Configuration options
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The main configuration file for StatusNet (excepting configurations for
|
|
dependency software) is config.php in your StatusNet directory. If you
|
|
edit any other file in the directory, like lib/default.php (where most
|
|
of the defaults are defined), you will lose your configuration options
|
|
in any upgrade, and you will wish that you had been more careful.
|
|
|
|
Starting with version 0.9.0, a Web based configuration panel has been
|
|
added to StatusNet. The preferred method for changing config options is
|
|
to use this panel.
|
|
|
|
A command-line script, setconfig.php, can be used to set individual
|
|
configuration options. It's in the scripts/ directory.
|
|
|
|
Starting with version 0.7.1, you can put config files in the
|
|
/etc/statusnet/ directory on your server, if it exists. Config files
|
|
will be included in this order:
|
|
|
|
* /etc/statusnet/statusnet.php - server-wide config
|
|
* /etc/statusnet/<servername>.php - for a virtual host
|
|
* /etc/statusnet/<servername>_<pathname>.php - for a path
|
|
* INSTALLDIR/config.php - for a particular implementation
|
|
|
|
Almost all configuration options are made through a two-dimensional
|
|
associative array, cleverly named $config. A typical configuration
|
|
line will be:
|
|
|
|
$config['section']['option'] = value;
|
|
|
|
For brevity, the following documentation describes each section and
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
site
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This section is a catch-all for site-wide variables.
|
|
|
|
name: the name of your site, like 'YourCompany Microblog'.
|
|
server: the server part of your site's URLs, like 'example.net'.
|
|
path: The path part of your site's URLs, like 'statusnet' or ''
|
|
(installed in root).
|
|
fancy: whether or not your site uses fancy URLs (see Fancy URLs
|
|
section above). Default is false.
|
|
logfile: full path to a file for StatusNet to save logging
|
|
information to. You may want to use this if you don't have
|
|
access to syslog.
|
|
logdebug: whether to log additional debug info like backtraces on
|
|
hard errors. Default false.
|
|
locale_path: full path to the directory for locale data. Unless you
|
|
store all your locale data in one place, you probably
|
|
don't need to use this.
|
|
language: default language for your site. Defaults to US English.
|
|
Note that this is overridden if a user is logged in and has
|
|
selected a different language. It is also overridden if the
|
|
user is NOT logged in, but their browser requests a different
|
|
langauge. Since pretty much everybody's browser requests a
|
|
language, that means that changing this setting has little or
|
|
no effect in practice.
|
|
languages: A list of languages supported on your site. Typically you'd
|
|
only change this if you wanted to disable support for one
|
|
or another language:
|
|
"unset($config['site']['languages']['de'])" will disable
|
|
support for German.
|
|
theme: Theme for your site (see Theme section). Two themes are
|
|
provided by default: 'default' and 'stoica' (the one used by
|
|
Identi.ca). It's appreciated if you don't use the 'stoica' theme
|
|
except as the basis for your own.
|
|
email: contact email address for your site. By default, it's extracted
|
|
from your Web server environment; you may want to customize it.
|
|
broughtbyurl: name of an organization or individual who provides the
|
|
service. Each page will include a link to this name in the
|
|
footer. A good way to link to the blog, forum, wiki,
|
|
corporate portal, or whoever is making the service available.
|
|
broughtby: text used for the "brought by" link.
|
|
timezone: default timezone for message display. Users can set their
|
|
own time zone. Defaults to 'UTC', which is a pretty good default.
|
|
closed: If set to 'true', will disallow registration on your site.
|
|
This is a cheap way to restrict accounts to only one
|
|
individual or group; just register the accounts you want on
|
|
the service, *then* set this variable to 'true'.
|
|
inviteonly: If set to 'true', will only allow registration if the user
|
|
was invited by an existing user.
|
|
private: If set to 'true', anonymous users will be redirected to the
|
|
'login' page. Also, API methods that normally require no
|
|
authentication will require it. Note that this does not turn
|
|
off registration; use 'closed' or 'inviteonly' for the
|
|
behaviour you want.
|
|
notice: A plain string that will appear on every page. A good place
|
|
to put introductory information about your service, or info about
|
|
upgrades and outages, or other community info. Any HTML will
|
|
be escaped.
|
|
logo: URL of an image file to use as the logo for the site. Overrides
|
|
the logo in the theme, if any.
|
|
ssllogo: URL of an image file to use as the logo on SSL pages. If unset,
|
|
theme logo is used instead.
