From e33125c84125e7f065da48f05850e81ee4b11bdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben T Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:52:08 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update INSTALL-ubuntu.md This uses the new environment variables; by duplicating the sample config and suggesting similar changes. It's not exactly perfect as it still has the sample config problem, just to a much lesser extent. It may help to ship a "most commonly changed" configuration [db name + user/pass, hostname, smtp] that can be duplicated from and easily edited.
