SME7 come with the most used parameters set as variables. These variables are used for pass values to final configuration files. Please, read the [http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/gordonr/devguide/html/devguide.html#SME-INTERNALS SME Server Developer's Guide] to understand the template and DB process.

SME Server comes with the most used parameters set as variables in it's internal configuration databases. These variables are used to store values to be used in the final configuration files. Please, read the [http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/gordonr/devguide/html/devguide.html#SME-INTERNALS SME Server Developer's Guide] to understand the template and database process.

These variables are useful to configure your system simply.
+
These variables are useful to configure your system more easily, as you do not need to modify configuration files directly for most common cases. It also makes it possible to administrate the server through it's server-manager as the database variables are used to set and change configuration parameters, after changing them configuration files only have to be regenerated and affected services nee dto be restarted.
 
  −
Without DB Variables you must following this process:
  −
 
  −
*If you need to modify a PHP.INI parameter, usually you need to create a custom-template file, and expand.
  −
**Make the custom directory
  −
**Copy the original template file to custom directory
  −
**Modify the file and save
  −
**Expand
  −
**Restart service
  −
 
  −
 
  −
With DB Variables:
  −
 
  −
*The same example above, but with dbvar, execute the following command, expand and restart. In some configuration not need to restart because some signal-event make the necesary expansion and service restart, for example ibay-modify
  −
**db dbfile setprop key prop1 val1
  −
**Expand
  −
**Restart

and then restart httpd service.
 
and then restart httpd service.

It is VERY IMPORTANT to type correctly, because the variables and keys are case sensitive, but if you make a mistake there are no error to alert you about that, and you think the configuration has changed, but really not changed.
+
{{drawBoxWarning|content=Database parameters are case sesitive and therefore it is is neccesarry to carefully mind there case when typing them at the server shell as no errors are given when you make a typo.}}
   −
These variables are located in files. Again, refer to Gordon Dev Guide.
+
The database system is based on a flat file system, but you should never edit them directly. instead you can use the db command. More details on using the database system can be found in the [http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/gordonr/devguide/html/devguide.html#SME-INTERNALS SME Server Developer's Guide].

The next is only the standard variables defined that come with SME7. Of course you can update this list with new standard variables in future SME versions.
