4 **Do not edit configuration options in index.php! Your changes would be lost.**
6 Once your Shaarli instance is installed, the file `data/config.php` is generated:
7 * it contains all settings, and can be edited to customize values
8 * it defines which [plugins](Plugin-System) are enabled[](.html)
9 * its values override those defined in `index.php`
11 ## File and directory permissions
12 The server process running Shaarli must have:
13 - `read` access to the following resources:
14 - PHP scripts: `index.php`, `application/*.php`, `plugins/*.php`
15 - 3rd party PHP and Javascript libraries: `inc/*.php`, `inc/*.js`
17 - CSS stylesheets: `inc/*.css`
19 - RainTPL templates: `tpl/*.html`
20 - `read`, `write` and `execution` access to the following directories:
21 - `cache` - thumbnail cache
22 - `data` - link data store, configuration options
23 - `pagecache` - Atom/RSS feed cache
24 - `tmp` - RainTPL page cache
26 On a Linux distribution:
27 - the web server user will likely be `www` or `http` (for Apache2)
28 - it will be a member of a group of the same name: `www:www`, `http:http`
29 - to give it access to Shaarli, either:
30 - unzip Shaarli in the default web server location (usually `/var/www/`) and set the web server user as the owner
31 - put users in the same group as the web server, and set the appropriate access rights
32 - if you have a domain / subdomain to serve Shaarli, [configure the server](Server-configuration) accordingly[](.html)
