32 //=========================================================================
33 // 1. DATABASE SETUP
34 //=========================================================================
35 // First, you need to configure the database where all Moodle data //
36 // will be stored. This database must already have been created //
37 // and a username/password created to access it. //
38 // //
39 // mysql - the prefix is optional, but useful when installing //
40 // into databases that already contain tables. //
42 // postgres7 - the prefix is REQUIRED, regardless of whether the //
43 // database already contains tables. //
44 // //
45 // A special case exists when using PostgreSQL databases via sockets. //
46 // Define dbhost as follows, leaving dbname, dbuser, dbpass BLANK!: //
47 // $CFG->dbhost = " user='muser' password='mpass' dbname='mdata'"; //
50 $CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; // mysql or postgres7 (for now)
51 $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; // eg localhost or db.isp.com
52 $CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; // database name, eg moodle
53 $CFG->dbuser = 'username'; // your database username
54 $CFG->dbpass = 'password'; // your database password
55 $CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; // Prefix to use for all table names
57 $CFG->dbpersist = false; // Should database connections be reused?
58 // "false" is the most stable setting
59 // "true" can improve performance sometimes
62 //=========================================================================
63 // 2. WEB SITE LOCATION
64 //=========================================================================
65 // Now you need to tell Moodle where it is located. Specify the full
66 // web address to where moodle has been installed. If your web site
67 // is accessible via multiple URLs then choose the most natural one
68 // that your students would use. Do not include a trailing slash
70 $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://example.com/moodle';
73 //=========================================================================
74 // 3. SERVER FILES LOCATION
75 //=========================================================================
76 // Next, specify the full OS directory path to this same location
77 // Make sure the upper/lower case is correct. Some examples:
79 // $CFG->dirroot = 'c:\program files\easyphp\www\moodle'; // Windows
80 // $CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle'; // Redhat Linux
81 // $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/public_html/moodle'; // Cpanel host
83 $CFG->dirroot = '/home/example/public_html/moodle';
86 //=========================================================================
87 // 4. DATA FILES LOCATION
88 //=========================================================================
89 // Now you need a place where Moodle can save uploaded files. This
90 // directory should be readable AND WRITEABLE by the web server user
91 // (usually 'nobody' or 'apache'), but it should not be accessible
92 // directly via the web.
94 // - On hosting systems you might need to make sure that your "group" has
95 // no permissions at all, but that "others" have full permissions.
97 // - On Windows systems you might specify something like 'c:\moodledata'
99 $CFG->dataroot = '/home/example/moodledata';
102 //=========================================================================
103 // 5. DATA FILES PERMISSIONS
104 //=========================================================================
105 // The following parameter sets the permissions of new directories
106 // created by Moodle within the data directory. The format is in
107 // octal format (as used by the Unix utility chmod, for example).
108 // The default is usually OK, but you may want to change it to 0750
109 // if you are concerned about world-access to the files (you will need
110 // to make sure the web server process (eg Apache) can access the files.
111 // NOTE: the prefixed 0 is important, and don't use quotes.
113 $CFG->directorypermissions = 02777;
116 //=========================================================================
117 // 6. DIRECTORY LOCATION (most people can just ignore this setting)
118 //=========================================================================
119 // A very few webhosts use /admin as a special URL for you to access a
120 // control panel or something. Unfortunately this conflicts with the
121 // standard location for the Moodle admin pages. You can fix this by
122 // renaming the admin directory in your installation, and putting that
123 // new name here. eg "moodleadmin". This will fix admin links in Moodle.
125 $CFG->admin = 'admin';
128 //=========================================================================
129 // 7. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS (ignore these for new installations)
130 //=========================================================================
132 // These are additional tweaks for which no GUI exists in Moodle yet.
135 // Prevent users from updating their profile images
136 // $CFG->disableuserimages = true;
138 // Prevent scheduled backups from operating (and hide the GUI for them)
139 // Useful for webhost operators who have alternate methods of backups
140 // $CFG->disablescheduledbackups = true;
142 // Restrict certain usernames from doing things that may mess up a site
143 // This is especially useful for demonstration teacher accounts
144 // $CFG->restrictusers = 'teacher,fred,jim';
146 // Set global password for "Login as", teacher is prompted only once in each session.
147 // Set your own password and tell it only to teachers that should have access to this feature.
148 // $CFG->loginaspassword = 'yoursharedpassword';
150 // Setting this to true will enable admins to edit any post at any time
151 // $CFG->admineditalways = true;
153 // These variables define DEFAULT block variables for new courses
154 // If this one is set it overrides all others and is the only one used.
155 // $CFG->defaultblocks_override = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,admin,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';
157 // These variables define the specific settings for defined course formats.
158 // They override any settings defined in the formats own config file.
159 // $CFG->defaultblocks_site = 'site_main_menu,admin,course_list:course_summary,calendar_month';
160 // $CFG->defaultblocks_social = 'participants,search_forums,calendar_month,calendar_upcoming,social_activities,recent_activity,admin,course_list';
161 // $CFG->defaultblocks_topics = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,admin,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';
162 // $CFG->defaultblocks_weeks = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,admin,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';
164 // These blocks are used when no other default setting is found.
165 // $CFG->defaultblocks = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,admin,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';
168 // This setting will put Moodle in Unicode mode. Please note that database must support it.
