`The config.py File`:index:

***************************

|
|
There are multiple configuration files that are read at startup by pgAdmin. These
|
|
files are used for configuration options that:
|
|
|
|
* may be required to be set prior to startup of pgAdmin as they control how
|
|
the application will operate.
|
|
* system administrators may wish to control across an organisation to enforce
|
|
security policies.
|
|
* are so rarely or unlikely to be changed that it doesn't
|
|
make sense to allow them to be changed through the user interface.
|
|
|
|
The configuration files are as follows:
|
|
|
|
* ``config.py``: This is the main configuration file, and should not be modified.
|
|
It can be used as a reference for configuration settings, that may be overridden
|
|
in one of the following files.
|
|
|
|
* ``config_distro.py``: This file is read after ``config.py`` and is intended for
|
|
packagers to change any settings that are required for their pgAdmin distribution.
|
|
This may typically include certain paths and file locations. This file is optional,
|
|
and may be created by packagers in the same directory as ``config.py`` if
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
* ``config_local.py``: This file is read after ``config_distro.py`` and is intended
|
|
for end users to change any default or packaging specific settings that they may
|
|
wish to adjust to meet local preferences or standards.This file is optional,
|
|
and may be created by users in the same directory as ``config.py`` if
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
* ``config_system.py``: This file is read after ``config_local.py`` and is
|
|
intended for system administrators to include settings that are configured
|
|
system-wide from a secure location that users cannot normally modify and that
|
|
is outside of the pgAdmin installation. The location for this file varies
|
|
based on the platform, and only needs to be created if desired.

.. note:: If the SERVER_MODE setting is changed in ``config_distro.py``,
|
|
``config_local.py``, or ``config_system.py`` you will most likely need to
|
|
re-set the LOG_FILE, SQLITE_PATH, SESSION_DB_PATH and STORAGE_DIR values
|
|
as well as they will have been set based on the default configuration or
|
|
overridden by the runtime.
