[Locomotive-users] (persistent?) configuration problems

[Daniel Torrey]

Hi Rich,

I went through the same dance.  I ended up switching the server to  
lighttpd on someone's advice (I think it was Ryan).

To use lighttpd, open <YourApp>/config/locomotive.yml, and add

	server: lighttpd

Then start that app from locomotive.