|
|
ssl: Whether to use SSL and https:// URLs for some or all pages.
|
|
Possible values are 'always' (use it for all pages), 'never'
|
|
(don't use it for any pages), or 'sometimes' (use it for
|
|
sensitive pages that include passwords like login and registration,
|
|
but not for regular pages). Default to 'never'.
|
|
sslserver: use an alternate server name for SSL URLs, like
|
|
'secure.example.org'. You should be careful to set cookie
|
|
parameters correctly so that both the SSL server and the
|
|
"normal" server can access the session cookie and
|
|
preferably other cookies as well.
|
|
shorturllength: ignored. See 'url' section below.
|
|
dupelimit: minimum time allowed for one person to say the same thing
|
|
twice. Default 60s. Anything lower is considered a user
|
|
or UI error.
|
|
textlimit: default max size for texts in the site. Defaults to 0 (no limit).
|
|
Can be fine-tuned for notices, messages, profile bios and group descriptions.
|
|
|
|
db
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
This section is a reference to the configuration options for
|
|
DB_DataObject (see <http://ur1.ca/7xp>). The ones that you may want to
|
|
set are listed below for clarity.
|
|
|
|
database: a DSN (Data Source Name) for your StatusNet database. This is
|
|
in the format 'protocol://username:password@hostname/databasename',
|
|
where 'protocol' is 'mysql' or 'mysqli' (or possibly 'postgresql', if you
|
|
really know what you're doing), 'username' is the username,
|
|
'password' is the password, and etc.
|
|
ini_yourdbname: if your database is not named 'statusnet', you'll need
|
|
to set this to point to the location of the
|
|
statusnet.ini file. Note that the real name of your database
|
|
should go in there, not literally 'yourdbname'.
|
|
db_driver: You can try changing this to 'MDB2' to use the other driver
|
|
type for DB_DataObject, but note that it breaks the OpenID
|
|
libraries, which only support PEAR::DB.
|
|
debug: On a database error, you may get a message saying to set this
|
|
value to 5 to see debug messages in the browser. This breaks
|
|
just about all pages, and will also expose the username and
|
|
password
|
|
quote_identifiers: Set this to true if you're using postgresql.
|
|
type: either 'mysql' or 'postgresql' (used for some bits of
|
|
database-type-specific SQL in the code). Defaults to mysql.
|
|
mirror: you can set this to an array of DSNs, like the above
|
|
'database' value. If it's set, certain read-only actions will
|
|
use a random value out of this array for the database, rather
|
|
than the one in 'database' (actually, 'database' is overwritten).
|
|
You can offload a busy DB server by setting up MySQL replication
|
|
and adding the slaves to this array. Note that if you want some
|
|
requests to go to the 'database' (master) server, you'll need
|
|
to include it in this array, too.
|
|
utf8: whether to talk to the database in UTF-8 mode. This is the default
|
|
with new installations, but older sites may want to turn it off
|
|
until they get their databases fixed up. See "UTF-8 database"
|
|
above for details.
|
|
schemacheck: when to let plugins check the database schema to add
|
|
tables or update them. Values can be 'runtime' (default)
|
|
or 'script'. 'runtime' can be costly (plugins check the
|
|
schema on every hit, adding potentially several db
|
|
queries, some quite long), but not everyone knows how to
|
|
run a script. If you can, set this to 'script' and run
|
|
scripts/checkschema.php whenever you install or upgrade a
|
|
plugin.
|
|
|
|
syslog
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
By default, StatusNet sites log error messages to the syslog facility.
|
|
(You can override this using the 'logfile' parameter described above).
|
|
|
|
appname: The name that StatusNet uses to log messages. By default it's
|
|
"statusnet", but if you have more than one installation on the
|
|
server, you may want to change the name for each instance so
|
|
you can track log messages more easily.
|
|
priority: level to log at. Currently ignored.
|
|
facility: what syslog facility to used. Defaults to LOG_USER, only
|
|
reset if you know what syslog is and have a good reason
|
|
to change it.
|
|
|
|
queue
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
You can configure the software to queue time-consuming tasks, like
|
|
sending out SMS email or XMPP messages, for off-line processing. See
|
|
'Queues and daemons' above for how to set this up.
|
|
|
|
enabled: Whether to uses queues. Defaults to false.
|
|
subsystem: Which kind of queueserver to use. Values include "db" for
|
|
our hacked-together database queuing (no other server
|
|
required) and "stomp" for a stomp server.
