10_core.pl

• aliases - Other hostnames for the repository archive and whether they should redirect to the primary hostname.
• host - The primary hostname of the repository archive on HTTP.
• port - The TCP port number to connect to the repository archiver over HTTP. (Typically 80).
• securehost - The primary hostname of the repository archive on HTTPS. Normally the same as host, so typically can be a reference.

20_baseurls.pl

• base_url - URL including protocol and hostname, used as a basis whenever a full URL for a specific location needs to be generated.
• perl_url - URL including protocol and hostname, used as a basis whenever a full URL for a specific CGI script needs to be generated.
• use_long_url_format - Use long URLs for abstract pages / documents (e.g. /id/eprint/1234 or /id/eprint/1234/1/paper.pdf rather than /1234 or /1234/1/paper.pdf. Will redirect from short to long URL rather than the long to short. (Default is 0 to not use long URLs).

adminemail.pl

• adminemail - The email address for the administrator of the repository archive. Will be displayed in contact page and default address email will be sent to and from.
• sendermail - Alternative email address to send email for the repository archive from. Useful if restrictions on where email can be sent from for the domain of the adminemail address. Will still set adminemail in reply-to.
