R,W,A,D
ConfigFile The name of the file from which the server configuration and security settings was loaded upon initialisation. If an alternative configuration file is desired, the server should be started with a command line parameter that specifies the new file. The Server Initialisation hook can make use of this variable. conf/powerweb.cfg TextR,W
GMTOffset The GMT offset (in seconds west of GMT). If GMTSET is 0, this will be 0. 0 IntegerR
GMTSet Whether the timezone relative to GMT has been set. This is typically done by setting the operating system timezone environment variable (for example, "TZ" under OS/2). Without the timezone being set, it is impossible to make proper decisions regarding whether a document is out of date if the client and server operate in two different time zones. No IntegerR
GMTTime The current GMT date and time, empty if GMTSet is FALSE.
The format is "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss".
1995/09/01 12:34:56 TextR
LocalTime The current local date and time. This variable is useful within PowerWeb Macro scripts for date and time stamping the receipt of a form or the transmittal of a document.
The format is "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss".
1995/09/01 14:34:56 TextR
PID The current process identifier of the server program. 123 IntegerR
PIDFile The name of the file into which the current process identifier of the server program is written. logs/powerweb.pid TextR,W
ServerRoot This directory contains all the sub-directories that contain the server program, configuration files, audit logs, administration utilities, CGI executables, etc.

VERY IMPORTANT:
If you change this directory, be sure to modify any relevant paths under "Security/Resource", otherwise you will not be able to access the administration and configuration facilities. This would mean that you would be locked out of your own server, except to start up in "maintenance mode" (by running PowerWeb -f). Note you can always revert back to one of the automatically created backup copies of your configuration if you do make such a mistake.

c:/powerweb TextR,W
Threads The maximum number of threads that should be allocated by PowerWeb to handle connections across all services.

You should set this to be at least as large as the sum of the average load across all your services, plus the number of services that you are running. Depending on your operating system and what other programs you are executing, you may need to change your operating system configuration to support the extra number of threads.

16 IntegerR,W
Version The version number of the server software currently executing. PowerWeb/2.04 TextR
VersionConfig The server software version number under which the configuration was created or saved. This variable is used to perform automatic upgrades from one version to another. 2.04 TextR,W