|
|
stomp_server: "broker URI" for stomp server. Something like
|
|
"tcp://hostname:61613". More complicated ones are
|
|
possible; see your stomp server's documentation for
|
|
details.
|
|
queue_basename: a root name to use for queues (stomp only). Typically
|
|
something like '/queue/sitename/' makes sense. If running
|
|
multiple instances on the same server, make sure that
|
|
either this setting or $config['site']['nickname'] are
|
|
unique for each site to keep them separate.
|
|
|
|
stomp_username: username for connecting to the stomp server; defaults
|
|
to null.
|
|
stomp_password: password for connecting to the stomp server; defaults
|
|
to null.
|
|
|
|
stomp_persistent: keep items across queue server restart, if enabled.
|
|
Under ActiveMQ, the server configuration determines if and how
|
|
persistent storage is actually saved.
|
|
|
|
If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
|
|
need to disable this if it does not support persistence.
|
|
|
|
stomp_transactions: use transactions to aid in error detection.
|
|
A broken transaction will be seen quickly, allowing a message
|
|
to be redelivered immediately if a daemon crashes.
|
|
|
|
If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
|
|
need to disable this if it does not support transactions.
|
|
|
|
stomp_acks: send acknowledgements to aid in flow control.
|
|
An acknowledgement of successful processing tells the server
|
|
we're ready for more and can help keep things moving smoothly.
|
|
|
|
This should *not* be turned off when running with ActiveMQ, but
|
|
if using another message queue server that does not support
|
|
acknowledgements you might need to disable this.
|
|
|
|
softlimit: an absolute or relative "soft memory limit"; daemons will
|
|
restart themselves gracefully when they find they've hit
|
|
this amount of memory usage. Defaults to 90% of PHP's global
|
|
memory_limit setting.
|
|
|
|
inboxes: delivery of messages to receiver's inboxes can be delayed to
|
|
queue time for best interactive performance on the sender.
|
|
This may however be annoyingly slow when using the DB queues,
|
|
so you can set this to false if it's causing trouble.
|
|
|
|
breakout: for stomp, individual queues are by default grouped up for
|
|
best scalability. If some need to be run by separate daemons,
|
|
etc they can be manually adjusted here.
|
|
|
|
Default will share all queues for all sites within each group.
|
|
Specify as <group>/<queue> or <group>/<queue>/<site>,
|
|
using nickname identifier as site.
|
|
|
|
'main/distrib' separate "distrib" queue covering all sites
|
|
'xmpp/xmppout/mysite' separate "xmppout" queue covering just 'mysite'
|
|
|
|
max_retries: for stomp, drop messages after N failed attempts to process.
|
|
Defaults to 10.
|
|
|
|
dead_letter_dir: for stomp, optional directory to dump data on failed
|
|
queue processing events after discarding them.
|
|
|
|
stomp_no_transactions: for stomp, the server does not support transactions,
|
|
so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
|
|
|
|
stomp_no_acks: for stomp, the server does not support acknowledgements.
|
|
so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
|
|
|
|
license
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The default license to use for your users notices. The default is the
|
|
Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, which is probably the right
|
|
choice for any public site. Note that some other servers will not
|
|
accept notices if you apply a stricter license than this.
|
|
|
|
type: one of 'cc' (for Creative Commons licenses), 'allrightsreserved'
|
|
(default copyright), or 'private' (for private and confidential
|
|
information).
|
|
owner: for 'allrightsreserved' or 'private', an assigned copyright
|
|
holder (for example, an employer for a private site). If
|
|
not specified, will be attributed to 'contributors'.
|
|
url: URL of the license, used for links.
|
|
title: Title for the license, like 'Creative Commons Attribution 3.0'.
|
|
image: A button shown on each page for the license.
|
|
|
|
mail
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This is for configuring out-going email. We use PEAR's Mail module,
|
|
see: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php
|
|
|
|
backend: the backend to use for mail, one of 'mail', 'sendmail', and
|
|
'smtp'. Defaults to PEAR's default, 'mail'.
|
|
params: if the mail backend requires any parameters, you can provide
|
|
them in an associative array.
|
|
|
|
nickname
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This is for configuring nicknames in the service.
|
|
|
|
blacklist: an array of strings for usernames that may not be
|
|
registered. A default array exists for strings that are
|
|
used by StatusNet (e.g. 'doc', 'main', 'avatar', 'theme')
|
|
but you may want to add others if you have other software
|
|
installed in a subdirectory of StatusNet or if you just
|
|
don't want certain words used as usernames.
