InstallProjectConfigFile

Mirror configuration is done via a pair of JSON config files. These are pretty simple; and allow you to configure such things as the domain name to use, the IP addresses, and to enable/disable some features.

Additionally, there is a place to put your company name or logo (Keep it classy, please!) into the configuration, which will appear at the bottom once a given test is finished.

Files

Two new files are required for your site, at a minimum; and placed into your /site/ directory of where your content will be served from.

/site/config.js

Used by: the main javascript client.

You'll see an example in the content bundle, called config.js.example.

Note, while this looks like JavaScript, this is really JSON - with a variable name of MirrorConfig in front. Don't do fancy JavaScript tricks with this; as the various scripts (written in php, perl) won't handle it.

MirrorConfig = 
{

  "site": {
    "name": "test-ipv6.example.com",
    "contact": "Jason Fesler",
    "mailto": "jfesler@test-ipv6.com"
  },
  
  "load": {
    "domain": "test-ipv6.example.com",
    "ipv4": "192.0.2.1",
    "ipv6": "2001:db8::1"
  },
  
  "footer": {
    "#logo": "/site/logo.png",         
    "#operator": "Jason Fesler",       
    "#link": "http://test-ipv6.com", 
    "#html": "/site/footer.html"
  },
  
  "options": {
    "show_stats": "/stats.html",
    "survey": "/survey.php",
    "comment": "/comment.php",
    "ip": "/ip/"
  },
  
  "facebook": {
    "enable": 0
  },
  "twitter": {
    "enable": 0,
    "name": "testipv6com"
  }
}

site:

• name : the name to show on the web page.
• contact: name of the contact point (such as the ACME Company NOC)
• mailto: email address for the above contact. used by the comment form; and remote audits.

load: This defines where the URLs will test.

• domain: this is the base DNS name that should be used for [InstallDNS]. Often the same as the site name.
• ipv4: your IPv4 address for this mirror site (if using load balancers, then the VIP)
• ipv6: same as above, but IPv6

footer:

• logo - if set, shows a logo at the bottom of the test.
• operator - if set, gives a note about the operator at the bottom of the test.
• link - if set, hyperlinks the operator name.
• html - if set to a url such as /site/footer.html, attempts to load that instead. Note this must be on the same virtualhost.

Please keep things classy.

options:

• show_stats - comment out to hide the stats tab. Alternately, set it to a differnt link.
• survey - comment out if you don't plan on keeping stats.
• comment - set to the comment form where you want feedback sent.
• ip - where mod_ip answers.

/site/private.js

Used by: PHP scripts, charting scripts.

Note, while this looks like JavaScript, this is really JSON - with a variable name of MirrorConfig in front. Don't do fancy JavaScript tricks with this; as the various scripts (written in php, perl) won't handle it.

PrivateConfig = 
{
  "db": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "db": "testipv6",
    "username": "sampleusername",
    "password": "samplepassword"
  },
  "paths": {
    "rrd": "/usr/local/var/testipv6/rrd",
    "png": "/usr/local/www/data/virt/beta.test-ipv6.com/site/charts"
  },
  "google_translate": { // Google translate for comments.php
     "enable": 0,
     "language": "en",
     "key": "get_your_own_key"
  }
}

db - Used by survey.php, and charting. If you don't plan on doing survey.php (And showing charts of your testers), then you can (in config.js, comment out the survey line). See also: InstallCharts

• host: where the mysql instance is
• db: the name of the database
• username: the username that has been granted r/w access
• password: the password for the above username

paths - Used by charting. Ignore if you're not charting.

• rrd: Location to store RRD files.
• png: Location to write image files; should map to /site/charts/ in the browser.

google_translate - if enabled and set with a key, then comment.php will do automatic translation. Note that Google charges for the service. This is particularly handy where a large number of comments come in each day, from all parts of the world. Translation: really for test-ipv6.com

• enable - set to 1 to enable translation
• language - target language. must be a valid-to-google target name.
• key - the key used (get this from google).

Optional Files

If, in your config files, you refer to either a logo or a footer, you can put those in /site/ as well. All files in /site/ will be considered "site local"; and any instructions we have for updating the site will avoid overwriting or deleting that subdirectory.
