Configuration Parameters

Overview

Located in the the conf/production directory, the file itop-config.php contains all the configuration parameters of iTop.

This file is created during the setup, and updated upon upgrade.

If you have done some modifications to the settings, please backup this file prior to executing an upgrade, because the file will be generated again by the upgrade program. For example, comments will be lost.

The configuration file contains the following sections:

  • MySettings: contains iTop settings. Some settings are not visible in the file generated by the installation program. These are settings for troubleshooting or disabling some features (workaround for complex integrations).
  • MyModuleSettings: contains module settings.
  • MyModules: lists the PHP files to include. It is a way to disable -temporarily- an installed feature. Depending on your need for language support, you might comment out some lines. This can speedup significantly the execution of every single iTop page. Please note that those changes will be lost when upgrading iTop.
