| 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'. | ||||
| sslproxy: Whether to force GNUsocial to think it is HTTPS when the | ||||
|     server gives no such information. I.e. when you're using a reverse | ||||
|     proxy that adds the encryption layer but the webserver that runs PHP | ||||
|     isn't configured with a key and certificate. | ||||
| 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://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db-dataobject.intro-configuration.php>). | ||||
| 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. | ||||
| daemon: Wather to use queuedaemon. Defaults to false, which means | ||||
|     you'll use OpportunisticQM plugin. | ||||
| 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 <https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.1.4>, | ||||
|     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. 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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 false. | ||||
| restore: whether users can restore their profiles from backup files. Defaults | ||||
| 	 to false. | ||||
| 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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). | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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). | ||||
|  | ||||
| process_links: follow redirects and save all available file information | ||||
|     (mimetype, date, size, oembed, etc.). Defaults to true. | ||||
| 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. | ||||
| 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. | ||||
| show_thumbs: show thumbnails in notice lists for uploaded images, and photos | ||||
|     and videos linked remotely that provide oEmbed info. Defaults to true. | ||||
| show_html: show (filtered) text/html attachments (and oEmbed HTML etc.). | ||||
|     Doesn't affect AJAX calls. Defaults to false. | ||||
| filename_base: for new files, choose one: 'upload', 'hash'. Defaults to hash. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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 cache layers 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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). | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard#Crawl-delay_directive> | ||||
|     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 cache layers. 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 developing.. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| cache | ||||
| ----- | ||||
|  | ||||
| dir: A string path to a writable directory that will be used as temporary cache | ||||
|      for some functions (currently just the HtmlSanitizer). | ||||
|      If it is not set, the GNU social installation directory will be used. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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. | ||||

| Configuration options | ||||
| ================================================================================ | ||||
|  | ||||
| The main configuration file for GNU social (excepting configurations for | ||||
| dependency software) is config.php in your GNU social 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 | ||||
| GNU social. 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/GNU social/ | ||||
| directory on your server, if it exists. Config files will be included in this | ||||
| order: | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `/etc/GNU social/statusnet.php` - server-wide config | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `/etc/GNU social/<servername>.php` - for a virtual host | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `/etc/GNU social/<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` (string, required, default "Another GNU social Instance"): the name of | ||||
|     your site, like 'YourCompany Microblog'. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `server` (string, required, default null): the server part of your site's URLs, | ||||
|     like 'example.net'. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `path` (string, required, default ''): The path part of your site's URLs, like | ||||
|     'statusnet' or '' (installed in root). | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `fancy` (string, default false): whether or not your site uses fancy URLs (see Fancy URLs | ||||
|     section above). | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `logfile` (string, default './'): full path to a file for GNU social to save | ||||
|     logging information to. You may want to use this if you don't have access | ||||
|     to syslog. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `logdebug` (boolean, default false): whether to log additional debug info like | ||||
|     backtraces on hard errors. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `locale_path` (string, default null): 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` (string, default "en_us"): 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` (array, default null): 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` (string, default 'default'): 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` (string, required): contact email address for your site. By default, | ||||
|     it's extracted from your Web server environment; you may want to customize it. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `broughtbyurl` (string, default null): 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` (string, default null): text used for the "brought by" link. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `timezone` (string, default 'UTC'): default timezone for message display. Users | ||||
|     can set their own time zone. Defaults to 'UTC', which is a pretty good | ||||
|     default. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `closed` (boolean, default false): 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` (boolean, default false): If set to 'true', will only allow | ||||
|     registration if the user was invited by an existing user. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `private` (boolean, default false): 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` (string, default null): 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` (string, default null): URL of an image file to use as the logo for the | ||||
|     site. Overrides the logo in the theme, if any. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `ssllogo` (string, default null): URL of an image file to use as the logo on | ||||
|     SSL pages. If unset, theme logo is used instead. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `ssl` (enum['always','sometimes','never'], default 'never'): 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). | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `sslproxy` (boolean, default false): Whether to force GNUsocial to think it | ||||
|     is HTTPS when the server gives no such information. I.e. when you're using | ||||
