Configuring Waiter

Open the waiter-config.yaml file you have created in an editor, and set the following parameters:

cookBaseURL

Set this to URL of your Cook. For example:

cookBaseURL: "http://my-cook.com:8101/"

publications/name

Set this to the name of your Escenic publication. For example:

publications:
 - name: "dailynews"

publications/hostNames

Here you can add a list of host names you want to be associated with the publication. For example:

   hostNames:
    - "www.dailynews.net"
    - "www.dailynews.com"

publications/templateDir

Here you must specify the path of the folder containing the Twig templates to be used for rendering this publication. The demo includes a set of templates located here:

   templateDir: "../templates"

but if you are working with an existing publication, then you will need to set this property to point to a folder containing the publication's templates.

devmode

Add this and set it to true:

devmode: true

(Doing this ensures that links in the publication will work in your local set-up.)

browserSyncURL

Leave this set to:

browserSyncUrl: http://localhost:3000

When this parameter is set, the Waiter is automatically updated with any changes you make to

log-file

Make sure that this is set to point to a writeable location. For example:

log-file: "../log/waiter.log"
