4 The main configuration file for StatusNet (excepting configurations for
5 dependency software) is config.php in your StatusNet directory. If you
6 edit any other file in the directory, like lib/default.php (where most
7 of the defaults are defined), you will lose your configuration options
8 in any upgrade, and you will wish that you had been more careful.
10 Starting with version 0.9.0, a Web based configuration panel has been
11 added to StatusNet. The preferred method for changing config options is
14 A command-line script, setconfig.php, can be used to set individual
15 configuration options. It's in the scripts/ directory.
17 Starting with version 0.7.1, you can put config files in the
18 /etc/statusnet/ directory on your server, if it exists. Config files
19 will be included in this order:
21 * /etc/statusnet/statusnet.php - server-wide config
22 * /etc/statusnet/<servername>.php - for a virtual host
23 * /etc/statusnet/<servername>_<pathname>.php - for a path
24 * INSTALLDIR/config.php - for a particular implementation
26 Almost all configuration options are made through a two-dimensional
27 associative array, cleverly named $config. A typical configuration
30 $config['section']['option'] = value;
32 For brevity, the following documentation describes each section and
38 This section is a catch-all for site-wide variables.
40 name: the name of your site, like 'YourCompany Microblog'.
41 server: the server part of your site's URLs, like 'example.net'.
42 path: The path part of your site's URLs, like 'statusnet' or ''
44 fancy: whether or not your site uses fancy URLs (see Fancy URLs
45 section above). Default is false.
46 logfile: full path to a file for StatusNet to save logging
47 information to. You may want to use this if you don't have
49 logdebug: whether to log additional debug info like backtraces on
50 hard errors. Default false.
51 locale_path: full path to the directory for locale data. Unless you
52 store all your locale data in one place, you probably
53 don't need to use this.
54 language: default language for your site. Defaults to US English.
55 Note that this is overridden if a user is logged in and has
56 selected a different language. It is also overridden if the
57 user is NOT logged in, but their browser requests a different
58 langauge. Since pretty much everybody's browser requests a
59 language, that means that changing this setting has little or
60 no effect in practice.
61 languages: A list of languages supported on your site. Typically you'd
62 only change this if you wanted to disable support for one
64 "unset($config['site']['languages']['de'])" will disable
66 theme: Theme for your site (see Theme section). Two themes are
67 provided by default: 'default' and 'stoica' (the one used by
68 Identi.ca). It's appreciated if you don't use the 'stoica' theme
69 except as the basis for your own.
70 email: contact email address for your site. By default, it's extracted
71 from your Web server environment; you may want to customize it.
72 broughtbyurl: name of an organization or individual who provides the
73 service. Each page will include a link to this name in the
74 footer. A good way to link to the blog, forum, wiki,
75 corporate portal, or whoever is making the service available.
76 broughtby: text used for the "brought by" link.
77 timezone: default timezone for message display. Users can set their
78 own time zone. Defaults to 'UTC', which is a pretty good default.
79 closed: If set to 'true', will disallow registration on your site.
80 This is a cheap way to restrict accounts to only one
81 individual or group; just register the accounts you want on
82 the service, *then* set this variable to 'true'.
83 inviteonly: If set to 'true', will only allow registration if the user
84 was invited by an existing user.
85 private: If set to 'true', anonymous users will be redirected to the
86 'login' page. Also, API methods that normally require no
87 authentication will require it. Note that this does not turn
88 off registration; use 'closed' or 'inviteonly' for the
90 notice: A plain string that will appear on every page. A good place
91 to put introductory information about your service, or info about
92 upgrades and outages, or other community info. Any HTML will
94 logo: URL of an image file to use as the logo for the site. Overrides
95 the logo in the theme, if any.
96 ssllogo: URL of an image file to use as the logo on SSL pages. If unset,
97 theme logo is used instead.
98 ssl: Whether to use SSL and https:// URLs for some or all pages.
99 Possible values are 'always' (use it for all pages), 'never'
100 (don't use it for any pages), or 'sometimes' (use it for
101 sensitive pages that include passwords like login and registration,
102 but not for regular pages). Default to 'never'.
103 sslproxy: Whether to force GNUsocial to think it is HTTPS when the
104 server gives no such information. I.e. when you're using a reverse
105 proxy that adds the encryption layer but the webserver that runs PHP
106 isn't configured with a key and certificate.
