Hello,

I was using the older 1.1 version and then I just installed this one … The older one had a config.json file to configure can anyone please tell me how to do the same in this one. Might be a lame question for many people here but I am just new to genieacs and kinda still not used to it.

Thanks

I would start with the docs which provide the following answer regarding the configuration variables that were previously found in config.json

Create the file `/opt/genieacs/genieacs.env` to hold our configuration options which we pass to GenieACS as environment variables. See ([https://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/environment-variables.html#environment-variables](https://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/environment-variables.html#environment-variables)) section for a list of all available configuration options.

You can keep your existing config.json file in v1.2. However I would recommend that move your config to environment variables as @ianbmacdonald said. Note that certain options are not available as environment vairables but have instead been moved to the databsae (under admin -\> config tab). Here’s the full list of these options and their equivalent in the database:

DOWNLOAD\_TIMEOUT: cwmp.downloadTimeout  
DEBUG: cwmp.debug  
RETRY\_DELAY: cwmp.retryDelay  
SESSION\_TIMEOUT: cwmp.sessionTimeout  
CONNECTION\_REQUEST\_TIMEOUT: cwmp.connectionRequestTimeout  
GPN\_NEXT\_LEVEL: cwmp.gpnNextLevel  
GPV\_BATCH\_SIZE: cwmp.gpvBatchSize  
COOKIES\_PATH: cwmp.cookiesPath  
DATETIME\_MILLISECONDS: cwmp.datetimeMilliseconds  
BOOLEAN\_LITERAL: cwmp.booleanLiteral  
CONNECTION\_REQUEST\_ALLOW\_BASIC\_AUTH: cwmp.connectionRequestAllowBasicAuth  
MAX\_COMMIT\_ITERATIONS: cwmp.maxCommitIterations  
DEVICE\_ONLINE\_THRESHOLD: cwmp.deviceOnlineThreshold  
UDP\_CONNECTION\_REQUEST\_POR: cwmp.udpConnectionRequestPort

The value should be an “expression” which is a new format that I haven’t yet had the time to document. For now you’ll probably get by using numbers, boolean (true/false), or quoted string literals ().
