Configuration Options
The XBT Tracker has two different areas for configuration: the xbt_tracker.conf and the xbt_config table (in xbt database). Please see it's options:
xbt_tracker.conf
The xbt_tracker.conf is always read when XBT starts. Usually you can find it on the same directory where the xbt_tracker binary/executable is. The layout is the following:
1 2 3 4 5 |
mysql_host = localhost mysql_user = xbt_tracker mysql_password = xbt_tracker mysql_database = xbt_tracker mysql_table_prefix = xbt_ |
mysql_host - The host where the XBT database is. This is a required configuration option.
mysql_user - The user with privileges to read/write to the XBT database. This is a required configuration option.
mysql_password - The password for the user above.This is a required configuration option.
mysql_database - The database name for XBT.This is a required configuration option.
mysql_table_prefix - The table prefix for the XBT database. This is an optional value and usually you don't need it. The default value in case of omission is 'xbt_'
xbt_config table
