Config file
===========

You can customize the default settings of Kanboard by adding a file `config.php` at the project root or in the `data` folder.
You can also rename the file `config.default.php` to `config.php` and change the desired values.

Enable/Disable debug mode
-------------------------

```php
define('DEBUG', false);

The debug mode logs all SQL queries and the time taken to generate pages.

Debug file path
---------------

```php
define('DEBUG_FILE', __DIR__.'/data/debug.log');

All debug information are saved in this file.
If you prefer to send logs to `stdout` or `stderr` replace the value by `php://stdout` or `php://stderr`.
