Fixes
[actualbudget/actual/#5395](https://github.com/actualbudget/docs/issues/759)

**TL;DR** ACTUAL_DATA_DIR works as an env variable but not in the
config.json anymore. That comes up if you are migrating from the old
server to the new.

Troubleshooting Server Configuration Issues

Actual uses the standard Node.js debug module to optionally log helpful debugging information to the console.

If your configuration options (set either in the config file or as environment variables) are not being applied, you can enable debug logging by adding an environment variable named DEBUG with the value actual:config. If youre seeing issues with your HTTPS configuration, you can instead set the value to actual:config,actual-sensitive:config to log the actual values of the HTTPS secrets (which are obscured by default so they dont get leaked unintentionally).

It may be useful to compare your configuration file with the configuration schema. The schema can be found at /packages/sync-server/src/load-config.js
