First, the file `/usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets' is read. Each line +in this file contains a username and filename, separated by whitespace. Note +that these are not local usernames - they are passed from Apache (you _did_ +setup +user authetication, correct?). The default path for the filename is +`/usr/local/etc/freeside/'. The specified filename is parsed exactly +the same as the pre-1.2.x `secrets' file: +
Three lines: Database engine datasource (for example, `DBI:mysql:freeside' or `DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside'), username, and password. This file should not be world readable. +

+All further configuration files and directories are located in +`/usr/local/freeside/conf.datasource', for example, +`/usr/local/freeside/conf.DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside'
