(This information is taken from Paypal's Site? - Their URLS change constantly, so it is reproduced here: Obtaining API Credentials To use the PayPal? API, you must have API credentials that identify you as a PayPal? Business account holder who is authorized to perform various API operations. Although you can use either an API signature or a certificate for credentials, PayPal? recommends you use a signature.

IMPORTANT:Although you can have both a signature and certificate, you cannot use both at the same time.

Creating an API Signature An API signature consists of an API username along with an associated API password and signature, all of which are assigned by PayPal?. You need to include this information whenever you execute a PayPal? API operation.

You must have a PayPal? Business account to create a signature.

To create an API signature:

• Log into PayPal?, then click Profile under My Account.
• Click API Access.
• Click Request API Credentials.
• Check Request API signature and click Agree and Submit.

• Enable Paypal payments
  Should this installation of CONGO allow payments via Paypal?
• Paypal mode
  Are we in Production or Testing mode?
• Paypal server to use
  This option should be set to match the above mode. It tells CONGO which Paypal servers to contact to make payments.
• URL of this install
  This is very important. This is the URL that the Paypal service will redirect to after a payment is completed. It should be the URL of this CONGO install, at the top level (the page most folks would go to to register). An example would be http://my.eventpage.com/
• Paypal Username and Password
  The login credentials for your Paypal merchant account.
• Paypal Signature
  In order for CONGO to make payments, a Paypal 'signature' is required on your Paypal account. In order to get a signature,

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.
