Merging UGC configuration files with existing configuration files

Rather than copying UGC configuration files, merge them with the configuration files already present in the website.

Procedure

  1. Access your installation media and navigate to the folder Content Delivery\roles\.
  2. Navigate to the ugc\extension-web\rest\config\ subfolder or, if you use the deprecated API (in-process) role, to ugc\extension-web\in-process\config\ .
  3. Merge the contents of the configuration files in this location with the existing configuration files by the same name that are already present in the configuration location of the web application.
  4. If you are adding this role to a Java/JSP website, m erge the following files from the installation media folder with the corresponding files in your web application:
    Installation media fileMerge with web application file
    cd_ambient_conf.xmlWEB-INF\classes\cd_ambient_conf.xml
    cd_ugc_conf.xmlWEB-INF\classes\cd_ugc_conf.xml
  5. If you are adding this role to a .NET website that contains the RESTful API role , merge the following files from the installation media folder to the configuration location of your web application:
    Installation media fileMerge with web application file
    cd_ambient_conf.xmlbin\config\cd_ambient_conf.xml
    Web.configWeb.config
  6. Alternatively, if you are adding this role to a .NET website that contains the deprecated in-process API role, merge the following files from the installation media folder to the configuration location of your web application:
    Installation media fileMerge with Web application file
    cd_ambient_conf.xmlbin\config\cd_ambient_conf.xml
    cd_ugc_conf.xmlbin\config\cd_ugc_conf.xml
    Web.configWeb.config
