First, I did a manual installation from a zip into my Ubuntu server and everything is working nicely. I can login, create and save issues, etc. So I'm 99% golden.
But...
The first thing I noticed after installing is that there is no config_inc.php file anywhere. In the root folder there is config_default_inc.php. So my first thought was that I should copy that file and rename it to config_inc.php. But then I'm also seeing in the /config directory there is config_inc.php.sample. Again, I assume I should copy that file and rename.
Cutting to the chase: I have tried customizing both configs, in turn, and even implementing both, in each folder. MantisBT simply ignores anything I do in either file.
My evidence:
- I have changed the default string in $g_window_title and nothing changes in the UI. I logged out and back in. Admittedly this is a very small thing, but it proves that both my configs are being ignored.
- I have implemented SMTP, yet no emails go out. No errors either. I know my SMTP settings are valid because I have tested them successfully in external apps. I also read the email setup instructions here on this forum, and followed those precisely.
./config_inc.php
./config/config_inc.php
I have customized both.
So now to my stupid question: which config file should I be customizing, and in which folder?
Thanks in advance for any help.