|
|
featured: an array of nicknames of 'featured' users of the site.
|
|
Can be useful to draw attention to well-known users, or
|
|
interesting people, or whatever.
|
|
|
|
avatar
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
For configuring avatar access.
|
|
|
|
dir: Directory to look for avatar files and to put them into.
|
|
Defaults to avatar subdirectory of install directory; if
|
|
you change it, make sure to change path, too.
|
|
path: Path to avatars. Defaults to path for avatar subdirectory,
|
|
but you can change it if you wish. Note that this will
|
|
be included with the avatar server, too.
|
|
server: If set, defines another server where avatars are stored in the
|
|
root directory. Note that the 'avatar' subdir still has to be
|
|
writeable. You'd typically use this to split HTTP requests on
|
|
the client to speed up page loading, either with another
|
|
virtual server or with an NFS or SAMBA share. Clients
|
|
typically only make 2 connections to a single server at a
|
|
time <http://ur1.ca/6ih>, so this can parallelize the job.
|
|
Defaults to null.
|
|
ssl: Whether to access avatars using HTTPS. Defaults to null, meaning
|
|
to guess based on site-wide SSL settings.
|
|
|
|
public
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
For configuring the public stream.
|
|
|
|
localonly: If set to true, only messages posted by users of this
|
|
service (rather than other services, filtered through OStatus)
|
|
are shown in the public stream. Default true.
|
|
blacklist: An array of IDs of users to hide from the public stream.
|
|
Useful if you have someone making excessive Twitterfeed posts
|
|
to the site, other kinds of automated posts, testing bots, etc.
|
|
autosource: Sources of notices that are from automatic posters, and thus
|
|
should be kept off the public timeline. Default empty.
|
|
|
|
theme
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
server: Like avatars, you can speed up page loading by pointing the
|
|
theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real).
|
|
Defaults to NULL, meaning to use the site server.
|
|
dir: Directory where theme files are stored. Used to determine
|
|
whether to show parts of a theme file. Defaults to the theme
|
|
subdirectory of the install directory.
|
|
path: Path part of theme URLs, before the theme name. Relative to the
|
|
theme server. It may make sense to change this path when upgrading,
|
|
(using version numbers as the path) to make sure that all files are
|
|
reloaded by caching clients or proxies. Defaults to null,
|
|
which means to use the site path + '/theme'.
|
|
ssl: Whether to use SSL for theme elements. Default is null, which means
|
|
guess based on site SSL settings.
|
|
sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
|
|
unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
|
|
sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
|
|
|
|
javascript
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
server: You can speed up page loading by pointing the
|
|
theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real).
|
|
Defaults to NULL, meaning to use the site server.
|
|
path: Path part of Javascript URLs. Defaults to null,
|
|
which means to use the site path + '/js/'.
|
|
ssl: Whether to use SSL for JavaScript files. Default is null, which means
|
|
guess based on site SSL settings.
|
|
sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
|
|
unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
|
|
sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
|
|
bustframes: If true, all web pages will break out of framesets. If false,
|
|
can comfortably live in a frame or iframe... probably. Default
|
|
to true.
|
|
|
|
xmpp
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
For configuring the XMPP sub-system.
|
|
|
|
enabled: Whether to accept and send messages by XMPP. Default false.
|
|
server: server part of XMPP ID for update user.
|
|
port: connection port for clients. Default 5222, which you probably
|
|
shouldn't need to change.
|
|
user: username for the client connection. Users will receive messages
|
|
from 'user'@'server'.
|
|
resource: a unique identifier for the connection to the server. This
|
|
is actually used as a prefix for each XMPP component in the system.
|
|
password: password for the user account.
|
|
host: some XMPP domains are served by machines with a different
|
|
hostname. (For example, @gmail.com GTalk users connect to
|
|
talk.google.com). Set this to the correct hostname if that's the
|
|
case with your server.
|
|
encryption: Whether to encrypt the connection between StatusNet and the
|
|
XMPP server. Defaults to true, but you can get
|
|
considerably better performance turning it off if you're
|
|
connecting to a server on the same machine or on a
|
|
protected network.
|
|
debug: if turned on, this will make the XMPP library blurt out all of
|
|
the incoming and outgoing messages as XML stanzas. Use as a
|
|
last resort, and never turn it on if you don't have queues
|
|
enabled, since it will spit out sensitive data to the browser.
|
|
public: an array of JIDs to send _all_ notices to. This is useful for
|
|
participating in third-party search and archiving services.
|
|
|
|
invite
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
For configuring invites.
|
|
|
|
enabled: Whether to allow users to send invites. Default true.
|
|
|
|
tag
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous tagging stuff.
|
|
|
|
dropoff: Decay factor for tag listing, in seconds.
|
|
Defaults to exponential decay over ten days; you can twiddle
|
|
with it to try and get better results for your site.
|
|
|
|
popular
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Settings for the "popular" section of the site.
|
|
|
|
dropoff: Decay factor for popularity listing, in seconds.
|
|
Defaults to exponential decay over ten days; you can twiddle
|
|
with it to try and get better results for your site.
|
|
|
|
daemon
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
For daemon processes.
|
|
|
|
piddir: directory that daemon processes should write their PID file
|
|
(process ID) to. Defaults to /var/run/, which is where this
|
|
stuff should usually go on Unix-ish systems.
|
|
user: If set, the daemons will try to change their effective user ID
|
|
to this user before running. Probably a good idea, especially if
|
|
you start the daemons as root. Note: user name, like 'daemon',
|
|
not 1001.
|
|
group: If set, the daemons will try to change their effective group ID
|
|
to this named group. Again, a name, not a numerical ID.
|
|
|
|
memcached
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
You can get a significant boost in performance by caching some
|
|
database data in memcached <http://www.danga.com/memcached/>.
|
|
|
|
enabled: Set to true to enable. Default false.
|
|
server: a string with the hostname of the memcached server. Can also
|
|
be an array of hostnames, if you've got more than one server.
|
|
base: memcached uses key-value pairs to store data. We build long,
|
|
funny-looking keys to make sure we don't have any conflicts. The
|
|
base of the key is usually a simplified version of the site name
|
|
(like "Identi.ca" => "identica"), but you can overwrite this if
|
|
you need to. You can safely ignore it if you only have one
|
|
StatusNet site using your memcached server.
|
|
port: Port to connect to; defaults to 11211.
|
|
|
|
emailpost
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
For post-by-email.
|
|
|
|
enabled: Whether to enable post-by-email. Defaults to true. You will
|
|
also need to set up maildaemon.php.
|
|
|
|
sms
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
For SMS integration.
|
|
|
|
enabled: Whether to enable SMS integration. Defaults to true. Queues
|
|
should also be enabled.
|
|
|
|
integration
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
A catch-all for integration with other systems.
|
|
|
|
taguri: base for tag:// URIs. Defaults to site-server + ',2009'.
|
|
|
|
inboxes
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
For notice inboxes.
|
|
|
|
enabled: No longer used. If you set this to something other than true,
|
|
StatusNet will no longer run.
|
|
|
|
throttle
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
For notice-posting throttles.
|
|
|
|
enabled: Whether to throttle posting. Defaults to false.
|
|
count: Each user can make this many posts in 'timespan' seconds. So, if count
|
|
is 100 and timespan is 3600, then there can be only 100 posts
|
|
from a user every hour.
|
|
timespan: see 'count'.
|
|
|
|
profile
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Profile management.
|
|
|
|
biolimit: max character length of bio; 0 means no limit; null means to use
|
|
the site text limit default.
|
|
backup: whether users can backup their own profiles. Defaults to true.
|
|
restore: whether users can restore their profiles from backup files. Defaults
|
|
to true.
|
|
delete: whether users can delete their own accounts. Defaults to false.
|
|
move: whether users can move their accounts to another server. Defaults
|
|
to true.
|
|
|
|
newuser
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Options with new users.
|
|
|
|
default: nickname of a user account to automatically subscribe new
|
|
users to. Typically this would be system account for e.g.
|
|
service updates or announcements. Users are able to unsub
|
|
if they want. Default is null; no auto subscribe.
|
|
welcome: nickname of a user account that sends welcome messages to new
|
|
users. Can be the same as 'default' account, although on
|
|
busy servers it may be a good idea to keep that one just for
|
|
'urgent' messages. Default is null; no message.
|
|
|
|
If either of these special user accounts are specified, the users should
|
|
be created before the configuration is updated.
