RE: Configs config_local.py/config_system.py are ignored ?

All working fine now.

Hi Ross,

You should not copy http://config.py<http://pta-smg4.csir.co.za:32224/?dmVyPTEuMDAxJiYzMmMxYWE1YzUzM2U1NzRhZj02NDUwRDIwNl82MzMyXzIwMjRfMSYmOGQyOTE0OWFlNmYyNjQ2PTEzMzMmJnVybD1odHRwJTNBJTJGJTJGY29uZmlnJTJFcHk=> to create config_local or config_system.
