2.6.1 Where is MonetDB.conf located?

This file tends to be located in the etc/ sub-directory of your MonetDB installation. You can find this value by opening the Administrative GUI in http://127.0.0.1:50001/admin you can click the View DB environment button.

If MonetDB/XQuery runs on some other machine, you can open the Administrative GUI on the URL http://machine:50001/admin, but by default the security settings do not allow that. You can type in the Mserver console window: xrpc_trusted.delete(); to lift these restrictions (they will be re-imposed on server restart).

Alternatively, you can type in the Mserver console window:

monet_environment.find("config").print();
