2 About Vanilla Configuration
\r
3 ===========================
\r
5 All customizations to Vanilla configuration settings should be done in this
\r
6 conf (short for "Configuration") folder. After you run the Vanilla installer,
\r
7 this conf folder should contain four files:
\r
11 The database.php file contains any Vanilla configuration settings specific to
\r
12 your database. For example, your database host name, database name, database
\r
13 login and database password. It can also contain custom database array
\r
14 structure definitions (don't worry if you don't know what those are).
\r
16 If you want your installation to be extra secure, you can move your
\r
17 database.php file to a non-web-accessable directory and change the path to
\r
18 the file in your conf/settings.php file with the DATABASE_PATH configuration
\r
23 This file contains all enabled extensions in your Vanilla installation. The
\r
24 file is completely erased and rebuilt when extensions are added to or removed
\r
25 from your Vanilla installation. If you enable an extension that has bugs
\r
26 which prevent the extension management from working, you can edit this file
\r
27 and remove the offending extension.
\r
31 This file is not edited by Vanilla in any way. It's purpose is to allow you
\r
32 to re-define language definitions made in
\r
33 /languages/yourlanguage/definitions.php. You should NEVER edit the files in
\r
34 your /languages folder. You should always copy the definition you want to
\r
35 change into this file and edit it here.
\r
39 This is the main settings file where most of your custom configuration
\r
40 settings should go. Vanilla will use this file when making settings changes
\r
41 through various forms in the application, and you can feel free to manually
\r
42 make changes in here as well.
