The refdbdrc variables

Table 11-1. refdbdrc

Variable Default Comment
refdblib (none) The path of the directory containing shareable refdb files like DTDs, HTML templates etc. If this variable is set, it will override the environment variable REFDBLIB.
dbsport 3306 The port on which the database server (mysqld) listens.
logdest 2 The destination of the log information. 0 = print to stderr (for debugging only, don't use when running as a daemon); 1 = use the syslog facility; 2 = use a custom logfile. The latter needs a proper setting of logfile.
logfile /var/log/refdbd.log The full path of a custom log file. This is used only if logdest is set appropriately. If you start refdbd from the command line as a regular user, you should specify a file that you have write access to (you may not be allowed to create /var/log/refdb.log or write to this file as a regular user).
loglevel 6 The log level up to which messages will be sent. A low setting (0) allows only the most important messages, a high setting (7) allows all messages including debug messages. -1 means nothing will be logged.
pidfile /var/log/refdb.pid The file refdbd writes its process ID to. If you start refdbd from the command line as a regular user, you should specify a file that you have write access to (you may not be allowed to create /var/log/refdb.pid or write to this file as a regular user).
port 9734 The port on which refdbd listens.
remoteadmin 0 Set this to 1 to allow remote administration via refdba.
serverip 127.0.0.1 The IP address or hostname of the machine where the database server runs. Use the default (localhost) address if the database server and refdbd run on the same machine.
timeout 60 The timeout in seconds. After this time has elapsed, a stalled connection is taken down. Increase this value if you encounter frequent timeout errors due to high network traffic.
