Configuration of AlchemyCMS

Alchemy configuration is done in the config/alchemy/config.yml file.

Use

bin/rake alchemy:install

or

bin/rails g alchemy:install

to generate it.

The configuration file

Please have a look into the source code (opens new window). The file is pretty well documentated and much more up to date then this guide.

Environment related configurations

Beside using that one configuration file you also can seperate certain config settings for specific environments.

For example: You want to enforce SSL in production, while in your development environment you don't.

Its easy to achieve by setting up a second configuration file for development which contains nothing but the ssl enforcing setting.

Your apps default config:

your_app/config/alchemy/config.yml

Environment specific config:

your_app/config/alchemy/development.config.yml

NOTE

When running your application in development mode both config files get merged, while the environment specific config takes precedence over the default config.
