Incorrect Documentation in Regards to Config File Location #334

Closed jtweeder closed 5 years ago

jtweeder commented 5 years ago

Environment information:

Describe the issue Relative path for config file in documentation appears incorrect.

To Reproduce Per documentation I placed a custom config file at: %TABPY_ROOT%\tabpy-server\tabpy_server\myconfig.conf

When starting tabpy with startup.cmd myconfig.conf i get an error that it cannot find the custom config file and is reverting to default.

Additional context As troubleshooting I moved the location of the myconfig.conf file and moved it to the %TABPY_ROOT% folder. When I run startup.cmd myconfig.conf with the custom file in %TABPY_ROOT% it finds the file and starts without problems, but this seems contrary to what is the current docs.

@jtweeder You are right - documentation seems to be incorrect :(

I can edit those docs, as that is a relatively easy fix I believe.

Thanks for the reply, I was wanting to make sure I was reading the information correctly and it was truly incorrect before suggesting a change, as on a recent occasion my issue was caused by me and not the docs :)
