Baldrick.cfg

From CunningPlans

baldrick.cfg is the default filename for the master configuration file that defines a Baldrick Site.

Typically it is installed in the "etc" directory within the cgi-bin directory where baldrick-stub is installed. However, this setting - the directory, and the filename within the directory - may be changed using environmental variables.

baldrick.cfg is parsed with the Perl module Config::General. It includes the following:

• Baldrick section - defines a few global parameters
• PathMap section - (REQUIRED) maps incoming URLs to Modules
• Module section - (REQUIRED) define how a request is to be handled
• UserClass section - define how users are authenticated and loaded
• Database section - define a database connection
• TemplateAdapter section - define a system for generating output
• UserAgentMatch section - allows overriding of Module definition based on incoming UserAgent

An example configuration file can be found in the distribution archive as scripts/etc/baldrick.cfg.sample.
