[erlang-questions] starting an app with an app.config file

[Roberto Ostinelli]

Hi,

this isn't working. From the docs:

load(AppDescr) -> ok | {error, Reason}
load(AppDescr, Distributed) -> ok | {error, Reason}

So application:load/2 actually is not reading from a config file.

Any other ideas?

r.
