> If I specify the full path to config.xml in the Configuration File Path on the dashboard admin page, then dashboard tries to load config.xml and errors on finding the config.properties:
> root cause
> net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.CruiseControlException: Could not load properties from file "config.properties". The file does not exist
> 	net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.ProjectXMLHelper.registerProperty(ProjectXMLHelper.java:196)
> 	net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.dashboard.utils.DashboardConfig.handleRootProperty(DashboardConfig.java:229)
> 	net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.dashboard.utils.DashboardConfig.parse(DashboardConfig.java:115)
> 	net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.dashboard.utils.DashboardConfig.<init>(DashboardConfig.java:108)
> ....snip
> root cause
> java.io.FileNotFoundException: config.properties (No such file or directory)
> 	java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
> 	java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106)
> 	java.io.FileReader.<init>(FileReader.java:55)
> 	net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.ProjectXMLHelper.registerProperty(ProjectXMLHelper.java:174)
> ...snip
> This is the reference to the config.properties in my config.xml:
> <cruisecontrol>
>   <property file="config.properties" />
> ....snip
> </cruisecontrol>
> I believe dashboard fails loading it because the reference above is relative, and config.properties resides in the same dir as config.xml.  Obviously the current dir then is not the config.xml file!
> The CC process and the current reporting application work fine with it specified in this manner.
