Configuration files

-Configuration is now done by the top-level Makefile and web interface. The instructions below are no longer necessary. -

Create the /usr/local/etc/freeside directory to hold your configuration. -
Setting up Apache user authetication is mandatory. -
Create the /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets file, which maps Apache users to a secrets file which contains a DBI data source, username and password. Every -line in /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets should contain a username and -filename, separated by whitespace. Note that these are not local usernames - -they are passed from Apache. -Apache user authetication is mandatory. For example, if you had the Apache users admin, -john, and sam, -you mapsecrets file might look like: -
```
-admin secretfile
-john secretfile
-sam secretfile
-
```
-
Next, the filename(s) referenced in /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets file should be created in the /usr/local/etc/freeside/ directory. Each file contains three lines: DBI data source (for example, - DBI:mysql:freeside or DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside), database username, and database password. - These files should not be world readable. See the DBI manpage and the manpage for your DBD for the exact syntax of a DBI data source. In a normal installation such as the example above, a single file /usr/local/etc/freeside/secretfile would be created - for example: -
```
-DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside
-dbusername
-dbpassword
-
```
-
Create the /usr/local/etc/freeside/conf.datasource directory, for example, /usr/local/etc/freeside/conf.DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside (remember to backslash-escape the ; character when creating directories in the shell: -
```
mkdir /usr/local/etc/freeside/conf.DBI:Pg:host=localhost\;dbname=freeside
-
```
-
The rest of the configuration can be done with the web interface. Select Configuration from the main menu and update your configuration values. -
