Configuration

Configuration file

LANSuite's configuration file is written in the ini format and should be placed into inc/base/config.php.

An example configuration file looks like:

[lansuite]
default_design=simple
chmod_dir=777
chmod_file=666
debugmode=0

[database]
server=mysql
user=root
passwd=
database=lansuite
prefix=ls_
charset=utf8

Warning: Setting directories to 0777 is not suggested for production. Only your web server user should be able to write into this directory.

Configuration settings

Here you will find a detailed description of each configuration setting:

Section	Name	Type	Description
lansuite	default_design	string	Default design for the LANSuite instance. Users might be able to choose different designs. If no design is chosen, the default design is shown. Valid designs are simple, osX or Sunset
lansuite	chmod_dir	integer	Newly created directories will be changed to this Unix access pattern. E.g. 644 means read- and write access for the owner, read access for everyone else or 600 means read- and write access for the owner, nothing for everyone else.
lansuite	chmod_file	integer	Newly uploaded files will be changed to this Unix access pattern. E.g. 644 means read- and write access for the owner, read access for everyone else or 600 means read- and write access for the owner, nothing for everyone else.
lansuite	uid	string	Contains an auto-generated id to distinguish multiple instances of LanSuite when accessing shared ressources (e.g. cache ).
lansuite	debugmode	boolean	If it is enabled (1), errors will be shown with a full stack trace. This is useful for development and debugging purpose. In production, this should be disabled with 0.
database	server	string	The hostname / IP address of the database server. For example, localhost or mysql5.myhoster.com or 192.168.3.65
database	user	string	The username of the database user. LANSuite should have an own database user for the database connection.
database	passwd	string	The password for the database user.
database	database	string	The Name of the database which will be used by LANSuite. The user needs to have access to this database.
database	prefix	string	Prefix that will be used for every database table. Every table created by LANSuite will be prefixed with the value entered here. This is used to avoid table name collisions and you can run multiple LANSuite instances and applications in one database.
database	charset	string	MySQL supported character set to be used for the database connection. utf8 is the default value and should be fine for new installations. Older installations of LANSuite (e.g. release 4.2) may need to use latin1 to avoid display issues.