|     a reverse proxy that adds the encryption layer but the webserver that runs | ||||
|     PHP isn't configured with a key and certificate. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `sslserver` (string, default null): 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `dupelimit` (integer, default 60): minimum time allowed for one person to say | ||||
|     the same thing twice. Default 60s. Anything lower is considered a user or | ||||
|     UI error. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `textlimit` (integer, default 0): default max size for texts in the site. Can | ||||
|     be fine-tuned for notices, messages, profile bios and group descriptions. | ||||
|     Zero indicates no limit. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| db | ||||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| This section is a reference to the configuration options for | ||||
| `DB_DataObject` (see | ||||
| <http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db-dataobject.intro-configuration.php>). | ||||
| The ones that you may want to set are listed below for clarity. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `database` (string, required, default null): a DSN (Data Source Name) for your | ||||
|     GNU social 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` (string, default null): 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`(enum['DB','MDB2'], default null): 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `quote_identifiers`(boolean, default false): Set this to true if you're using | ||||
|     postgresql. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `type` (enum["mysql", "postgresql"], default 'mysql'): Used for certain | ||||
|     database-specific optimization code.  Assumes mysql if not set.  MySQL also | ||||
|     covers MySQLi and MariaDB. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `mirror` (array, default null): you can set this to an array of DSNs, in the | ||||
|     format of 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` (boolean, true): 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` (enum["runtime", "script"], default "runtime"): when to let | ||||
|     plugins check the database schema to add tables or update them. '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 or has the access in their hosting environment to do so. If you can, | ||||
|     set this to 'script' and run scripts/checkschema.php whenever you install | ||||
|     or upgrade a plugin. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| syslog | ||||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| By default, GNU social sites log error messages to the syslog facility. | ||||
| (You can override this using the 'logfile' parameter described above). | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `appname` (string, default `'GNU social'`): The name that GNU social uses to log | ||||
|     messages. By default it's "GNU social", 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `facility` (string, default `'LOG_USER'`): what syslog facility to use. Only set | ||||
|     this 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` (boolean, default false): Whether to uses queues. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `daemon` (boolean, default false): Wather to use queuedaemon. False means | ||||
|     you'll use OpportunisticQM plugin. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `subsystem` (enum["db", "stomp"], default 'db'): Which kind of queueserver to | ||||
|     use. Values include "db" for our hacked-together database queuing (no | ||||
|     other server required), "stomp" for a stomp server, and "redis" for a Redis | ||||
| 	server. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `threads` (int): How many queue "threads" (actually processes) to run. Defaults to | ||||
|     number of cpu cores in unix-like systems or 1 on other OSes. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `items_to_handle` (int): How many items to handle before a daemon process exits. | ||||
|     Default to unlimited. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `stomp_server` (string, default null): "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` (string, default null): 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` (string, default null): username for connecting to the stomp | ||||
|     server. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `stomp_password` (string, default null): password for connecting to the stomp | ||||
|     server. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `stomp_persistent` (boolean, default true): Keep items across queue server | ||||
|     restart, if enabled.  Note: 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` (boolean, default true): 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` (boolean, default true): 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, (it breaks if | ||||
|     you do), but if using another message queue server that does not support | ||||
|     acknowledgements you might need to disable this. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `softlimit` (integer): 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` (boolean, default true): 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` (array, default null): 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` (integer, default 10): for stomp, drop messages after N failed | ||||
|     attempts to process. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `dead_letter_dir` (string, default null): for stomp, optional directory to dump | ||||
|     data on failed queue processing events after discarding them. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `stomp_no_transactions` (boolean, default false): 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` (boolean, default false): 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| As of 2016, this is largely disregarded in the Fediverse -mb | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `type` (enum["cc", "allrightsreserved", "private"], default 'cc'): one of | ||||
|     'cc' (for Creative Commons licenses), 'allrightsreserved' (default | ||||
|     copyright), or 'private' (for private and confidential information). | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `owner` (string, default 'contributors'): for 'allrightsreserved' or | ||||
|     'private', an assigned copyright holder (for example, an employer for a | ||||
|     private site). | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `url` (string, default null): URL of the license, used for links. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `title` (string, default null): Title for the license, like 'Creative Commons | ||||
|     Attribution 3.0'. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `image` (string, default null): URL of 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` (enum["mail", "sendmail", "smtp"], default 'mail'): The backend to | ||||
|    use for mail.  While this defaults to PEAR mail, we recommend SMTP where your | ||||
