**Note that the `config.txt` file is readable by users of your web demo installation, and contains your MultiChain API password, so you should never use this basic setup for a production system.**
**Note that the `config.ini` file is readable by users of your web demo installation, and contains your MultiChain API password, so you should never use this basic setup for a production system.**

For additional security the `config.ini` file can be placed in a parent directory of the web demo. By default the `read_config()` function will look for the specified configuration file up to three directory levels above the web demo.

Launch the Web Demo
-------------------

No additional configuration or setup is required. Based on where you installed the web demo, open the appropriate address in your web browser, and you are ready to go!

From PHP 5.4.0 it's possible to run the web demo from the command line using the built-in web server. To run the web demo using the provided web server, execute the following command from within the web demo directory:

php -S localhost:8080 -t .

The web demo application will now be accessible through your web browser on the "`http://localhost:8080/`" address.
