Configuration Editor

The "Config Edit" menu allows editing of the Inventory configuration file from the web interface. Note, that this exposes sensitive information (including SQL login data) to any user that has Admin permissions. Use this functionality with discression.

The Configuration Editor allows to edit all parameters in the configuration file. The setup paramters are displayed in a form which you can change and save. The system also creates a backup file containing the last configuration, and write in the current file a comment describing which user last saved the file. This menu is only accessible to Admin users.

Using this menu requires a few things:

• That the Web Server process have permission to write the file include/cfg.php
• For the backup file: permission to write in the include/ directory OR permission to write the file include/cfg.bak.php
• Admin permission to access the menu
• The file itself has 1 parameter that cannot be edited through the web, the variable: $inv_data['edit'] - this controls if the Config Editor is available or not. Zero disables this feature and one enables it.

This menu does not have a standard toolbar on top, instead there is only one functionality: there's a restore configuration button that will allow you to revert back to the configuration data saved in include/cfg.bak.php
