Option Description Default
Temporary directory Directory on your server, relative to your Tiki installation, for storing temporary files. Tiki must have full read and write access to this directory. /home/tiki-doc/tmp
Use proxy Specify if this Tiki site requires a proxy to access the internet. If enabled, the proxy Host name (either with or without the http:// prefix), Port settings, Username, and Password can be specified. Disabled
Proxy host name Proxy host - without http:// or similar, just the host name None
Port Proxy port None
Proxy username None
Proxy password None
HTTP lookup: skip framesets When performing an HTTP request to an external source, verify if the result is a frameset and use heuristic to provide the real content. Disabled
Load balancer Activate this only if the server is behind a load balancer (or reverse proxy). This enables logging the IP of the user rather than the IP of the proxy server Disabled
Tiki is behind a frontend-proxy/load-balancer that rewrites ports Activate this only if the server is behind a frontend-proxy/load-balancer (or reverse proxy) that rewrites ports. This enables Tiki to use the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO parameter set by the proxy, to provide correct links. Disabled
Access-Control-Allow-Origin Domains allowed to make "CORS" (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing or Cross-Domain Ajax) requests from this server.
One URI per line, for example, "http://www.example.com" or "*" for any site
None
Use CURL for HTTP connections Use CURL instead of sockets for server to server HTTP connections, when sockets are not available. Disabled
Realtime Tiki Use built-in websockets server within Tiki to enable realtime communication features of the app. See help page for more information on how to start the server. Disabled
Realtime port The port used to access this server; if not specified, port 8080 will be used
If not specified, port 8080 will be used
None
Path to the php binary Path to the php command line binary to be used by tiki when calling command line programs None
Multi-domain Enable domain names to be mapped to perspectives and simulate multiple domains hosted with the same Tiki installation. Disabled
Switch domain when switching perspective Important: Different domains have different login sessions and, even in the case of subdomains, an understanding of session cookies is needed to make it work Disabled
Default domain for non categorized content The domain (hostname only) to be used when redirecting the user if he tries to read content that is not bound to the category/perspective configured for the current domain. None
Multi-domain Configuration Comma-separated values mapping the domain name to the perspective ID.
One domain per line with a comma separating it from the perspective ID. For example: tiki.org,1
None
Session storage location Select where the session information should be stored. Memcache sessions require memcache to be configured.

Default (from php.ini)
Session lifetime Session lifetime
Expressed as minutes. This is the minimum time logged in. To be the exact time, adjustments must be made in .htaccess session.gc_probability and session.gc_divisor to 1. Be careful - changing the probability may affect server performance.
10080 minutes
Session cookie name Session cookie name used instead of the PHP default configuration PHPSESSID
Site terminal Allows users to be directed to a specific perspective depending on the origin IP address. Can be used inside intranets to use different configurations for users depending on their departements or discriminate people in web contexts. Unspecified IPs will fall back to default behavior, including multi-domain handling. Manually selected perspectives take precedence over this. Disabled
Site terminal configuration Provides the mapping from subnets to perspective.
One per line. Network prefix in CIDR notation (address/mask size), separated by comma with the perspective ID. Example: 192.168.12.0/24,12
