#5 additional config examples fb/ib and local/remote

[Jeff Stern]

hi,

i did see a couple of examples for how to set up the
configuration.inc.php but i would like to see some
additional information either added to the file itself
(before each of the parameters) or to the README.

it would be nice to see ***FOUR** examples: 2 for
firebird, 2 for interbase -- and local AND remote
database examples for each.

for instance, questions i had i did not see answered
anywhere, which seemed to relate more to REMOTE setup
for IB:

1) for dealing with remote databases: does DEFAULT_PATH
refer to the default path on the database server? or
for the client interbase stuff on the web server? for
instance, if on the db server, my database is
"/databases/special/thisone.gdb" and on the web server,
the interbase stuff is in "/opt/interbase" does
DEFAULT_PATH refer to "/databases/special/" or to
"/opt/interbase/"?

2) whether final "/"'s are needed in variables which
refer to paths/directories -- this would be nice to see
answered

3) in the following setup line:

define('SECURITY_DB',
'/usr/local/firebird/security.fdb'); // where to look
for the interbase security database.

what does this mean for a remote interbase setup? what
do i set this to? i could not find an isc4.gdb anywhere
on my web server (the machine with the client IB
bins).. i assume it's on the db server somewhere, and i
could ask my db admin -- but what do i set this value
to in this case?

4) same thing for this line:

define('BACKUP_DIR', '/opt/interbase/backup/'); //
define this to restrict the location for backup files

my IB server is remote. do i make a
/opt/interbase/backup directory HERE (on the web
server)? or do i refer to a special place on the DB
server (and thus have to ask my DB admin)? or do i put
NOTHING?

etc etc etc

once i do get an interbase ibwebadmin setup going well,
i can submit an IB/REMOTE example..

thanks,
jeff stern

perhaps it would also be helpful to also double again (that
is, 8 examples total) the examples by whether the PHP/Web
machine (regardless of what the DB machine is) is on Windows
or Linux, etc...?