107 sslserver: use an alternate server name for SSL URLs, like
108 'secure.example.org'. You should be careful to set cookie
109 parameters correctly so that both the SSL server and the
110 "normal" server can access the session cookie and
111 preferably other cookies as well.
112 shorturllength: ignored. See 'url' section below.
113 dupelimit: minimum time allowed for one person to say the same thing
114 twice. Default 60s. Anything lower is considered a user
116 textlimit: default max size for texts in the site. Defaults to 0 (no limit).
117 Can be fine-tuned for notices, messages, profile bios and group descriptions.
122 This section is a reference to the configuration options for
124 <http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db-dataobject.intro-configuration.php>).
125 The ones that you may want to set are listed below for clarity.
127 database: a DSN (Data Source Name) for your StatusNet database. This is
128 in the format 'protocol://username:password@hostname/databasename',
129 where 'protocol' is 'mysql' or 'mysqli' (or possibly 'postgresql', if you
130 really know what you're doing), 'username' is the username,
131 'password' is the password, and etc.
132 ini_yourdbname: if your database is not named 'statusnet', you'll need
133 to set this to point to the location of the
134 statusnet.ini file. Note that the real name of your database
135 should go in there, not literally 'yourdbname'.
136 db_driver: You can try changing this to 'MDB2' to use the other driver
137 type for DB_DataObject, but note that it breaks the OpenID
138 libraries, which only support PEAR::DB.
139 debug: On a database error, you may get a message saying to set this
140 value to 5 to see debug messages in the browser. This breaks
141 just about all pages, and will also expose the username and
143 quote_identifiers: Set this to true if you're using postgresql.
144 type: either 'mysql' or 'postgresql' (used for some bits of
145 database-type-specific SQL in the code). Defaults to mysql.
146 mirror: you can set this to an array of DSNs, like the above
147 'database' value. If it's set, certain read-only actions will
148 use a random value out of this array for the database, rather
149 than the one in 'database' (actually, 'database' is overwritten).
150 You can offload a busy DB server by setting up MySQL replication
151 and adding the slaves to this array. Note that if you want some
152 requests to go to the 'database' (master) server, you'll need
153 to include it in this array, too.
154 utf8: whether to talk to the database in UTF-8 mode. This is the default
155 with new installations, but older sites may want to turn it off
156 until they get their databases fixed up. See "UTF-8 database"
158 schemacheck: when to let plugins check the database schema to add
159 tables or update them. Values can be 'runtime' (default)
160 or 'script'. 'runtime' can be costly (plugins check the
161 schema on every hit, adding potentially several db
162 queries, some quite long), but not everyone knows how to
163 run a script. If you can, set this to 'script' and run
164 scripts/checkschema.php whenever you install or upgrade a
170 By default, StatusNet sites log error messages to the syslog facility.
171 (You can override this using the 'logfile' parameter described above).
173 appname: The name that StatusNet uses to log messages. By default it's
174 "statusnet", but if you have more than one installation on the
175 server, you may want to change the name for each instance so
176 you can track log messages more easily.
177 priority: level to log at. Currently ignored.
178 facility: what syslog facility to used. Defaults to LOG_USER, only
179 reset if you know what syslog is and have a good reason
185 You can configure the software to queue time-consuming tasks, like
186 sending out SMS email or XMPP messages, for off-line processing. See
187 'Queues and daemons' above for how to set this up.
189 enabled: Whether to uses queues. Defaults to false.
190 daemon: Wather to use queuedaemon. Defaults to false, which means
191 you'll use OpportunisticQM plugin.
192 subsystem: Which kind of queueserver to use. Values include "db" for
193 our hacked-together database queuing (no other server
194 required) and "stomp" for a stomp server.
195 stomp_server: "broker URI" for stomp server. Something like
196 "tcp://hostname:61613". More complicated ones are
197 possible; see your stomp server's documentation for
199 queue_basename: a root name to use for queues (stomp only). Typically
200 something like '/queue/sitename/' makes sense. If running
201 multiple instances on the same server, make sure that
202 either this setting or $config['site']['nickname'] are
203 unique for each site to keep them separate.
205 stomp_username: username for connecting to the stomp server; defaults
207 stomp_password: password for connecting to the stomp server; defaults
210 stomp_persistent: keep items across queue server restart, if enabled.
