21.4. Server configurations

Some server configurations can be done when the installation process is finished and BASE is up and running. Log into BASE with administration rights and then open the configuration dialog from menu AdministrateServer settings. Each tab in the configuration dialog-window is described below.

File transfer
Max transfer rate

This is a limit of how many bytes of data that should be transferred per second when uploading files to BASE. Prefixes like k, M or G can be used for larger values, just like described in the tab. The limit is per ongoing upload and the default value is 100MB/s.

Unlimited

Check this to not limit the transfer rate. In this case, the Internet connection of the server is the limit.

About
Administrator name

Name of the responsible administrator. The name is displayed at the bottom of each page in BASE and in the about-dialog.

Administrator email

An email which the administrator can be contacted on. The administrator name, visible at the bottom of each page, will be linked to this email address.

About

Text written in this field is displayed in the About this server section on the login page and in the about-dialog window. We recommend changing the default Latin text to something meaningful, or remove it to hide the section completely.

Get account

A description what a none-registered user should do to get an account on the particular BASE-server. This text is linked to the Get an account! link on the login page. We recommend that the Latin text is replaced with some useful information, or that it is removed to hide the link.

Forgotten password

A description what an user should do if the password is forgotten. This text is linked to the Forgot your password? link on the login page. We recommend that the Latin text is replaced with some useful information, or that it is removed to hide the link.

Links

External configurable link-types inside BASE.

[Note] Note

Only link-types that have been set will be visible in the web client.

Help

Links to where the help text is located. By default this is set to the documentation for the latest released BASE version on the BASE web site, http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/doc/html/index.html. If you want the documentation for a specific version you will have to setup a site for that yourself and then change the link to that site. The documentation is included in the downloaded package in the directory <basedir>/doc/html.

FAQ

Where frequently asked questions can be found. Empty by default.

Report a bug

Where the user could report bugs, feature request or perhaps other feedback that concerns the program. As default this is set to the feedback section on BASE web site, http://base.thep.lu.se/#Feedback. Note that users must login in order to submit information.
