setup.php doesn't ship with space for a __CA_BASE_DIR__ setting

ecrosland

Hey all. I'm working through setting up CA for the first time. I reached a point where, when I tried to access my deployment, PHP gave an error due to CA_BASE_DIR not being defined.

There was a reference to this being something that should be set in the setup.php file. And, sure enough, after I set it there, the error went away.

However, what gives me pause is the fact that setup.php didn't come with a spot to define this constant--the way it does for the constants related to the MySQL database, for instance. That makes me wonder if there's a different recommended way to set this, or if it's just been overlooked in the setup.php-dist file that ships with a fresh Providence install.

ecrosland You have used it correctly by putting it into setup.php.
It’s not a setting that usually needs to be set this way, as it’s set automatically in post-setup.php (in another directory). However sometimes, for one reason or another it can’t figure out what to set it automatically and needs to be explicitly set in setup.php. Any setting in post-setup.php can be overridden in setup.php.
