Panel Configuration

In this article

Configuration File

The next step is to tune Client Panel settings. If you are using default deployment the configuration is located at /opt/jerasoft/vcs-data/conf/cp-customer-params.json. If you are moving panel to the other host, the file should be located in <YOUR-PATH>/portal-backend/config/customer-params.json.

During the installation process the file is pre-created with all general settings like billing credentials, tokens, etc. At the same time there is a set of parameters that can be configured like:

Payment gateway credentials
Default locale and output settings
Date and time formatting options
Rates and costs rounding

In order to simplify the process your deployment provides file /opt/jerasoft/vcs/portal-backend/config/customer-params.default.json. This file has all the available settings with their default values. You do not need to change this file, it is provided as a reference.

Per Reseller Configuration

The structure of the your configuration file allows you to have different settings for different Resellers in the system. By default the file contains a single section called "default" with all custom settings. If you want to have multiple Client Panels (for example separated by domain names), you need to add another section with a simple distinguishable name and put all related settings in this section. The name may consist of latin characters, numbers, minus and underscore characters.

After that you need to pass this name from your web-server to the panel using FastCGI parameter called "CONFIG_ID". It will tell panel which part of config to read in order to display related Client Panel. If you are using nginx as your web server use following statement to pass the parameters:

Nginx Config

fastcgi_param CONFIG_ID "special";

Configuration Options

As mentioned above you can use /opt/jerasoft/vcs/portal-backend/config/customer-params.default.json file as a reference for all available parameters. The table below describes each of them. Please put all settings into your config file and do not change customer-params.default.json as it will be overwritten on the system update.
