Configuration Changes

Note that MyEGEE is no longer part of the release. We do not modify the config of existing myegee instances, but on a fresh install MyEGEE is not installed. All configuration variables MYEGEE_* can be removed.

There are many configuration changes in the area of DB Handling. Most importantly there is now only one set of DB parameters (with defaults). You will need to set the DB_PASS to the existing password for the mrs user (normally it would have been MYEGI_DATABASE_PASSWORD.

DB_TYPE=mysql
DB_USER=mrs
DB_NAME=mrs
DB_PASS=

These are used for ATP, MDDB, MRS, MyEGI configuration. All other DB configuration parameters can be removed.

The following SECRET_KEY parameters are no longer used:

ATP_WEB_SECRET_KEY
MYEGI_SECRET_KEY