169 // Do not enable this if your database in not converted to UTF-8!
170 // $CFG->unicodedb = true;
172 // Allow unicode characters in uploaded files, generated reports, etc.
173 // This setting is new and not much tested, there are known problems
174 // with backup/restore that will not be solved, because native infozip
175 // binaries are doing some weird conversions - use internal PHP zipping instead.
176 // NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION SITES
177 // $CFG->unicodecleanfilename = true;
179 // Seconds for files to remain in caches. Decrease this if you are worried
180 // about students being served outdated versions of uploaded files.
181 // $CFG->filelifetime = 86400;
183 // This setting will prevent the 'My Courses' page being displayed when a student
184 // logs in. The site front page will always show the same (logged-out) view.
185 // $CFG->disablemycourses = true;
187 // If this setting is set to true, then Moodle will track the IP of the
188 // current user to make sure it hasn't changed during a session. This
189 // will prevent the possibility of sessions being hijacked via XSS, but it
190 // may break things for users coming using proxies that change all the time,
191 // like AOL.
192 // $CFG->tracksessionip = true;
195 // The following lines are for handling email bounces.
196 // $CFG->handlebounces = true;
197 // $CFG->minbounces = 10;
198 // $CFG->bounceratio = .20;
199 // The next lines are needed both for bounce handling and any other email to module processing.
200 // mailprefix must be EXACTLY four characters.
201 // Uncomment and customise this block for Postfix
202 // $CFG->mailprefix = 'mdl+'; // + is the separator for Exim and Postfix.
203 // $CFG->mailprefix = 'mdl-'; // - is the separator for qmail
204 // $CFG->maildomain = 'youremaildomain.com';
206 // The following setting will tell Moodle to respect your PHP session
207 // settings. Use this if you want to control session configuration
208 // from php.ini, httpd.conf or .htaccess files.
209 // $CFG->respectsessionsettings = true;
211 // This setting will cause the userdate() function not to fix %d in
212 // date strings, and just let them show with a zero prefix.
213 // $CFG->nofixday = true;
215 // This setting will make some graphs (eg user logs) use lines instead of bars
216 // $CFG->preferlinegraphs = true;
218 // Enabling this will allow custom scripts to replace existing moodle scripts.
219 // For example: if $CFG->customscripts/course/view.php exists then
220 // it will be used instead of $CFG->wwwroot/course/view.php
221 // At present this will only work for files that include config.php and are called
222 // as part of the url (index.php is implied).
223 // Some examples are:
224 // http://my.moodle.site/course/view.php
225 // http://my.moodle.site/index.php
226 // http://my.moodle.site/admin (index.php implied)
227 // Custom scripts should not include config.php
228 // Warning: Replacing standard moodle scripts may pose security risks and/or may not
229 // be compatible with upgrades. Use this option only if you are aware of the risks
230 // involved.
231 // Specify the full directory path to the custom scripts
232 // $CFG->customscripts = '/home/example/customscripts';
234 // Performance profiling
236 // If you set Debug to "Yes" in the Configuration->Variables page some
237 // performance profiling data will show up on your footer (in default theme).
238 // With these settings you get more granular control over the capture
239 // and printout of the data
241 // Capture performance profiling data
242 // define('MDL_PERF' , true);
244 // Capture additional data from DB
245 // define('MDL_PERFDB' , true);
247 // Print to log (for passive profiling of production servers)
248 // define('MDL_PERFTOLOG' , true);
250 // Print to footer (works with the default theme)
251 // define('MDL_PERFTOFOOT', true);
253 // Force displayed usernames
254 // A little hack to anonymise user names for all students. If you set these
255 // then all non-teachers will always see these for every person.
256 // $CFG->forcefirstname = 'Bruce';
257 // $CFG->forcelastname = 'Simpson';
259 // The following setting will turn SQL Error logging on. This will output an
260 // entry in apache error log indicating the position of the error and the statement
261 // called. This option will action disregarding error_reporting setting.
262 // $CFG->dblogerror = true;
264 // The following setting will turn on username logging into Apache log. For full details regarding setting
265 // up of this function please refer to the install section of the document.
266 // $CFG->apacheloguser = 0; // Turn this feature off. Default value.
267 // $CFG->apacheloguser = 1; // Log user id.
268 // $CFG->apacheloguser = 2; // Log full name in cleaned format. ie, Darth Vader will be displayed as darth_vader.
269 // $CFG->apacheloguser = 3; // Log username.
270 // To get the values logged in Apache's log, add to your httpd.conf
271 // the following statements. In the General part put:
272 // LogFormat "%h %l %{MOODLEUSER}n %t \"%r\" %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" moodleformat
273 // And in the part specific to your Moodle install / virtualhost:
274 // CustomLog "/your/path/to/log" moodleformat
275 // CAUTION: Use of this option will expose usernames in the Apache log,
276 // If you are going to publish your log, or the output of your web stats analyzer
277 // this will weaken the security of your website.
279 // Email database connection errors to someone. If Moodle cannot connect to the
280 // database, then email this address with a notice.
282 // $CFG->emailconnectionerrorsto = 'your@emailaddress.com';
285 // NOTE: if you are using custompix in your theme, see /fixpix.php.
