ServBay's configuration file structure is clear, with all configuration files centralized in the /Applications/ServBay/etc directory, categorized by different services and versions. This article will detail how to locate and manage configuration files for different services.

Directory Structure Overview

ServBay's configuration files are mainly located in the following directories:

/Applications/ServBay/etc: Main configuration directory, containing most service configuration files.
/Applications/ServBay/db/postgresql: Configuration directory for the PostgreSQL database service.

Service Configuration Files

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL configuration files are located in the db directory, categorized by different PostgreSQL versions. For example, configuration files for PostgreSQL 16 are located at:

/Applications/ServBay/db/postgresql/16

In this directory, you can find the main PostgreSQL configuration files such as postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf, and pg_ident.conf.

OpenSSL

OpenSSL configuration files are located in the package/common/openssl directory, also categorized by version. For example, configuration files for OpenSSL 3.2 are located at:

/Applications/ServBay/package/common/openssl/3.2

In this directory, you can find the main OpenSSL configuration file, such as openssl.cnf.

Other Services

Configuration files for other services are usually located in the /Applications/ServBay/etc directory, categorized by service name and version. For example, Caddy configuration files are located at:

/Applications/ServBay/etc/caddy

In this directory, you can find the main configuration files for Caddy, such as Caddyfile and other related files.

Locating and Managing Configuration Files

ServBay provides a flexible way to manage configuration files. You can locate and manage them through the following steps:

Navigate to the Configuration File Directory: Use command-line tools or a file manager to navigate to the appropriate configuration file directory. For example, to view the configuration files for PostgreSQL 16:
bash
```
cd /Applications/ServBay/db/postgresql/16
```

Edit Configuration Files: Use a text editor (like vim, nano, or gedit) to open and edit configuration files. For example, to edit the postgresql.conf file for PostgreSQL:
bash
```
vim postgresql.conf
```
1
Restart the Service: After modifying the configuration files, you need to restart the respective service for the changes to take effect. You can restart the service via ServBay’s management interface or use the servbayctl command-line tool. For example, to restart the PostgreSQL service:
bash
```
servbayctl restart postgresql 16
```
