As mentioned when discussing applications in Chapter 9, Applications and Variable Scope, application preferences are defined in the "Biferno.config.bfr" file located in the application folder. The default file "Biferno.config.bfr " created by Biferno on its first run in the home directory has the following content:

<?
APPLICATION_NAME =	"BifernoMain"; /* Name of the application */
SESSION = false; /* Use session variables? */
SESSION_TIMEOUT = 15; /* Timeouts for session users (minutes) */
MAX_ERRFILES = 2048; /* Max error files in folder ERRORS_FOLDER */
DEVELOPER_IP = "*,local"; /* IPs of developers */
ERRORS_FOLDER =	""; /* Folder for error files */
ERROR_PAGE = ""; /* Page error for non-developer users */
ADMIN_PASSWORD = ""; /* Password for bifernoadmin */
object.Hide(ADMIN_PASSWORD);
ADMIN_IP = ""; /* IPs allowed to access bifernoadmin */
ADMIN_PROTOCOL = "https"; /* Protocols allowed by bifernoadmin */
FILE_NOT_FOUND_PAGE = ""; /* Page to serve if file not found */
CACHE = false; /* Cache files in memory? */
TIMEOUT = 2; /* Scripts Timeout (minutes) */
HEADER = ""; /* Header file path */
FOOTER = ""; /* Footer file path */
ACCESS_CONTROL = ""; /* Security check file */
ACCESS_CONTROL_NOACCESS = ""; /* Security no access file */
ACCESS_CONTROL_REALM = ""; /* Security realm name */
DATE_FORMAT = "d-m-y h:m:s"; /* Default format for dates */
WEBMASTER = "webmaster@mysite.com"; /* WebMaster */
MAIL_HOST = "smtp@mysite.com"; /* Smtp Mail Server Host */
NOTIFY_MAIL_ERR = false; /* Send mail to webmaster if error */
DECIMAL_SEP = ","; /* Decimal separator */
THOUSAND_SEP = "."; /* Thousand separator */
SEARCH_AND = "&"; /* Default search AND operator */
SEARCH_OR = "|"; /* Default search OR operator */
SEARCH_NOT = "!"; /* Default search NOT operator */
SEARCH_WILD = "*"; /* Default search WILD char */
?>
    

Table 3.1, “Biferno Configuration File Variables” provides a listing and explanation of the meaning of all variables. We refer to the corresponding chapter for the details.