|
|
|
|
snapshot
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The software will, by default, send statistical snapshots about the
|
|
local installation to a stats server on the status.net Web site. This
|
|
data is used by the developers to prioritize development decisions. No
|
|
identifying data about users or organizations is collected. The data
|
|
is available to the public for review. Participating in this survey
|
|
helps StatusNet developers take your needs into account when updating
|
|
the software.
|
|
|
|
run: string indicating when to run the statistics. Values can be 'web'
|
|
(run occasionally at Web time), 'cron' (run from a cron script),
|
|
or 'never' (don't ever run). If you set it to 'cron', remember to
|
|
schedule the script to run on a regular basis.
|
|
frequency: if run value is 'web', how often to report statistics.
|
|
Measured in Web hits; depends on how active your site is.
|
|
Default is 10000 -- that is, one report every 10000 Web hits,
|
|
on average.
|
|
reporturl: URL to post statistics to. Defaults to StatusNet developers'
|
|
report system, but if they go evil or disappear you may
|
|
need to update this to another value. Note: if you
|
|
don't want to report stats, it's much better to
|
|
set 'run' to 'never' than to set this value to something
|
|
nonsensical.
|
|
|
|
attachments
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The software lets users upload files with their notices. You can configure
|
|
the types of accepted files by mime types and a trio of quota options:
|
|
per file, per user (total), per user per month.
|
|
|
|
We suggest the use of the pecl file_info extension to handle mime type
|
|
detection.
|
|
|
|
supported: an array of mime types you accept to store and distribute,
|
|
like 'image/gif', 'video/mpeg', 'audio/mpeg', etc. Make sure you
|
|
setup your server to properly recognize the types you want to
|
|
support.
|
|
uploads: false to disable uploading files with notices (true by default).
|
|
filecommand: The required MIME_Type library may need to use the 'file'
|
|
command. It tries the one in the Web server's path, but if
|
|
you're having problems with uploads, try setting this to the
|
|
correct value. Note: 'file' must accept '-b' and '-i' options.
|
|
|
|
For quotas, be sure you've set the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
|
|
in php.ini to be large enough to handle your upload. In httpd.conf
|
|
(if you're using apache), check that the LimitRequestBody directive isn't
|
|
set too low (it's optional, so it may not be there at all).
|
|
|
|
file_quota: maximum size for a single file upload in bytes. A user can send
|
|
any amount of notices with attachments as long as each attachment
|
|
is smaller than file_quota.
|
|
user_quota: total size in bytes a user can store on this server. Each user
|
|
can store any number of files as long as their total size does
|
|
not exceed the user_quota.
|
|
monthly_quota: total size permitted in the current month. This is the total
|
|
size in bytes that a user can upload each month.
|
|
dir: directory accessible to the Web process where uploads should go.
|
|
Defaults to the 'file' subdirectory of the install directory, which
|
|
should be writeable by the Web user.
|
|
server: server name to use when creating URLs for uploaded files.
|
|
Defaults to null, meaning to use the default Web server. Using
|
|
a virtual server here can speed up Web performance.
|
|
path: URL path, relative to the server, to find files. Defaults to
|
|
main path + '/file/'.
|
|
ssl: whether to use HTTPS for file URLs. Defaults to null, meaning to
|
|
guess based on other SSL settings.
|
|
filecommand: command to use for determining the type of a file. May be
|
|
skipped if fileinfo extension is installed. Defaults to
|
|
'/usr/bin/file'.
|
|
sslserver: if specified, this server will be used when creating HTTPS
|
|
URLs. Otherwise, the site SSL server will be used, with /file/ path.
|
|
sslpath: if this and the sslserver are specified, this path will be used
|
|
when creating HTTPS URLs. Otherwise, the attachments|path value
|
|
will be used.
|
|
|
|
group
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Options for group functionality.
|
|
|
|
maxaliases: maximum number of aliases a group can have. Default 3. Set
|
|
to 0 or less to prevent aliases in a group.
|
|
desclimit: maximum number of characters to allow in group descriptions.
|
|
null (default) means to use the site-wide text limits. 0
|
|
means no limit.
|
|
addtag: Whether to add a tag for the group nickname for every group post
|
|
(pre-1.0.x behaviour). Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
oembed
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
oEmbed endpoint for multimedia attachments (links in posts). Will also
|
|
work as 'oohembed' for backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
endpoint: oohembed endpoint using http://oohembed.com/ software. Defaults to
|
|
'http://oohembed.com/oohembed/'.
