+# Shaarli configuration
Once your Shaarli instance is installed, the file `data/config.json.php` is generated:
-* it contains all settings in JSON format, and can be edited to customize values
-* it defines which [plugins](Plugin-System) are enabled
-* its values override those defined in `index.php`
-* it is wrap in a PHP comment to prevent anyone accessing it, regardless of server configuration
-
-## File and directory permissions
-
-The server process running Shaarli must have:
-
-- `read` access to the following resources:
- - PHP scripts: `index.php`, `application/*.php`, `plugins/*.php`
- - 3rd party PHP and Javascript libraries: `inc/*.php`, `inc/*.js`
- - static assets:
- - CSS stylesheets: `inc/*.css`
- - `images/*`
- - RainTPL templates: `tpl/*.html`
-- `read`, `write` and `execution` access to the following directories:
- - `cache` - thumbnail cache
- - `data` - link data store, configuration options
- - `pagecache` - Atom/RSS feed cache
- - `tmp` - RainTPL page cache
-
-On a Linux distribution:
-
-- the web server user will likely be `www` or `http` (for Apache2)
-- it will be a member of a group of the same name: `www:www`, `http:http`
-- to give it access to Shaarli, either:
- - unzip Shaarli in the default web server location (usually `/var/www/`) and set the web server user as the owner
- - put users in the same group as the web server, and set the appropriate access rights
-- if you have a domain / subdomain to serve Shaarli, [configure the server](Server-configuration) accordingly
-
