Configuration

Information on retrieving and setting configuration items can be found on the kohana page.

Configuration files contain an array named $config. Keys of this array are the actual configuration items e.g.

Example

$config['site_domain'] = 'localhost/';

The file structure of config files follows Kohana's file structure.

application > modules > system

Meaning that configuration files in the application directory take precedence over those in modules which take precedence over those in the system directory. The one exception is config.php which is hardcoded into the application/config directory and cannot be moved elsewhere.

The file config.php is hardcoded into Kohana, meaning it has to be in the application/config directory.
