Config object not populating

I've been using the REST API for my current project with Vue.js on the front end. Happy with the results so far - just deployed the app to production.

However, I ran into an issue with a new feature I'm working on - it was not finding the location for Config.cHTMLPagePath despite having it set in the INI file:

TempFilePath=.\temp\
Template=WC_
TimerInterval=200
ScriptMode=1
logformat=3
DebugMode=On
LiveReloadEnabled=Off
HTMLPagePath=F:\WebConnectionProjects\SCP\Web\
DATAPath=F:\WebConnectionProjects\SCP\deploy\Data\
VirtualPath=/SCP/
HomeUrl=http://localhost/SCP
showrequestdata=Off
showserverform=On
showstatus=On
COMReleaseUrl=http://localhost/SCP/ReleaseComServers.wc
UnattendedComMode=On
Memusage=8176
Adminemail=admin@mw3.net
Adminmailpassword=
Adminmailserver=localhost
Adminmailusername=
Adminmailusessl=Off
Adminsenderroremail=Off

I used ObjectToXML to dump the contents of the Config object to a log file - you can see that property along with cDataPath come up empty:

		<cfilename></cfilename>
		<chtmlpagepath></chtmlpagepath>
		<cmode>INI</cmode>
		<cregnode>Parameters</cregnode>
		<cregpath>SOFTWARE\West Wind Technologies\Config</cregpath>
		<csmtppwd></csmtppwd>
		<cstmpuser></cstmpuser>
		<csubname>config</csubname>
		<cvirtualpath>/SCP/</cvirtualpath>
		<lstriptypeprefix>1</lstriptypeprefix>
		<oxml>NULL</oxml>

Looking at the contents of Server.oConfig shows that it did pick up entries from the INI file, e.g. adminEmail:

		<cadminemail>admin@mw3.net</cadminemail>
		<cadminmailpassword></cadminmailpassword>
		<cadminmailserver>localhost</cadminmailserver>
		<cadminmailusername></cadminmailusername>
		<capplicationname>West Wind Web Connection</capplicationname>
		<ccodeeditorcommandline>code ..\</ccodeeditorcommandline>
		<ccomreleaseurl>http://localhost/SCP/ReleaseComServers.wc</ccomreleaseurl>
		<cdeploymentmode>Production</cdeploymentmode>
		<cfilename>F:\WEBCONNECTIONPROJECTS\SCP\DEPLOY\Scp.ini</cfilename>
		<chomeurl>http://localhost/SCP</chomeurl>
		<chtmlpagepath>F:\WebConnectionProjects\SCP\Web\</chtmlpagepath>
		<cmode>INI</cmode>

Somehow I thought Config and Server.oConfig pointed to the same object? IAC, I don't recall Config issues with other WC projects; not sure what I did wrong. Here's the code from my main PRG:

***************************************************************
DEFINE CLASS ScpConfig AS wwServerConfig
****************************************************************


oSCPProcess = .NULL.

*** ADD CONFIG OBJECT TO CLASS ABOVE - DO NOT MOVE THIS LINE ***

owwMaint = .NULL.

FUNCTION Init

THIS.oSCPProcess = CREATEOBJECT("SCPProcessConfig")

*** ADD CONFIG INIT CODE ABOVE - DO NOT MOVE THIS LINE ***

THIS.owwMaint = CREATEOBJECT("wwMaintConfig")

ENDFUNC

ENDDEFINE
*EOC ScpConfig


DEFINE CLASS wwMaintConfig as RELATION

cHTMLPagePath = ""
cDATAPath = ".\data"
cVirtualPath = "/SCP/"

ENDDEFINE



*** Configuration class for the SCPProcess Process class
DEFINE CLASS SCPProcessConfig as wwConfig

cHTMLPagePath = ""
cDATAPath = ""
cVirtualPath = "/SCP/"
cSTMPUser = ""
cSMTPPwd = ""

ENDDEFINE

*** ADD PROCESS CONFIG CLASSES ABOVE - DO NOT MOVE THIS LINE ***
