!CONGO System Variables System Variables define how CONGO interracts with the system it's installed on, and how some basic operations work. For CONGO versions 2.0.x, this screen is available under Maintenance->Set Server Properties '''WARNING''' - In CONGO 2.0.x, making a change on the Server Properties screen may cause an error soon afterwards. The best practice is to restart the container (Tomcat or Jetty) after making changes to this screen. Even if there is an error thrown, the changes will be made. Variables: '''Database''' * '''Database Type'''\\ What type of database is in use. (MySQL, Oracle, etc) * '''Database Server'''\\ The full hostname of the server where the database instance lives. This must be resolveable from the webhost where CONGO is installed. * '''Database Name / User / Password'''\\ Settings for defining which database instance and what credentials to use. * '''Automatic Schema Upgrades'''\\ This should always be enabled - it allows CONGO to automatically alter the schema of it's database as new versions are installed. '''Login Options'''\\ * '''Default Conference'''\\ This is the event number that will be used for Coconut login screens, and what is used on the default 'public' interface. '''Paypal'''\\ If you are using Paypal, this section defines how CONGO will interract with Paypal's servers. |
