Settings
Your MySQL details are stored in data/config.php. This file doesn't exist until you installed Lychee. If you need to change your connection details, you can edit this file manually.
$dbHost = "Your MySQL host (in most cases you can use localhost)";
$dbUser = "Your MySQL username";
$dbPassword = "Your MySQL password";
$dbName = "The name of the database you want to use";Fill these properties with your MySQL information. Lychee will create the database and tables for you, if they doesn't exist.
All settings are stored in the database. You can change the properties manually, but we recommend to use the menu in Lychee. You can find this menu on the top left corner after you signed in. Some of these settings are only changeable directly in the database.
username = Username for Lychee (hashed)
password = Password for Lychee (hashed)
Your photos and albums are protected by a username and password. If both rows are empty, Lychee will prompt you to set them.
checkForUpdates = [0|1]
If 1, Lychee will check if you are using the latest version. The notice will be displayed beside the version-number when you sign in.
sortingAlbums = ORDER BY [field] [ASC|DESC]

This key is required to use the Dropbox import feature from your server. Lychee will ask you for this key, the first time you try to use the import. You can get your personal drop-ins app key from their website.
dropboxKey = Your personal App Key
imagick = [0|1]
If 1, Lychee will use Imagick when available. Disable Imagick if you have problems or if you are using an outdated version. Lychee will use GD when Imagick is disabled or not available.
skipDuplicates = [0|1]
If 1, Lychee will skip the upload of existing photos.
deleteImported = [0|1]
If 1 (default), Lychee will attempt to delete photos imported using the "Import from Server" feature.
php_script_limit = [0|1]
If 1, Lychee will bypass PHP's script execution time limit. This is designed for big imports and should only be used sparingly, resetting to 0 when not required.

If 1, Lychee will call exiftool to obtain more EXIF data when uploading or importing new photos. If 0, it will use PHP's built in exif_read_data function.
