Configuration database / log files

Web-client data is stored in db/production.sqlite3, updater queue/configuration is stored in six-updater.yml. Reference. 

During startup, the path noted as DATA_PATH is the path used in the application.

• Default location: C:\users\{username}\appdata\roaming\Six-Updater.
Fall back: C:\users\{username}\appdata\local\temp\Six-Updater
• XP Users: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\application data\Six-Updater.
Fall back: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\local settings\temp\Six-Updater

Incase you can't find these folders, please double check the installation folder instead (Program Files\Six-Updater by default).

NOTE: If you create a file called 'legacy.txt' in the Six-Updater installation folder, the installation folder will instead be used as DATA_PATH.

Firewalls, ports and security/antivirus

Those with funky security systems, please note the following requirements

• tools\ruby\bin\ruby.exe will make outgoing connections to the updater-server-site, over port 80/TCP, and to various RubyGems sites to fetch the latest updater libraries.
• tools\bin\rsync.exe will make outgoing connections to various rsync servers, over port 873/TCP, and possibly 873/UDP.
• tools\gslist.exe will make outgoing connections to various arma servers, incl the gamespy master server.

Please make sure the mentioned applications are fully allowed in your firewall software.
