config.ini settings

In most cases, you will not need to modify confiig.ini file settings. This section is presented for advanced users only.

Many configuration setting are available through DocBuilder's Setup Options, however, less commonly used settings are reserved for ini file and must be edited with a text editor. Be very careful to keep a backup of this file. If this file is corrupted, you will receive an error message when running DocBuilder. You will not be able to login or use the program at all until the config.ini file has been fixed.

General Settings

option description
umask settings umask = 000
Some web servers are configured so that files created by scripts have restricted permissions. This can cause a problem for Article Manager because it requires its own data files to be writable by the program itself. If you find that you can create a article once, but not on subsequent attempts, take a look at the data/* files to see if they still have 777 permission. If not, you can set this config option to "000" to explicitly tell the program what umask permissions to use.
