I had a look at the trunk/backend location and there are 3 subdirectories there: Avision. c .conf .h Referring to te extracted files from 1.0.18 in the temporary Backend Folder there are the same named files but avision.conf is in the extracted files as avision.conf.in I assume I copy the trunk/backend files into the Backend folder of the temp directory, but what about the avision.conf.in?
