Significant changes to the configuration of ARK are being made to move from PHP file based configuration to database based configuration. This section will document these changes.
- The config/ folder will contain all user-editable php files required, all other config will be in the database
- The env_settings.php file is replaced by server.php and paths.php
- server.php contains the settings for the database connection and root server path and should be the only file requiring editing for a default ARK install
- paths.php contains the settings for the server file paths and should not need editing
- To set-up an ARK, copy the config folder from php/arkdb/config to teh root folder and edit as required
- preflight_checks.php now defaults to off, so needs to be enabled before running, and then deleted form config afterwards
- settings.php has moved from config/ to php/settings/ and no longer requires user editing, all settings are now held in the database and should be configured per the instructions
Database
- Configuration has been moved to the database
- A new ADO class has been created to wrap all access to PDO
Changes
Other significant changes are documented here.
- A number of config global variables have been renamed for consistency
- Any var ending in _dir is an absolute filesystem directory path
- Any var ending in _path is a URL path relative to the hostname and always starts with a '/'
- Neither var ever ends in a separator
- $ark_server_path -> $ark_root_dir
- $ark_dir -> $ark_root_path and no longer ends in a /
- $registered_files_host -> $registered_files_path
- $phMagickDir -> $phmagick_file
- ark_web_maptemp_dir -> ark_maptemp_path
- $ark_lib_dir and $ark_lib_path point to the library folder
- $skins_dir and $skins_path point to the skins folder
- $skin_dir and $skin_path point to the current skin folder
- A number of config global variables have been renamed for clarity
- $mode -> $search_mode
- $ftx_mode -> $search_ftx_mode
- A number of config global variables have been deleted as they are not used:
- $default_year
- $conf_non_search_words
- $conf_langs
- $loaded_map_modules
- $default_output_mode
- The logging globals have been changed
- $log, $conf_log_add, $conf_log_edt, $conf_log_del are deleted
- $log_ins, $log_upd and $log_del are used instead
- The $fs_path_sep and $fs_slash have been removed, use PATH_SEPARATOR and DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constants instead.
