Admin Settings

11.1 Admin Settings

If you are a site administator an "Admin" link should be shown on the left of every page. This takes you to a set of Site Administration pages.

The main admin settings page consists of:

11.1.0 Site and Contact Information

Specify the RAMADDA administator email for when RAMADDA sends email to users. The Mail Server is the smtp mail server that RAMADDA can use to send email. If this is not defined then user's cannot reset their passwords via email.

The Hostname and HTTP port should be set. RAMADDA uses these when it creates an absolute URL in some content (e.g., a generated THREDDS catalog). For information regarding SSL see the FAQ.

For information on the Server Registry settings see remoteservers.html.

11.1.1 Access

Under Site Access you can specify that only registered users are allowe to access the site or only site Administrators.

The anonymous uploads Max Directory Size is the maximum size of the files that are uploaded through the anonymous upload facility. This cap keeps rogue users from filling up the disk via anonymous uploads.

The Cache Size is the size of the cached files that RAMADDA generates (e.g., ftp files). The cache is in: <ramadda home>/tmp/cache

The File System Access is the list of server directories that can RAMADDA can serve files from. When you have a harvester that does not move the files to RAMADDA storage one of the data directories needs to be listed here. Likewise, any Local File View entry needs to be listed here as well.

If you are running the Unidata LDM system on the server machine you can allow RAMADDA services to inject files into the LDM queue by specifying the path to the pqinsert program and the queue location.

11.1.2 Display

The Display settings allow you to change the title of the repostitory, add a footer, etc. The Description is used when registering with external registry servers. While you can always change the HTML templates used the Logo Image Location and URL are a quick way to change what image is shown and the URL that is used when the logo is clicked.

The Translations field is a quick way to define new phrases to use in place of the default phrases that RAMADDA uses.

The Facebook Comments key allows you to integerate the Facebook comments facility. Contact RAMADDA support for more information.

If the Google Maps Key is defined then RAMADDA will use Google Maps (instead of the default Microsoft maps facility).

11.1.3 Available Output Types

This section allows you to restrict the different entry outputs available. For example, you can hide the Data views, the Calendar view, etc.
