All of them have to end with `.config.php` and must not include `-sample` in their name.
Some examples of common known configuration files:
-- `local.config.php` holds the current node custom configuration.
-- `addon.config.php` is optional and holds the custom configuration for specific addons.
+- `local.config.php` holds the base node custom configuration.
+- Any other file in this folder is meant for addon configuration.
Addons can define their own default configuration values in `addon/[addon]/config/[addon].config.php` which is loaded when the addon is activated.
The legacy `.htconfig.php` configuration file is still supported, but is deprecated and will be removed in a subsequent Friendica release.
The migration is pretty straightforward:
-If you had any addon-specific configuration in your `.htconfig.php`, just copy `config/addon-sample.config.php` to `config/addon.config.php` and move your configuration values.
+If you had any addon-specific configuration in your `.htconfig.php`, copy `config/local-sample.config.php` to `config/addon.config.php` and move your configuration values.
Afterwards, copy `config/local-sample.config.php` to `config/local.config.php`, move the remaining configuration values to it according to the following conversion chart, then rename your `.htconfig.php` to check your node is working as expected before deleting it.

### Database Settings
-The configuration variables database.hostname, database.username, database.password, database.database and database.charset are holding your credentials for the database connection.
-If you need to specify a port to access the database, you can do so by appending ":portnumber" to the database.hostname variable.
+The configuration variables `database.hostname` (or `database.socket`), `database.username`, `database.password`, `database.database` and optionally `database.charset` are holding your credentials for the database connection.
+If you need to specify a port to access the database, you can do so by appending ":portnumber" to the `database.hostname` variable.
'database' => [
'hostname' => 'your.mysqlhost.com:123456',
