# How to configure and launch the Ocsigen Server?


### Default configuration file

- Eliom distillery is generating a configuration file
- If you want to create it yourself, you can have a look at the default configuration file provided with the installation of Ocsigen (usually `/etc/ocsigenserver/ocsigenserver.conf.sample`).
- Change the port by the network port number you want your website to work on. The port **80** is the port used by http by default but you need to be the administrator of your server to use it.
- Adapt paths.
- Change other parameters that suit your needs using the `configuration file documentation`.

### Your own configuration file

Have a look at the `configuration file full documentation`.


### Launch the server

```ocaml
ocsigenserver -c your_config_file.conf
```
