Builder Configuration

Overview

The configuration section determines the behaviors and default settings for Burris Builder.

Many of the configurations here are decided upon setup, so to prevent redundancy in the documentation, the sections will point to the original explanation, if applicable.

Domains

Domain Configuration
A base domain without any sub domains is recommended.

Domains determine which domain is used in configuration files for access when create a new website, and the logic of how Route 53 is adjusted.

This section is covered upon setup, under Admin Setup: Step 2

Database

Drupal or WordPress
Change the domain used for Development, Staging or Production servers.

This allows you to designate the database and master credentials which are used to build Drupal, WordPress or custom website databases for each individual level. By default, updating the Development database updates all other databases, unless "Use development credentials" is unchecked from the Staging and Production tabs.

This section is covered upon setup, under Admin Setup: Step 3

Backups

Drupal or WordPress
Choose what happens to website files when the website is deleted using the Edit screen.

This allows you to decide what happens to the infrastructure when a website is deleted in Burris Builder. By default, dev websites are completely deleted when the associated website in Burris Builder is deleted. Stage websites get backed-up and live websites are untouched.

NOTE: All backup options are currently in development status and are not expected to work correctly. This is actively being corrected. This section will be updated when backup status has been resolved

These are the default username and emails for Drupal and WordPress websites. They may also be altered for each individual website as they are created; default settings are merely here for convenience in getting the website launched quicker.

Advanced: Burris Make Location

This applies only to Drupal websites. When a Drupal website is created and distribution is set to "none," Burris Builder uses a custom make file which preloads an assortment of commonly used modules. Where this make file is retrieved may be changed here.

WebDav Users
