# Validate the Configuration File

The Config page displays the ACI server or component configuration file. You can search for text within the configuration file, but you cannot edit the configuration file from this page.

IDOL Admin validates the configuration file on loading, using the `ValidateConfig` action. For more information about this action, see the IDOL Server Reference.

Validation messages are displayed alongside the configuration file, grouped by file section.

- To hide individual messages, click - in the upper right corner of the message. To display the message again, click +.
- To hide messages for a section, click the section name.

You can display the configuration file in its normal format, or divided into sections.

- Click Raw to display the normal format.
- Click Sections to display the file divided into sections. When displaying sections, you can use the buttons in the top-right corner of the file pane to display either the whole file or the section headings only. Clicking a section name collapses or expands the section.

Type into the Search bar to search for text in the configuration file.
