Originally created by @SB97 on GitHub (Aug 4, 2017).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1564

after installing my gmod server i found out that ./gmodserver dt shows Config file: /home/gmodserver/serverfiles/garrysmod/cfg/gmodserver.cfg but there are also configs in /lgsm/config-lgsm/gmodserver. The detail page also says Change ports by editing the parameters in: gmodserver

the wiki states that https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/wiki/LinuxGSM-Config-Files config-lgsm files are the right one.

I found the same problem with my ark server so i guess it is a general issue?

I think the wiki is right and the detail page should show the location for the configs to edit

The config files in config-lgsm are for general things needed by lgsm: server parameters, directories and stuff. The config in your "cfg" directory is used by the gmod server and contains gamemode settings, map settings etc.

As far as I understand you should not edit the script itself anymore. This should was apparently necessary in older versions (before June). The documentation isn't completely up to date yet.

I also struggled with svenserver configuration file location.
./svenserver details shows:
Config file: /home/svenserver/serverfiles/svencoop/svenserver.cfg,
while the real config file taking effect turns out to be server.cfg in the same directory.
Actually the whole "Server Details" section shows wrong information. Pretty misleading.

@Okonos svenserver.cfg should be the correct config file. Unless sven co-op does it different to every of gold source game

Also the documentation should now be up to date

User just struggled understanding new LinuxGSM config system because the details page was displaying incorrect information: Was saying to edit "gameserver" script instead of the config file, which is now resolved.

Example:
Config file: /home/ultimatebyte/serverfiles/server.properties

Also, now the doc should be good enough to cover this kind of questions.
