FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I created a server using http://wiki.minetest.com/wiki/Setting_up_a_server/Ubuntu twice, but I haven't been able to find the minetest.conf file so I can setup administrator rights and install mods.

Please help.
Thanks!

If you have RUN_IN_PLACE disabled, minetest.conf should be in ~/.minetest

I followed that tutorial. Does that mean I have RUN_IN_PLACE disabled or not?

There is no minetest.conf in ~/.minetest. Maybe the tutorial should be updated?

I'd assume I can create a minetest.conf file and tell minetest to load from it. How do I do that? Is the latest minetest.conf template available online?

Thanks again.

You can use "minetestserver --config <path to config file>" to make minetest load a specific file
