   1 ## Foreword
   2
   3 **Do not edit configuration options in index.php! Your changes would be lost.**
   4
   5 Once your Shaarli instance is installed, the file `data/config.json.php` is generated:
   6 * it contains all settings in JSON format, and can be edited to customize values
   7 * it defines which [plugins](Plugin-System) are enabled[](.html)
   8 * its values override those defined in `index.php`
   9 * it is wrap in a PHP comment to prevent anyone accessing it, regardless of server configuration
  10
  11 ## File and directory permissions
  12
  13 The server process running Shaarli must have:
  14
  15 - `read` access to the following resources:
  16     - PHP scripts: `index.php`, `application/*.php`, `plugins/*.php`
  17     - 3rd party PHP and Javascript libraries: `inc/*.php`, `inc/*.js`
  18     - static assets:
  19         - CSS stylesheets: `inc/*.css`
  20         - `images/*`
  21     - RainTPL templates: `tpl/*.html`
  22 - `read`, `write` and `execution` access to the following directories:
  23     - `cache` - thumbnail cache
  24     - `data` - link data store, configuration options
  25     - `pagecache` - Atom/RSS feed cache
  26     - `tmp` - RainTPL page cache
  27
  28 On a Linux distribution:
  29
  30 - the web server user will likely be `www` or `http` (for Apache2)
  31 - it will be a member of a group of the same name: `www:www`, `http:http`
  32 - to give it access to Shaarli, either:
  33     - unzip Shaarli in the default web server location (usually `/var/www/`) and set the web server user as the owner
  34     - put users in the same group as the web server, and set the appropriate access rights
  35 - if you have a domain / subdomain to serve Shaarli, [configure the server](Server-configuration) accordingly[](.html)

 212 ## Additional configuration
 213
 214 The `playvideos` plugin may require that you adapt your server's
 215 [Content Security Policy](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/blob/master/plugins/playvideos/README.md#troubleshooting)
 216 configuration to work properly.