|
|
order: Array of methods to check for OEmbed data. Methods include 'built-in'
|
|
(use a built-in function to simulate oEmbed for some sites),
|
|
'well-known' (use well-known public oEmbed endpoints),
|
|
'discovery' (discover using <link> headers in HTML), 'service' (use
|
|
a third-party service, like oohembed or embed.ly. Default is
|
|
array('built-in', 'well-known', 'service', 'discovery'). Note that very
|
|
few sites implement oEmbed; 'discovery' is going to fail 99% of the
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
search
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Some stuff for search.
|
|
|
|
type: type of search. Ignored if PostgreSQL or Sphinx are enabled. Can either
|
|
be 'fulltext' or 'like' (default). The former is faster and more efficient
|
|
but requires the lame old MyISAM engine for MySQL. The latter
|
|
will work with InnoDB but could be miserably slow on large
|
|
systems. We'll probably add another type sometime in the future,
|
|
with our own indexing system (maybe like MediaWiki's).
|
|
|
|
sessions
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Session handling.
|
|
|
|
handle: boolean. Whether we should register our own PHP session-handling
|
|
code (using the database and memcache if enabled). Defaults to false.
|
|
Setting this to true makes some sense on large or multi-server
|
|
sites, but it probably won't hurt for smaller ones, either.
|
|
debug: whether to output debugging info for session storage. Can help
|
|
with weird session bugs, sometimes. Default false.
|
|
|
|
background
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Users can upload backgrounds for their pages; this section defines
|
|
their use.
|
|
|
|
server: the server to use for background. Using a separate (even
|
|
virtual) server for this can speed up load times. Default is
|
|
null; same as site server.
|
|
dir: directory to write backgrounds too. Default is '/background/'
|
|
subdir of install dir.
|
|
path: path to backgrounds. Default is sub-path of install path; note
|
|
that you may need to change this if you change site-path too.
|
|
sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
|
|
unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
|
|
sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
|
|
|
|
ping
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Using the "XML-RPC Ping" method initiated by weblogs.com, the site can
|
|
notify third-party servers of updates.
|
|
|
|
notify: an array of URLs for ping endpoints. Default is the empty
|
|
array (no notification).
|
|
|
|
design
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Default design (colors and background) for the site. Actual appearance
|
|
depends on the theme. Null values mean to use the theme defaults.
|
|
|
|
backgroundcolor: Hex color of the site background.
|
|
contentcolor: Hex color of the content area background.
|
|
sidebarcolor: Hex color of the sidebar background.
|
|
textcolor: Hex color of all non-link text.
|
|
linkcolor: Hex color of all links.
|
|
backgroundimage: Image to use for the background.
|
|
disposition: Flags for whether or not to tile the background image.
|
|
|
|
notice
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Configuration options specific to notices.
|
|
|
|
contentlimit: max length of the plain-text content of a notice.
|
|
Default is null, meaning to use the site-wide text limit.
|
|
0 means no limit.
|
|
defaultscope: default scope for notices. If null, the default
|
|
scope depends on site/private. It's 1 if the site is private,
|
|
0 otherwise. Set this value to override.
|
|
|
|
message
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Configuration options specific to messages.
|
|
|
|
contentlimit: max length of the plain-text content of a message.
|
|
Default is null, meaning to use the site-wide text limit.
|
|
0 means no limit.
|
|
|
|
logincommand
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Configuration options for the login command.
|
|
|
|
disabled: whether to enable this command. If enabled, users who send
|
|
the text 'login' to the site through any channel will
|
|
receive a link to login to the site automatically in return.
|
|
Possibly useful for users who primarily use an XMPP or SMS
|
|
interface and can't be bothered to remember their site
|
|
password. Note that the security implications of this are
|
|
pretty serious and have not been thoroughly tested. You
|
|
should enable it only after you've convinced yourself that
|
|
it is safe. Default is 'false'.
|
|
|
|
singleuser
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
If an installation has only one user, this can simplify a lot of the
|
|
interface. It also makes the user's profile the root URL.
|
|
|
|
enabled: Whether to run in "single user mode". Default false.
|
|
nickname: nickname of the single user. If no nickname is specified,
|
|
the site owner account will be used (if present).
|
|
|
|
robotstxt
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
We put out a default robots.txt file to guide the processing of
|
|
Web crawlers. See http://www.robotstxt.org/ for more information
|
|
on the format of this file.
|
|
|
|
crawldelay: if non-empty, this value is provided as the Crawl-Delay:
|
|
for the robots.txt file. see http://ur1.ca/l5a0
|
|
for more information. Default is zero, no explicit delay.
