Advanced Config

Purpose

Advanced Config exposes low-level configuration properties.

Use it for precise repair or expert tuning when a named setting is known.

What You Can Do Here

  • Advanced Config exposes low-level configuration properties.
  • Read the current value before changing it.
  • Verify the effect on the public page, status page, or related administration page.

Page Architecture

Configuration pages usually contain persistent settings. A visible form writes values into YaCy configuration, while the backend may reload subsystems such as language files, network listeners, cache handling, or search presentation.

Control Meaning Values or examples

Correct Use

Read the current value before changing it. Configuration changes often persist beyond the current request and may affect later crawling, search, network contact, authentication, or resource use. Change one operational idea at a time and verify the result.

Access And Safety

Administrator access is required. YaCy protects _p pages as administration pages.

Protected related endpoint(s): /ConfigProperties_p.html.

Backend checks: transaction token for protected POST, transaction token issued for forms.

Automation And API

Page backend: source/net/yacy/htroot/ConfigProperties_p.java.

Endpoint Method Access Backend
/ConfigProperties_p.html POST admin source/net/yacy/htroot/ConfigProperties_p.java

Parameter Guide

The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default. Low-level generated parameters are omitted when they are only meaningful inside the rendered YaCy form.

Parameter Meaning and valid values Care

Example request shape:

POST /ConfigProperties_p.html
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

key=...&value=...

What To Expect

A successful change is visible as a saved value, a confirmation, or changed behavior on a related page. Some settings take effect immediately; others require reconnecting, reloading translations, restarting services, or watching the status page.

  • Related configuration work is usually reached from ConfigBasic.html, Settings_p.html, or the adjacent configuration page in the administration menu.
