PerlShop Configurable Options
Here is a brief explanation of options that can be configured for the PerlShop
program. These options are mainly for the site configuration, and locations
of the required files needed for PerlShop to operate. For Company Customization
options, consult the PerlShop.cgi script and the
PerlShop Manual for more
information.
"server_address": your website.
"secure_server_address": The name of our Secure Webserver.
"cgiwrap_directory": The name of the directory containing the CGI
Wrap program. Leave blank.
"cgi_directory": directory containing the perlshop.cgi script. This
can be changed, as long as the changes you make, are reflected in your directory
structure. (E.g.: if you change MyStore to be "Bookshop", your cgi_directory
must be /cgi-bin/Bookshop, and that directory *MUST* be
created inside your cgi-bin directory).
"mail_via": what to use for mailing. We only have support for PerlShop
on Unix right now, so 'sendmail' will be the only option for you.
"blat_loc": This is a Windows NT mail daemon. Not to be used.
"sendmail_loc": Path to the sendmail program, /usr/bin/sendmail
"smtp_addr": sitename or IP address to your mail server.
"catalog_home": The home where all your shopping pages, catalog pages,
and displays will be stores. This directory *MUST* be created
inside your /htdocs directory.
"home_page": the first page seen after entering the "Store".
"image_directory": directory that will store the images for your store,
to be used by the PerlShop program. This directory must be inside your /htdocs
directory.
"secure_image_directory": referenced directory, so the Secure Webserver
will know where your images are stored at.
"image_location": since we're using the Secure Webserver, this is
the URL that references your images on the Secure Webserver.
"home_icon: opening image inside the "Store". This must be inside
your image_directory, if it exists.
"customers_directory": directory to keep track of customers.
"orders_directory": directory to keep track of orders.
"catalog_directory": directory to keep track of catalogs.
"token_directory": directory to keep track of tokens.
"temp_customer_directory": directory to keep track of temporary customers.
"temp_catalog_directory": directory to keep track of temporary catalogs.
"log_directory": directory to keep track of logs.
