Database variables

Template:DrawBoxNote

SME Server comes with the most used parameters set as variables in its internal configuration databases. These variables are used to store values to be used in the final configuration files. Please, read the SME Server Developer's Guide to understand the template and database process.

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 administer the server through its server-manager as the database variables are used to set and change configuration parameters. After editing, the configuration files must be regenerated and affected services need to be restarted.

For example, suppose you need to increase "memory-limit" in php.

You would simply execute these commands at the server console: 

db configuration setprop php MemoryLimit 64M
expand-template /etc/php.ini
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

The first line changes the value for the memory limit of PHP, the second line regenerates the configuration file and the last line will reload Apache (and subsequently also PHP as this is configured as a module of Apache).

Template:DrawBoxWarning

The database system is based on a flat file system, but you should never edit them directly. Instead you should use the db command. More details on using the database system can be found in the SME Server Developer's Guide.

Setting db variables to default values

Any db variable that has a default value can be reset to the default by deleting the variable entirely, then re-initializing the default database values as follows: 

config delprop key prop
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases

Overview of database variables

The next section describes the standard variables defined on SME Server. Please update this list with new standard variables in future SME Server versions.

The tables below have three columns. The first is the variable, the second is the target variable (located in the final configuration file), and the third is the default value.

A lot of the variables can be set using the server-manager but some can not. For example the variable DomainMaster for samba is not important here, because this can be set through server-manager. On the other hand, the variable RecycleBin is important, because it is not accessible through the server-manager.

Configuration files may use database values from a single configuration key, or may use multiple keys. The latter is the case for the /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq configuration file. This file takes it values from multiple database keys such as squid and masq.

It is also possible that multiple configuration files use the same key. An example of this is the httpd-admin key. This key has a variable TCPPort which is used in multiple files (/etc/httpd/admin-conf/httpd.conf and /etc/services).

Template:DrawBoxTip

Additional information on customizing iptables
db configuration set <servicename> service
db configuration setprop <servicename> TCPPort <portnumber>
db configuration setprop <servicename> UDPPort <portnumber>
db configuration setprop <servicename> status enabled|disabled
db configuration setprop <servicename> access public|private
db configuration setprop <servicename> AllowHosts a.b.c.d,x.y.z.0/24
db configuration setprop <servicename> DenyHosts e.f.g.h,l.m.n.0/24
signal-event remoteaccess-update

The first line creates a custom-named service definition in the configuration database.
The succeeding lines can be used to apply your desired firewall restrictions to any existing SME 'service'
or to a custom-named service that you have created.
Combine a custom-named service with port-forwarding to create customized firewall rules.

Miscellaneous Other DB Variables

This is meant to be an easy place to add db variable information if you don't have time to put it 
into the correct section(s) above.  You can find most of the template fragments affected by a 
given db variable if you execute:
  cd /etc/e-smith
  fgrep -lR <DBVarName> templ*/* | less
where <DBVarName> is the name of the variable using correct capitalization

Note that any Command listed here is to be executed on one line!
Command service(s) config file(s) notes
db domains setprop test.com MailServer a.b.c.d qpsmtpd; qmail; fetchmail /var/service/qpsmtpd/config/goodrcptto; /var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local; /var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/0; /var/service/qpsmtpd/plugins; /var/service/qmail/control/virtualdomains; /var/service/qmail/control/smtproutes; /etc/fetchmail Forward all email for the specified domain to the IP address a.b.c.d. a.b.c.d can be either local or remote. By default, the recipient address will be verified as valid on a.b.c.d before SME accepts the inbound message.
config set SquidParent <hostname or IP> squid, diald /etc/diald.filter, /etc/squid/squid.conf Configure squid to peform all web downloads from the specified upstream proxy server
config set SquidParentPort <portnumber> squid /etc/squid/squid.conf Connect to the upstream proxy server using <portnumber>. Defaults to 3128 if 'SquidParentPort' is unspecified. Ignored if SquidParent is not set.
config delete SquidParent squid, diald /etc/squid/squid.conf, /etc/diald.filter Return squid to normal operation (no upstream proxy server)
db accounts setprop username Visible internal ? ? Make an email address invisible from outside? (see http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=36302.0)
db <database> delprop key property ; /etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases various various Restore the developers' default value for property