|
|
disallow: Array of (virtual) directories to disallow. Default is 'main',
|
|
'search', 'message', 'settings', 'admin'. Ignored when site
|
|
is private, in which case the entire site ('/') is disallowed.
|
|
|
|
api
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Options for the Twitter-like API.
|
|
|
|
realm: HTTP Basic Auth realm (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617
|
|
for details). Some third-party tools like ping.fm want this to be
|
|
'Identi.ca API', so set it to that if you want to. default = null,
|
|
meaning 'something based on the site name'.
|
|
|
|
nofollow
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
We optionally put 'rel="nofollow"' on some links in some pages. The
|
|
following configuration settings let you fine-tune how or when things
|
|
are nofollowed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow for more
|
|
information on what 'nofollow' means.
|
|
|
|
subscribers: whether to nofollow links to subscribers on the profile
|
|
and personal pages. Default is true.
|
|
members: links to members on the group page. Default true.
|
|
peopletag: links to people listed in the peopletag page. Default true.
|
|
external: external links in notices. One of three values: 'sometimes',
|
|
'always', 'never'. If 'sometimes', then external links are not
|
|
nofollowed on profile, notice, and favorites page. Default is
|
|
'sometimes'.
|
|
|
|
url
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
These are some options for fine-tuning how and when the server will
|
|
shorten URLs.
|
|
|
|
shortener: URL shortening service to use by default. Users can override
|
|
individually. 'internal' by default.
|
|
maxurllength: If an URL is strictly longer than this limit, it will be
|
|
shortened. Note that the URL shortener service may return an
|
|
URL longer than this limit. Defaults to 100. Users can
|
|
override. If set to 0, all URLs will be shortened.
|
|
maxnoticelength: If a notice is strictly longer than this limit, all
|
|
URLs in the notice will be shortened. Users can override.
|
|
-1 means the text limit for notices.
|
|
|
|
router
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
We use a router class for mapping URLs to code. This section controls
|
|
how that router works.
|
|
|
|
cache: whether to cache the router in memcache (or another caching
|
|
mechanism). Defaults to true, but may be set to false for
|
|
developers (who might be actively adding pages, so won't want the
|
|
router cached) or others who see strange behavior. You're unlikely
|
|
to need this unless you're a developer.
|
|
|
|
http
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Settings for the HTTP client.
|
|
|
|
ssl_cafile: location of the CA file for SSL. If not set, won't verify
|
|
SSL peers. Default unset.
|
|
curl: Use cURL <http://curl.haxx.se/> for doing HTTP calls. You must
|
|
have the PHP curl extension installed for this to work.
|
|
proxy_host: Host to use for proxying HTTP requests. If unset, doesn't
|
|
do any HTTP proxy stuff. Default unset.
|
|
proxy_port: Port to use to connect to HTTP proxy host. Default null.
|
|
proxy_user: Username to use for authenticating to the HTTP proxy. Default null.
|
|
proxy_password: Password to use for authenticating to the HTTP proxy. Default null.
|
|
proxy_auth_scheme: Scheme to use for authenticating to the HTTP proxy. Default null.
|
|
|
|
plugins
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
default: associative array mapping plugin name to array of arguments. To disable
|
|
a default plugin, unset its value in this array.
|
|
locale_path: path for finding plugin locale files. In the plugin's directory
|
|
by default.
|
|
server: Server to find static files for a plugin when the page is plain old HTTP.
|
|
Defaults to site/server (same as pages). Use this to move plugin CSS and
|
|
JS files to a CDN.
|
|
sslserver: Server to find static files for a plugin when the page is HTTPS. Defaults
|
|
to site/server (same as pages). Use this to move plugin CSS and JS files
|
|
to a CDN.
|
|
path: Path to the plugin files. defaults to site/path + '/plugins/'. Expects that
|
|
each plugin will have a subdirectory at plugins/NameOfPlugin. Change this
|
|
if you're using a CDN.
|
|
sslpath: Path to use on the SSL server. Same as plugins/path.
|
|
|
|
performance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
high: if you need high performance, or if you're seeing bad
|
|
performance, set this to true. It will turn off some high-intensity code from
|
|
the site.
|
|
|
|
oldschool
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
enabled: enable certain old-style user settings options, like stream-only mode,
|
|
conversation trees, and nicknames in streams. Off by default, and
|
|
may not be well supported in future versions.
|
|
|
|
|
