<title>Configuring ljconfig.pl</title>
<para>
You need to make a LiveJournal configuration file. There's an
example <literal>ljconfig.pl</literal> in the doc directory by the
name of "<filename>ljconfig.pl.txt</filename>". You need to copy
this file to <filename>cgi-bin/ljconfig.pl</filename> and then
edit it to suit your needs.

<para>
The reason it's not there already is so that future upgrades don't
destroy your configuration. The end of
<filename>ljconfig.pl</filename> reads in
<filename>ljdefaults.pl</filename> so that if we add new options,
<filename>ljdefaults.pl</filename> will be updated and will set
sane defaults. After an upgrade you want to glance at
<filename>ljdefaults.pl</filename> (or the original
<filename>doc/ljconfig.pl.txt</filename>) and see if there are any
new options you feel like setting.
