|

Friendica's configuration is done in two places: in INI configuration files and in the `config` database table.
|
||||
Database config values overwrite the same file config values.

# File configuration

## File configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration format for file configuration is an INI string returned from a PHP file.
|
||||
This prevents your webserver from displaying your private configuration it interprets the configuration files and displays nothing.

### Configuration location
|
||||
|
||||
All the configuration keys Friendica uses are listed with their default value if any in `config/defaults.ini.php`.
|
||||
Addons can define their own default configuration values in `addon/[addon]/config/[addon].ini.php` which are loaded when the addon is activated.
|
||||
The `config` directory holds key configuration files:

|
||||
### Migrating from .htconfig.php to config/local.ini.php
|
||||
- `config.ini.php` holds the default values for all the configuration keys that can only be set in `local.ini.php`.
|
||||
- `settings.ini.php` holds the default values for some configuration keys that are set through the admin settings page.
|
||||
- `local.ini.php` holds the current node custom configuration.
|
||||
- `addon.ini.php` is optional and holds the custom configuration for specific addons.

#### Migrating from .htconfig.php to config/local.ini.php
|
||||
|
||||
The legacy `.htconfig.php` configuration file is still supported, but is deprecated and will be removed in a subsequent Friendica release.
|
||||
|
||||
The migration is pretty straightforward, just copy `config/local-sample.ini.php` to `config/local.ini.php`, add your configuration values to it according to the following conversion chart, then rename your `.htconfig.php` to check your node is working as expected before deleting it.
|

The migration is pretty straightforward:
|
||||
If you had any addon-specific configuration in your `.htconfig.php`, just copy `config/addon-sample.ini.php` to `config/addon.ini.php` and move your configuration values.
|
||||
Afterwards, copy `config/local-sample.ini.php` to `config/local.ini.php`, move the remaining configuration values to it according to the following conversion chart, then rename your `.htconfig.php` to check your node is working as expected before deleting it.
