Documentation You may want to see the docs...
Warning If the PageTop section of a target in your Cfg file was changed to a format other than the one cfgmaker makes, DON'T USE THIS TOOL FOR THAT FILE. All your changes will be lost, because this tool uses the same format for the PageTop section as the cfgmaker uses.

Uncorrect installation of mc2 may result in some security risk for your Unix-based web server. Please consult the security page.

  4. Edit the targets.
  5. Save the targets to a file.