211 Under ActiveMQ, the server configuration determines if and how
212 persistent storage is actually saved.
214 If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
215 need to disable this if it does not support persistence.
217 stomp_transactions: use transactions to aid in error detection.
218 A broken transaction will be seen quickly, allowing a message
219 to be redelivered immediately if a daemon crashes.
221 If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
222 need to disable this if it does not support transactions.
224 stomp_acks: send acknowledgements to aid in flow control.
225 An acknowledgement of successful processing tells the server
226 we're ready for more and can help keep things moving smoothly.
228 This should *not* be turned off when running with ActiveMQ, but
229 if using another message queue server that does not support
230 acknowledgements you might need to disable this.
232 softlimit: an absolute or relative "soft memory limit"; daemons will
233 restart themselves gracefully when they find they've hit
234 this amount of memory usage. Defaults to 90% of PHP's global
235 memory_limit setting.
237 inboxes: delivery of messages to receiver's inboxes can be delayed to
238 queue time for best interactive performance on the sender.
239 This may however be annoyingly slow when using the DB queues,
240 so you can set this to false if it's causing trouble.
242 breakout: for stomp, individual queues are by default grouped up for
243 best scalability. If some need to be run by separate daemons,
244 etc they can be manually adjusted here.
246 Default will share all queues for all sites within each group.
247 Specify as <group>/<queue> or <group>/<queue>/<site>,
248 using nickname identifier as site.
250 'main/distrib' separate "distrib" queue covering all sites
251 'xmpp/xmppout/mysite' separate "xmppout" queue covering just 'mysite'
253 max_retries: for stomp, drop messages after N failed attempts to process.
256 dead_letter_dir: for stomp, optional directory to dump data on failed
257 queue processing events after discarding them.
259 stomp_no_transactions: for stomp, the server does not support transactions,
260 so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
262 stomp_no_acks: for stomp, the server does not support acknowledgements.
263 so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
268 The default license to use for your users notices. The default is the
269 Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, which is probably the right
270 choice for any public site. Note that some other servers will not
271 accept notices if you apply a stricter license than this.
273 type: one of 'cc' (for Creative Commons licenses), 'allrightsreserved'
274 (default copyright), or 'private' (for private and confidential
276 owner: for 'allrightsreserved' or 'private', an assigned copyright
277 holder (for example, an employer for a private site). If
278 not specified, will be attributed to 'contributors'.
279 url: URL of the license, used for links.
280 title: Title for the license, like 'Creative Commons Attribution 3.0'.
281 image: A button shown on each page for the license.
286 This is for configuring out-going email. We use PEAR's Mail module,
287 see: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php
289 backend: the backend to use for mail, one of 'mail', 'sendmail', and
290 'smtp'. Defaults to PEAR's default, 'mail'.
291 params: if the mail backend requires any parameters, you can provide
292 them in an associative array.
297 This is for configuring nicknames in the service.
299 blacklist: an array of strings for usernames that may not be
300 registered. A default array exists for strings that are
301 used by StatusNet (e.g. 'doc', 'main', 'avatar', 'theme')
302 but you may want to add others if you have other software
303 installed in a subdirectory of StatusNet or if you just
304 don't want certain words used as usernames.
305 featured: an array of nicknames of 'featured' users of the site.
306 Can be useful to draw attention to well-known users, or
307 interesting people, or whatever.
312 For configuring avatar access.
314 dir: Directory to look for avatar files and to put them into.
315 Defaults to avatar subdirectory of install directory; if
316 you change it, make sure to change path, too.
317 path: Path to avatars. Defaults to path for avatar subdirectory,
318 but you can change it if you wish. Note that this will
319 be included with the avatar server, too.
320 server: If set, defines another server where avatars are stored in the
321 root directory. Note that the 'avatar' subdir still has to be
322 writeable. You'd typically use this to split HTTP requests on
323 the client to speed up page loading, either with another
324 virtual server or with an NFS or SAMBA share. Clients
325 typically only make 2 connections to a single server at a
326 time <https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.1.4>,
327 so this can parallelize the job. Defaults to null.
328 ssl: Whether to access avatars using HTTPS. Defaults to null, meaning
329 to guess based on site-wide SSL settings.
