The properties file is an important file that exists so that ZPE has an idea of how to run. ZPE will install a properties file upon install in the user's home directory assuming that one does not already exist.
To find the exact location of the properties file, run the -h ZAC with the config argument. The output should look something like below:
Console
Creating directory /var/www/jb/zpe/. No properties file found. Setting to defaults. ZPE Programming Environment (ZPE) 1.13.8 build 523 (July 2025) Anniversary Edition - version 13-7 ZPE CLI version 1.8.1 (YASS 25.5, ZEN 20X, LAME X2), Zenith Parsing Engine version 1.4.3, copyright (c) Jamie Balfour 2011 - 2025 Current maximum memory allocated to ZPE is 477MB. Executable path: /zpe Information and contributions can be found at: https://www.jamiebalfour.scot/projects/zpe/ Creating directory /var/www/jb/zpe/. No properties file found. Setting to defaults. /var/www/jb/zpe/zpe.properties All set properties:
From this output, it is clear what each of the properties are for the engine, and changing them is as simple as opening the properties file in a text editor and modifying the key and value pairs.
