Installation defaults tip

I was tired of filling out the install wizard every time I needed to re-install the appdev framework. So I decided to find a solution. I am documenting it here because I think it is helpful for developers. Also, it is related to the problem of how to feed sensible defaults to the Travis CI environment, when we start doing continuous integration tests of our framework.

Edit the file install/data/init_values.js and fill in the values that your particular environment needs. Note that for Windows paths (e.g. the value dbPathMySQL) the backslashes need to be double escaped. I'm not sure why at this point.

To specify an admin password (step 5 of the wizard) you will also need to modify the file svc_initialValues.js, line 439. I'm not sure exactly why at this point.

Anyway, making those modifications should enable you to click through the wizard without getting any errors about required fields.