334 For configuring the public stream.
336 localonly: If set to true, only messages posted by users of this
337 service (rather than other services, filtered through OStatus)
338 are shown in the public stream. Default true.
339 blacklist: An array of IDs of users to hide from the public stream.
340 Useful if you have someone making excessive Twitterfeed posts
341 to the site, other kinds of automated posts, testing bots, etc.
342 autosource: Sources of notices that are from automatic posters, and thus
343 should be kept off the public timeline. Default empty.
348 server: Like avatars, you can speed up page loading by pointing the
349 theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real).
350 Defaults to NULL, meaning to use the site server.
351 dir: Directory where theme files are stored. Used to determine
352 whether to show parts of a theme file. Defaults to the theme
353 subdirectory of the install directory.
354 path: Path part of theme URLs, before the theme name. Relative to the
355 theme server. It may make sense to change this path when upgrading,
356 (using version numbers as the path) to make sure that all files are
357 reloaded by caching clients or proxies. Defaults to null,
358 which means to use the site path + '/theme'.
359 ssl: Whether to use SSL for theme elements. Default is null, which means
360 guess based on site SSL settings.
361 sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
362 unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
363 sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
368 server: You can speed up page loading by pointing the
369 theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real).
370 Defaults to NULL, meaning to use the site server.
371 path: Path part of Javascript URLs. Defaults to null,
372 which means to use the site path + '/js/'.
373 ssl: Whether to use SSL for JavaScript files. Default is null, which means
374 guess based on site SSL settings.
375 sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
376 unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
377 sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
378 bustframes: If true, all web pages will break out of framesets. If false,
379 can comfortably live in a frame or iframe... probably. Default
385 For configuring the XMPP sub-system.
387 enabled: Whether to accept and send messages by XMPP. Default false.
388 server: server part of XMPP ID for update user.
389 port: connection port for clients. Default 5222, which you probably
390 shouldn't need to change.
391 user: username for the client connection. Users will receive messages
392 from 'user'@'server'.
393 resource: a unique identifier for the connection to the server. This
394 is actually used as a prefix for each XMPP component in the system.
395 password: password for the user account.
396 host: some XMPP domains are served by machines with a different
397 hostname. Set this to the correct hostname if that's the
398 case with your server.
399 encryption: Whether to encrypt the connection between StatusNet and the
400 XMPP server. Defaults to true, but you can get
401 considerably better performance turning it off if you're
402 connecting to a server on the same machine or on a
404 debug: if turned on, this will make the XMPP library blurt out all of
405 the incoming and outgoing messages as XML stanzas. Use as a
406 last resort, and never turn it on if you don't have queues
407 enabled, since it will spit out sensitive data to the browser.
408 public: an array of JIDs to send _all_ notices to. This is useful for
409 participating in third-party search and archiving services.
414 For configuring invites.
416 enabled: Whether to allow users to send invites. Default true.
421 Miscellaneous tagging stuff.
423 dropoff: Decay factor for tag listing, in seconds.
424 Defaults to exponential decay over ten days; you can twiddle
425 with it to try and get better results for your site.
430 Settings for the "popular" section of the site.
432 dropoff: Decay factor for popularity listing, in seconds.
433 Defaults to exponential decay over ten days; you can twiddle
434 with it to try and get better results for your site.
439 For daemon processes.
441 piddir: directory that daemon processes should write their PID file
442 (process ID) to. Defaults to /var/run/, which is where this
443 stuff should usually go on Unix-ish systems.
444 user: If set, the daemons will try to change their effective user ID
445 to this user before running. Probably a good idea, especially if
446 you start the daemons as root. Note: user name, like 'daemon',
448 group: If set, the daemons will try to change their effective group ID
449 to this named group. Again, a name, not a numerical ID.
456 enabled: Whether to enable post-by-email. Defaults to true. You will
457 also need to set up maildaemon.php.
464 enabled: Whether to enable SMS integration. Defaults to true. Queues
465 should also be enabled.
470 A catch-all for integration with other systems.
472 taguri: base for tag:// URIs. Defaults to site-server + ',2009'.
479 enabled: No longer used. If you set this to something other than true,
480 StatusNet will no longer run.
485 For notice-posting throttles.
487 enabled: Whether to throttle posting. Defaults to false.
