                        included here will be assumed to have a multiplier
                        value of 0. The values are integers, typically in the
                        range of 0 to 10. If you would like for a resolution to
                        not count towards effectiveness, set the value to 0 for
                        that resolution or remove it from the array completely.
                        Note that these resolution multipliers are stacked on
                        top of the severity multipliers. Therefore by default,
                        a user reporting many duplicate bugs at severity level
                        BLOCK will be far worse off than a user reporting many

            FTP server. When bugs are uploaded to the webserver they are
            uploaded to the path that is configured in the project
            properties.In case of problems getting the file upload feature to
            work, check the following resources:

                                    methods so this needs to be chosen at install time. MD5 is the default.

            users who are limited by their ISP to have one database.
        </para>

                    <para>Specifies the prefix to be use for all table names. The
                        default value is 'mantis'. If you override the default prefix, make
                        sure to update doc/db_generate.sql file before generating your
                        database. The other option is to import db_generate.sql as is, then
                        rename the tables to match the new prefix.
                    </para>

                    <para>The prefix is used to help make sure table names are unique.

                            assigning the new prefix). An example of these variables is:

                <listitem>
                    <para>specifies the file where the log data goes. This file must
                        be writable by the web server userid running MantisBT. Right now,
                        only "file:&lt;file path&gt;" is supported. For example,
                        $g_log_destination = 'file:/tmp/mantis_log';
                        See http://www.php.net/error_log for details.
