Should I change the site to the settings of what shows in my control panel? What would be the impact of doing that?

There are three values you need to copy/paste into the config file, and they're all there in your buzztouch.com control panel.

The values I have from the original install a year ago are different from the values on BT.com control panel. Should I change them to the values in my BT.com control panel and if I do will it break anything i.e. existing apps compiled off of the old settings?

It doesn't affect any of your currently compiled apps. So, you should be fine if you need to change them. I didn't have these values in the new section of the config.php file that needs modifying...I had to put them there myself. Comments The api stuff is for packing up the code only.

Fingers Crossed Veteran developer Posts: 234 Reg: Jan 16, 2012 Simcoe, ON 6,390	02/07/13 06:34 AM (12 years ago) You entered it on your buzztouch account when you set up the API in the first place. If you don't remember it, just re-enter it. (Log into your buzz touch account. Choose 'Self Hosted Servers' on the left panel. Click your server name, and click modify to change it.)

Dusko Veteran developer Posts: 998 Reg: Oct 13, 2012 Beograd 22,680	02/07/13 06:41 AM (12 years ago) Thank you, but I still do not see any old apps from the files folder. And they are there, only version 2.1.8 does NOT see them. Comments Thank you, but I still do not see any old apps from the files folder. And they are there, only version 2.1.8 does NOT see them.
