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' (default) or 'like'. 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
---
Everybody loves URL shorteners. These are some options for fine-tuning
how and when the server shortens URLs.
shortener: URL shortening service to use by default. Users can override
individually. 'ur1.ca' by default.
maxlength: 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 25. 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.
