The configuration system is organized to reflect the operational structure of the server. Configuration information is organized into profiles, which contain distinct settings. Local settings are available for individual virtual servers and affect each one seperately.
Global settings affect the operation of all virtual servers.
This organization is enforced to allow scalability for large installation uses, like web presence providers. Properties Using Profiles Profiles allow separate copies of OmniHTTPd to run on different ports. If the profile doesn't exist, OmniHTTPd will create one with default values.
