This file provides comments and documentation to the file "explain.json".
|
|
There are values in explain.json that you need to specify
|
|
for the operation of your "explain" server.
|
|
|
|
Why this file?
|
|
Because JSON does not support comments, the specification for
|
|
JSON format specifically excludes comments,
|
|
JSON files may only to contain data. See
|
|
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/244777/can-i-comment-a-json-file
|
|
|
|
title => This is not used, as far as I recall.
|
|
secret => This is used to encrypt cookie with
|
|
username/password. So it should be long, random
|
|
string.
|
|
database.dsn => the standard connection information
|
|
A) database name (case sensitive),
|
|
B) server or host
|
|
C) port - standard port for postgresql is 5432
|
|
database.username => you created this when you set up a role in
|
|
postgresql for this explain server
|
|
database.password => the password for database.username (optional)
|
|
|
|
mail_sender.from => From to be used by mails sent by contact form
|
|
mail_sender.to => Address which should receive mails sent by
|
|
contact form
|
|
mail_sender.subject => Subject for mails from contact form
|
|
|
|
hypnotoad.pid_file => /var/run is the standard place to store your pid
|
|
files; if you do not have access to /var/run,
|
|
then create in your home directory a branch
|
|
var/run and place it there. Example
|
|
~/var/run/explain.pid. Make sure you create the
|
|
directories, ~/var/run, before specifying this
|
|
alternate location.
