Configuration Guidelines

favicon.ico & robots.txt

These can be provided via 2 different means:

• mod_rewrite
• web2py/routes.py: copy routes.example.py & edit

Configurable Options

These can be set via ​appadmin

• Admin Name/Email/Tel
• Debug: improve performance by deselecting this option.
• Self-Registration: disable Self-Registration by deselecting this option.
• Audit Read: Enable Auditing of all Read operations (Display)
• Audit Write: Enable Auditing of all Write operations (Create/Update/Delete)

In time these will be configured by Web Setup.

Email Verification for Self-Registration can be enabled in controllers/default.py.
This requires the ability to send emails (server details currently set in modules/sahana.py)

Roles

By default the 1st user to register will gain the Administrator role.

All other users have just the 'Reader' level of access.

To add roles to users, go to appadmin & add this Mapping:

• ​http://127.0.0.1:8000/sahana/appadmin/insert/db/auth_membership

(A custom GUI should, in time, be built for this)

Internet Hosting

Can switch to having users download files from CDNs instead of your server.
This can improve performance in 2 ways:

• The CDN may have faster/closer servers to the client
• Increases the number of files being downloaded simultaneously, since pulled from different hostnames: ​http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/parallel/