488 count: Each user can make this many posts in 'timespan' seconds. So, if count
489 is 100 and timespan is 3600, then there can be only 100 posts
490 from a user every hour.
491 timespan: see 'count'.
498 biolimit: max character length of bio; 0 means no limit; null means to use
499 the site text limit default.
500 backup: whether users can backup their own profiles. Defaults to false.
501 restore: whether users can restore their profiles from backup files. Defaults
503 delete: whether users can delete their own accounts. Defaults to false.
504 move: whether users can move their accounts to another server. Defaults
510 Options with new users.
512 default: nickname of a user account to automatically subscribe new
513 users to. Typically this would be system account for e.g.
514 service updates or announcements. Users are able to unsub
515 if they want. Default is null; no auto subscribe.
516 welcome: nickname of a user account that sends welcome messages to new
517 users. Can be the same as 'default' account, although on
518 busy servers it may be a good idea to keep that one just for
519 'urgent' messages. Default is null; no message.
521 If either of these special user accounts are specified, the users should
522 be created before the configuration is updated.
527 The software lets users upload files with their notices. You can configure
528 the types of accepted files by mime types and a trio of quota options:
529 per file, per user (total), per user per month.
531 We suggest the use of the pecl file_info extension to handle mime type
534 supported: an array of mime types you accept to store and distribute,
535 like 'image/gif', 'video/mpeg', 'audio/mpeg', etc. Make sure you
536 setup your server to properly recognize the types you want to
538 uploads: false to disable uploading files with notices (true by default).
540 For quotas, be sure you've set the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
541 in php.ini to be large enough to handle your upload. In httpd.conf
542 (if you're using apache), check that the LimitRequestBody directive isn't
543 set too low (it's optional, so it may not be there at all).
545 process_links: follow redirects and save all available file information
546 (mimetype, date, size, oembed, etc.). Defaults to true.
547 file_quota: maximum size for a single file upload in bytes. A user can send
548 any amount of notices with attachments as long as each attachment
549 is smaller than file_quota.
550 user_quota: total size in bytes a user can store on this server. Each user
551 can store any number of files as long as their total size does
552 not exceed the user_quota.
553 monthly_quota: total size permitted in the current month. This is the total
554 size in bytes that a user can upload each month.
555 dir: directory accessible to the Web process where uploads should go.
556 Defaults to the 'file' subdirectory of the install directory, which
557 should be writeable by the Web user.
558 server: server name to use when creating URLs for uploaded files.
559 Defaults to null, meaning to use the default Web server. Using
560 a virtual server here can speed up Web performance.
561 path: URL path, relative to the server, to find files. Defaults to
562 main path + '/file/'.
563 ssl: whether to use HTTPS for file URLs. Defaults to null, meaning to
564 guess based on other SSL settings.
565 sslserver: if specified, this server will be used when creating HTTPS
566 URLs. Otherwise, the site SSL server will be used, with /file/ path.
567 sslpath: if this and the sslserver are specified, this path will be used
568 when creating HTTPS URLs. Otherwise, the attachments|path value
570 show_thumbs: show thumbnails in notice lists for uploaded images, and photos
571 and videos linked remotely that provide oEmbed info. Defaults to true.
572 show_html: show (filtered) text/html attachments (and oEmbed HTML etc.).
573 Doesn't affect AJAX calls. Defaults to false.
574 filename_base: for new files, choose one: 'upload', 'hash'. Defaults to hash.
579 Options for group functionality.
581 maxaliases: maximum number of aliases a group can have. Default 3. Set
582 to 0 or less to prevent aliases in a group.
583 desclimit: maximum number of characters to allow in group descriptions.
584 null (default) means to use the site-wide text limits. 0
586 addtag: Whether to add a tag for the group nickname for every group post
587 (pre-1.0.x behaviour). Defaults to false.
592 Some stuff for search.
594 type: type of search. Ignored if PostgreSQL or Sphinx are enabled. Can either
595 be 'fulltext' or 'like' (default). The former is faster and more efficient
596 but requires the lame old MyISAM engine for MySQL. The latter
597 will work with InnoDB but could be miserably slow on large
598 systems. We'll probably add another type sometime in the future,
599 with our own indexing system (maybe like MediaWiki's).
606 handle: boolean. Whether we should register our own PHP session-handling
607 code (using the database and cache layers if enabled). Defaults to false.
