====== setConfiguration ======
{#JAPI Joomla.Framework Application JApplication::setConfiguration #}

Sets up the configuration registry. This method will include the specified file, which should specify a class definition for the JConfig class with the appropriate default values for the system configuration parameters. A registry will then be created and the configuration values will be loaded into the registry.

===== Syntax =====
void setConfiguration	( **$file**, **$type** )

| **$file** | string | is a string containing the path to the configuration file |
| **$type** | string | is a string containing the type of the configuration file. This parameter is optional and if omitted, defaults to 'config'. |

===== Examples =====
The Joomla! core calls this method as follows:
<code php|Example>
$mainframe->setConfiguration(JPATH_CONFIGURATION . DS . 'configuration.php');
</code>
JPATH_CONFIGURATION contains the path to the directory that contains the configuration file. Once the configuration registry has been created, the configuration values can then be retrieved using the [[japplication-getcfg|JApplication::getCfg]] method.