|    setup supports it as it is of the three the more difficult one for script | ||||
|    exploits to abuse (relatively speaking - they all have potential problems.) | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `params` (array, default null): if the mail backend requires any parameters, | ||||
|     you can provide them in an associative array. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `templates_path` (string, default null): alias for `site->mail_path` | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| nickname | ||||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| This is for configuring nicknames in the service. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `blacklist` (array, default null): an array of strings for usernames that | ||||
|     may not be registered. A hard-coded default array exists for strings that | ||||
|     are used by GNU social (e.g. 'doc', 'main', 'avatar', 'theme') but you may | ||||
|     want to add others if you have other software installed in a subdirectory | ||||
|     of GNU social or if you just don't want certain words used as usernames. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `featured` (array, default null): 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` (string, default './avatar'): 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` (string, 'default './avatar'): 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` (string, default null): 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 | ||||
|     <https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.1.4>, | ||||
|     so this can parallelize the job. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `ssl` (boolean, default null): 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` (boolean, default true): 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` (array, default null): 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` (array, default null): Sources of notices that are from automatic | ||||
|     posters, and thus should be kept off the public timeline. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| theme | ||||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `server` (string, default null): Like avatars, you can speed up page loading | ||||
|     by pointing the theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real). | ||||
|     The default of null will use the same server as PA. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `dir` (string, default "./themes"): 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` (string, default null): 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` (boolean, default null): Whether to use SSL for theme elements. Default | ||||
|     is null, which means guess based on site SSL settings. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `sslserver` (string, default null): SSL server to use when page is | ||||
|     HTTPS-encrypted. If unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `sslpath` (string, default null): If sslserver if defined, path to use when | ||||
|     page is HTTPS-encrypted. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| javascript | ||||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `server` (string, default null): 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` (string default null): Path part of Javascript URLs. Defaults to null, | ||||
|     which means to use the site path + '/js/'. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `ssl` (boolean, default null): Whether to use SSL for JavaScript files. | ||||
|     Default is null, which means guess based on site SSL settings. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `sslserver` (string, default null): SSL server to use when page is HTTPS- | ||||
|     encrypted. If unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `sslpath` (string, default null): If sslserver if defined, path to use when | ||||
|     page is HTTPS-encrypted. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `bustframes` (boolean, default true): If true, all web pages will break out of | ||||
|     framesets. If false, can comfortably live in a frame or iframe... probably. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| xmpp | ||||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||||
|  | ||||
| For configuring the XMPP sub-system. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `enabled` (boolean, default false): Whether to accept and send messages by | ||||
|     XMPP. Default false. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `server` (string, default null): Server part of XMPP ID for update user. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `port` (integer, default 5222): Connection port for clients. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `user` (string, default null): 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. Set this to the correct hostname if that's the | ||||
|     case with your server. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `encryption`: Whether to encrypt the connection between GNU social 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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, | ||||
|     GNU social 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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). | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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). | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `process_links`: follow redirects and save all available file information | ||||
|     (mimetype, date, size, oembed, etc.). Defaults to true. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `show_thumbs`: show thumbnails in notice lists for uploaded images, and photos | ||||
|     and videos linked remotely that provide oEmbed info. Defaults to true. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `show_html`: show (filtered) text/html attachments (and oEmbed HTML etc.). | ||||
|     Doesn't affect AJAX calls. Defaults to false. | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `filename_base`: for new files, choose one: 'upload', 'hash'. Defaults to hash. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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 cache layers 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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). | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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` (boolean, default true): Whether to run in "single user mode". | ||||
|  | ||||
| * `nickname` (string, default null): 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 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard#Crawl-delay_directive> | ||||
|     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 cache layers. 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 developing.. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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. | ||||
