# ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES / COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS LIST

Most of the AyaNova configuration is stored inside the database, however anything related to starting the server can not be stored in the database and so environment variables or command line parameters are used to control server start up settings.

These values can all be specified as an environment variable or as a command line parameter.  In cases where both are specified, the command line parameter takes precedence.
