Default Values


These are the settings for the "default" virtual server that handles all requests not covered otherwise. These settings can be changed for every virtual server within their own configuration block, using the same names. If a setting doesn't show up in the virtual servers definition block it will take over the default value.
  • mainpage
    Path and name of the page that is shown if no path at all is given in the request. Other servers start looking for files like "index.html" when the given target is a directory, well dpfTVS doesn't. As it also doesn't offer directory services a user that tries to request a directory will just get a "404 file not found". So if this entry has an empty string a user that only typed the server url will get a 404. The default value is "/index.html".
  • content_root
    Path to the root folder for the static content. This is only a path specification, it doesn't grant access rights to the content there. Default is the folder "content", an empty string represents the current working directory.
  • cgi_root
    The path all CGI and MCGI requests use. Default is "cgi". If an empty string is specified CGI & MCGI will be disabled.
  • cgi_user
    A value other than 0 changes the user setting for (M)CGI scripts to this uid. Default is 0.
  • cgi_timeout
    Timeout in seconds. That's the time dpfTVS will wait for an answer from a (M)CGI script until breaking off and sending a kill to the cgi process. If the CGI crashes the connection loss to dpfTVS will be recogniced, so the timeout is only used in case the script just hangs. The default value is 120.
  • mugi_socket
    A positive value is taken as the socket of a mugi and all incoming requests will be forwarded there as long as they are neither CGI nor a registered MUGI. A negative value will disable this feature and a request will be processed normally. Default is -1.
  • mugi_ip
    For example "127.0.0.1". It specifies the ip address to the socket and will therefor be ignored if mugi_socket is negative. Default is an empty string. Get host by name is not supported.
  • um_socket
    Specifies the socket of the usermanagement. Is used for the extended environment variables of (M)CGI. Currently not yet available for the public. A negative value disables this feature. Default is -1;
  • um_ip
    For example "127.0.0.1". It specifies the ip address of the um_socket. Default is an empty string.