608 Setting this to true makes some sense on large or multi-server
609 sites, but it probably won't hurt for smaller ones, either.
610 debug: whether to output debugging info for session storage. Can help
611 with weird session bugs, sometimes. Default false.
616 Using the "XML-RPC Ping" method initiated by weblogs.com, the site can
617 notify third-party servers of updates.
619 notify: an array of URLs for ping endpoints. Default is the empty
620 array (no notification).
625 Configuration options specific to notices.
627 contentlimit: max length of the plain-text content of a notice.
628 Default is null, meaning to use the site-wide text limit.
630 defaultscope: default scope for notices. If null, the default
631 scope depends on site/private. It's 1 if the site is private,
632 0 otherwise. Set this value to override.
637 Configuration options specific to messages.
639 contentlimit: max length of the plain-text content of a message.
640 Default is null, meaning to use the site-wide text limit.
646 Configuration options for the login command.
648 disabled: whether to enable this command. If enabled, users who send
649 the text 'login' to the site through any channel will
650 receive a link to login to the site automatically in return.
651 Possibly useful for users who primarily use an XMPP or SMS
652 interface and can't be bothered to remember their site
653 password. Note that the security implications of this are
654 pretty serious and have not been thoroughly tested. You
655 should enable it only after you've convinced yourself that
656 it is safe. Default is 'false'.
661 If an installation has only one user, this can simplify a lot of the
662 interface. It also makes the user's profile the root URL.
664 enabled: Whether to run in "single user mode". Default false.
665 nickname: nickname of the single user. If no nickname is specified,
666 the site owner account will be used (if present).

673 on the format of this file.
675 crawldelay: if non-empty, this value is provided as the Crawl-Delay:
676 for the robots.txt file. see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard#Crawl-delay_directive>
677 for more information. Default is zero, no explicit delay.
678 disallow: Array of (virtual) directories to disallow. Default is 'main',
679 'search', 'message', 'settings', 'admin'. Ignored when site
680 is private, in which case the entire site ('/') is disallowed.
685 Options for the Twitter-like API.
687 realm: HTTP Basic Auth realm (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617
688 for details). Some third-party tools like ping.fm want this to be
689 'Identi.ca API', so set it to that if you want to. default = null,
690 meaning 'something based on the site name'.
695 We optionally put 'rel="nofollow"' on some links in some pages. The
696 following configuration settings let you fine-tune how or when things
697 are nofollowed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow for more
698 information on what 'nofollow' means.
700 subscribers: whether to nofollow links to subscribers on the profile
701 and personal pages. Default is true.

718 shortened. Note that the URL shortener service may return an
719 URL longer than this limit. Defaults to 100. Users can
720 override. If set to 0, all URLs will be shortened.
721 maxnoticelength: If a notice is strictly longer than this limit, all
722 URLs in the notice will be shortened. Users can override.
723 -1 means the text limit for notices.
728 We use a router class for mapping URLs to code. This section controls
729 how that router works.
731 cache: whether to cache the router in cache layers. Defaults to true,
732 but may be set to false for developers (who might be actively
733 adding pages, so won't want the router cached) or others who see
734 strange behavior. You're unlikely to need this unless developing..
739 Settings for the HTTP client.
741 ssl_cafile: location of the CA file for SSL. If not set, won't verify
742 SSL peers. Default unset.
743 curl: Use cURL <http://curl.haxx.se/> for doing HTTP calls. You must

759 server: Server to find static files for a plugin when the page is plain old HTTP.
760 Defaults to site/server (same as pages). Use this to move plugin CSS and
762 sslserver: Server to find static files for a plugin when the page is HTTPS. Defaults
763 to site/server (same as pages). Use this to move plugin CSS and JS files
765 path: Path to the plugin files. defaults to site/path + '/plugins/'. Expects that
766 each plugin will have a subdirectory at plugins/NameOfPlugin. Change this
767 if you're using a CDN.
768 sslpath: Path to use on the SSL server. Same as plugins/path.
773 high: if you need high performance, or if you're seeing bad
774 performance, set this to true. It will turn off some high-intensity code from
780 dir: A string path to a writable directory that will be used as temporary cache
781 for some functions (currently just the HtmlSanitizer).
782 If it is not set, the GNU social installation directory will be used.
