      Unless the sample has been modified. :-/

      In which case, you would procure a fresh config.js.sample file from the repo and follow these directions

        config.js

        I used the installer script i think it was already renamed. Should I make any changes in the config file?

            What you should get from the installation of MM is a file called config.js.sample. If you no longer have this file then it is likely that you renamed it instead of copying it and renaming the copy. Once you obtain a new, clean config.js.sample you can follow the directions in the link I gave you.

            Yes, you can make any changes you like to the config.js file once you’ve followed the directions above
