Installation read me needs to set expectations

ramakrishp · December 19, 2019, 4:36pm

https://developer.nearbyshops.org/installation/installation-guide.html - After step 5 - It is better explicitly mention that - application requires some default VAR need to be set before. I had manually add those values to configuration file whenever java throws a runtime exception. Or the sample configuration file should already have those set to default values. So one won’t hit the issues.

for example these values :

min_service_account_balance = 0
5 smtp_port = 1234
6 enable_login_using_otp = true
7 delivery_range_for_shop_max = 20
8 delivery_range_for_shop_min = 1
9 app_service_charge_for_pick_from_shop = 1
10 app_service_charge_for_home_delivery = 10
11 min_account_balance_for_shop_owner = 1
12 referral_credit_for_shop_owner_registration = 10
13 referral_credit_for_end_user_registration = 11
14 joining_credit_for_shop_owner = 10
15 joining_credit_for_end_user = 13

the sample configuration file you have downloaded from the downloads section is very old …

Sorry these files were not updated … until then please download the file here

github.com

NearbyShops/Nearby-Shops-API/blob/master/api_config_example.properties

# Example API Configuration File Updated on 13 November 2017

# base url use ip "0.0.0.0" for global access and localhost for local access
# adjust ip and port number according to your requirements
base.url = http://0.0.0.0:5121


# JDBC connection URL for connecting to Postgres DB.
# jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database_name is the format for the JDBC url. Because the database and api is on the same
# machine we use localhost and we also need to provide the database name. You need to create a new database after you
# have done that you can put the name of the database in the JDBC url
connection.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/nearbyshopsdb


# Create a database then assign username and password then put those values here
postgres.username = user_name_of_your_choice
postgres.password = password_of_your_choice


# admin account for managing the service
