After [installing](INSTALL.md) this software, you may need to carry out some of these configuration steps, depending on your tasks.
+## Application configuration
+
+Many settings are available in `config/settings.yml`. You can customize your installation of The Rails Port by overriding these values using `config/settings.local.yml`
+
## Populating the database
Your installation comes with no geographic data loaded. You can either create new data using one of the editors (Potlatch 2, iD, JOSM etc) or by loading an OSM extract.
-After installing but before creating any users or data, import an extract with [Osmosis](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis) and the [``--write-apidb``](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--write-apidb_.28--wd.29) task.

```
osmosis --read-pbf greater-london-latest.osm.pbf \
user="openstreetmap" password="" validateSchemaVersion="no"
```
-Loading an apidb database with Osmosis is about **twenty** times slower than loading the equivalent data with osm2pgsql into a rendering database. [``--log-progress``](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--log-progress_.28--lp.29) may be desirable for status updates.

To be able to edit the data you have loaded, you will need to use this [yet-to-be-written script](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/282).
* Everything else can be left with the default blank values.
* Click the "Register" button
* On the next page, copy the "consumer key"
-* Edit config/application.yml in your rails tree
-* Uncomment and change the "potlatch2_key" configuration value
+* Edit config/settings.local.yml in your rails tree
+* Add the "potlatch2_key" configuration key and the consumer key as the value
* Restart your rails server

## Maintaining your installation
## Testing on the osm dev server
-For example, after developing a patch for the rails_port, you might want to demonstrate it to others or ask for comments and testing. To do this one can [set up an instance of the rails_port on the dev server in ones user directory](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_the_dev_server#Rails_Applications).

# Contributing
* Passenger will, by design, use the Production environment and therefore the production database - make sure it contains the appropriate data and user accounts.
* Your production database will also need the extensions and functions installed - see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)
* The included version of the map call is quite slow and eats a lot of memory. You should consider using [CGIMap](https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap) instead.
-* The included version of the GPX importer is slow and/or completely inoperable. You should consider using [the high-speed GPX importer](http://git.openstreetmap.org/gpx-import.git/).
-* Make sure you precompile the production assets: `RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile`

+* Make sure you generate the i18n files and precompile the production assets: `RAILS_ENV=production rake i18n:js:export assets:precompile`
* Make sure the web server user as well as the rails user can read, write and create directories in `tmp/`.
