# Configuration file for Tryton

The configuration file controls some aspects of the behavior of Tryton. The file uses a simple ini-file format. It consists of sections, led by a [section] header and followed by name = value entries:

    [database]
    uri = postgresql://user:password@localhost/
    path = /var/lib/trytond

For more information see ConfigParser.

## Sections

This section describes the different main sections that may appear in a Tryton configuration file, the purpose of each section, its possible keys, and their possible values. Some modules could request the usage of other sections for which the guideline asks them to be named like their module.

### jsonrpc

Defines the behavior of the JSON-RPC network interface.

#### listen

Defines a comma separated list of couples of host (or IP address) and port number separated by a colon to listen on.

Default localhost:8000

#### hostname

Defines the hostname for this network interface.

#### data

Defines the root path to retrieve data for GET requests.

Default: /var/www/localhost/tryton

### xmlrpc

Defines the behavior of the XML-RPC network interface.

#### listen

Same as for jsonrpc except it has no default value.

### webdav

Define the behavior of the WebDAV network interface.

#### listen

Same as for jsonrpc except it has no default value.

### database

Defines how the database is managed.

#### uri

Contains the URI to connect to the SQL database. The URI follows the RFC-3986. The typical form is:

> database://username:password@host:port/

Default: sqlite://

The available databases are:

##### PostgreSQL

pyscopg2 supports two type of connections:

> - TCP/IP connection: postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/
> - Unix domain connection: postgresql://username:password@/

##### SQLite

The only possible URI is: sqlite://

##### MySQL

Same as for PostgreSQL.

#### path

The directory where Tryton stores files and so the user running trytond must have write access on this directory.

Default: /var/lib/trytond/

#### list

A boolean value to list available databases.

Default: True

#### retry

The number of retries when a database operational error occurs during a request.

Default: 5

#### language

The main language of the database that will be used for storage in the main table for translations.

Default: en_US

### cache

Defines size of various cache.

#### model

The number of different model kept in the cache per transaction.

Default: 200

#### record

The number of record loaded kept in the cache of the list. It can be changed locally using the _record_cache_size key in `Transaction.context`.

Default: 2000

#### field

The number of field to load with an eager `Field.loading`.

Default: 100

### table

This section allows to override the default generated table name for a `ModelSQL`. The main goal is to bypass limitation on the name length of the database backend. For example:

    [table]
    account.invoice.line = acc_inv_line
    account.invoice.tax = acc_inv_tax

### ssl

Activates SSL on all network protocols.

Note

SSL is activated by defining privatekey. Please refer to SSL-CERT on how to use private keys and certficates.

#### privatekey

The path to the private key.

#### certificate

The path to the certificate.

### email

#### uri

The SMTP-URL to connect to the SMTP server which is extended to support SSL and STARTTLS. The available protocols are:

> - smtp: simple SMTP
> - smtp+tls: SMTP with STARTTLS
> - smtps: SMTP with SSL

Default: smtp://localhost:25

#### from

Defines the default From address for emails sent by Tryton.

### session

#### timeout

The time in seconds until a session expires.

Default: 600

#### super_pwd

The server password used to authenticate from the client for database management tasks. It is encrypted using using the Unix crypt(3) routine. A password can be generated using this command line:

    python -c 'import getpass,crypt,random,string; print crypt.crypt(getpass.getpass(), "".join(random.sample(string.ascii_letters + string.digits, 8)))'

### report

#### unoconv

The parameters for unoconv.

Default: pipe,name=trytond;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext
