adapted via the PRG).

Yes, I did run that and got the server up and running and the pages working. It's just very different from the old way with the CONSOLE program. This is - kind of like having to use Powershell for things - seemingly a step back from a GUI to something less visual. Sorry, but on this stuff I don't do all that much, it's nice to have a GUI to step me through it. At each step I can see what's going on. The present config process is more like a black box.
It's really the opposite - the old way was the black box! You had to put all the information in and you couldn't customize anything beyond what you manually put in.
Now you get a customized script generated for you that is specific for your app - it knows where everything is so the defaults just work. And you can customize the PRG file with additional operations or customizing the existing options, plus you can add your own application specific configuration into the script. And... it's portable and repeatable. Move your app? Just re-run the script. Install new app? Re-run the script.
And to run is a single command: YourApp.exe CONFIG. Couldn't really be any simpler?
