5Once your Shaarli instance is installed, the file `data/config.json.php` is generated: 3Once 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
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

11## File and directory permissions
12
13The 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
28On 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
