Editing code for mattermost

It appears it cannot find the config_docker.json file. Can you confirm that mattermost works via a plain vanilla install before editing the config.

It also looks like the path to the config file tries to point to 2 different files, one in t_kadum and another in program files. It should only point to 1 inside the container. You should be editing the config file in the container and should not need to modify the -v flag.

Thanks @coreyhulen For reply. I would like to know how to edit the config file in container.It would be really great if i could get sample instructions as i am running it on my windows7.

Also while editing do i need to keep applicattion running or i can just edit the config file on the fly when it is already running. I want to edit config file and put my aws s3 parameters to enable file upload or sharing in mattermost/

Thanks in advance

Here's a snippet of some documentation steps we are working on. The steps below do not address your specific issue, but it outlines how to edit the config.json file in the docker container.

1. If you're running Mattermost on Amazon Beanstalk you can shell into the instance with the following commands
2. ssh ec2-user@[domain for the docker instance]
3. sudo gpasswd -a ec2-user docker
4. Retrieve the name of the container with sudo docker ps
5. sudo docker exec -ti container_name /bin/bash
6. Edit the config file vi /config_docker.json with the settings you captured from the step above.
7. Restart Mattermost
8. Find the process id with ps -A and look for the process named platform
9. Kill the process kill pid
10. The service should restart automatically. Verify the Mattermost service is running with ps -A
