The settings in the

The configuration files settings.php and
additional.php are located in the directory
config/system/ in Composer-based
installations. In classic installations they are located in
typo3conf/system/.
This path can be retrieved from the Environment API, see getConfigPath() for both Composer-based and classic installations.
