Glados config files

The main configuration can be found in the file config/params.php. This is a list of the config settings and what they mean:

Config Item	Default Value	Description
itemsPerPage	10	Defines the number of rows displayed in the ticket, exam and user index view.
uploadPath	/var/lib/glados/uploads/	The full directory path in the filesystem of the server, where the uploaded exam image files should be stored. This directory must be writable for the webserver user.
backupPath	/var/lib/glados/backups/	The full directory path in the filesystem of the server, where the backups should be stored. This directory must be writable for the webserver user.
resultPath	/var/lib/glados/results/	The full directory path in the filesystem of the server, where the handed back results should be stored. This directory must be writable for the webserver user.
scPath	/var/lib/glados/sc/	The full directory path in the filesystem of the server, where the screen capture files should be stored. This directory must be writable for the webserver user.
tmpPath	/var/lib/glados/tmp/	The full directory path in the filesystem of the server, wherein temporary files can be stored. This directory must be writable for the webserver user.
dotSSH	/var/lib/glados/.ssh/	The full directory path in the filesystem of the server, where the generated public and private SSH key are stored. This directory must be writable for the webserver user.
daemonLogFilePath	/var/log/glados	The full directory path in the filesystem of the server, where the log files should be stored. This directory must be writable for the webserver user.
examDownloadBandwith	10m	Given in MB/s (megabytes per second). The bandwith per client, by which the server should transmit the exam files to the client. Set 0 for no limit.
liveEvents	true	Whether to enable or disable live data globally.
minDaemons*	3	The minimum number of running daemons. If you start one daemon, that daemon will start 2 more after a few seconds to match the minimum number of daemons running.
maxDaemons*	10	The maximum number of running daemons. If you start one more, after some time, one of the daemons will stop probably itself, depending on the bound values (see below).
lowerBound*	20	The average load limit over all running daemons in percent, where one of the running daemons should be stopped (will not go below minDaemons).
upperBound*	80	The average load limit over all running daemons in percent, where a new daemons should be started (will not go beyond maxDaemons).
abandonTicket*	10800	see Ticket abandon time

Settings with a star * are now accessible for admin users over System->Settings and should not be changed in the params.php file anymore, since the value from System->Settings takes precedence over the file.

    'username' => 'glados',
    'password' => 'mysqlpassword',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
];
