RSS-Bridge supports custom configurations for common parameters on the server side!
A default configuration file (`config.default.ini.php`) is shipped with RSS-Bridge. Please do not edit this file, as it gets replaced when upgrading RSS-Bridge!
You should, however, use this file as template to create your own configuration (or leave it as is, to keep the default settings). In order to create your own configuration perform following actions:
* Create the file `config.ini.php` in the RSS-Bridge root folder (next to `config.default.ini.php`)
* Copy the contents from `config.default.ini.php` to your configuration file
* Change the parameters to satisfy your requirements
RSS-Bridge will automatically detect the `config.ini.php` and use it. If the file doesn't exist it will default to `config.default.ini.php` automatically.
__Notice__: If a parameter is not specified in your `config.ini.php` RSS-Bridge will automatically use the default settings from `config.default.ini.php`.
