-Many configuration files for non-Aqua software will be located in `/opt/local/etc`. If applicable to your port, you will need to edit your config file in this location in preparation for use. If your config file ends in a suffix containing something like "sample", you may need to rename it to exclude this suffix. The general approach of providing a "template" config file ensures that the config file you have setup will not be overwritten the next time you upgrade your port. In fact, all ports should be designed not to blow away your configuration. If this isn't the case, please contact the port maintainer or send an email to the list.

 You will need to consult the documentation for the software you have installed to find out how to manually start and stop it if it includes a daemon that is necessary to be running in order for the software to work.
