[orion-dev] Orion server configuration changes

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have replaced the random assortment of
system properties and preferences in Orion with a stream-lined "server
configuration file", somewhat like httpd.conf in Apache. You can now
drop this orion.conf file into an Orion install and no longer have to edit
or create arcane files to configure your server every time you grab a new
build (jjb this means you!).

You can read up on the various properties
available in this file in the updated server admin guide:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Server_admin_guide

For those launching Orion from an Eclipse
desktop launch configuration, I have added a server config file called
web-ide.conf that works with the "web ide" launch configuration
in org.eclipse.orion.client.core. This file has a template of all possible
options, so you can uncomment them at your convenience during development:

#This file is used to configure Orion during
development when launching using an Eclipse launch configuration
#For details see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Server_admin_guide

#uncomment this line to use hierarchical
user content layout based on user id
#orion.file.layout=userTree

#uncomment this line to allow only the
admin user to create accounts
#orion.auth.user.creation=admin

#uncomment this line to cause newly created
projects to be initialized as git repositories
#orion.file.defaultSCM=git

#uncomment one of these lines to enable
linking files outside the server workspace location
#orion.file.allowedPaths=/home/orion
#orion.file.allowedPaths=C:\workspaces\orion\

#comment out this line to disable anonymous
read access to files in your launched server
orion.file.anonymous.read=true

#uncomment this line to configure virtual
hosts used for site launching
#orion.site.virtualHosts=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2
