Server Configuration

Info

The DMNB Server can be configured through the configuration file. This page describes the content and meaning of that configuration file.

The File

The config file is located (relative to the server script) under ./rsc/dmnb.config. If the file (or the rsc folder) is not already present, it will be created. The server is not able to start without an intact config file. If the file is newly created, it will be set to it's defaults. In this case, the file content looks like this:

[file_locations]
log_folder = './rsc/auditlogs/'
database_path = './rsc/dmnb.sqlite'
email_body_scheme = './rsc/email_body.html'

[smtp_config]
smtp_server = '127.0.0.1'
smtp_username = 'test'
smtp_password = 'test'
