The FRAMEWORK COMES with its own configuration system allowing you to parameterize the HTTP server. The settings for the configuration can be stored either in a text FILE with syntax close to the INI format or as a complete Python dictionary.

To configure the CherryPy server INSTANCE, the developer needs to use the global section of the settings.

global_conf = {
'global': {
'server.socket_host': 'localhost',
'server.socket_port': 8080,
},
}
application_conf = {
'/style.css': {
'tools.staticfile.on': True,
'tools.staticfile.filename': os.path.join(_curdir, 'style.css'),
}
}
This could be represented in a file like this:
[global]
server.socket_host = "localhost"
server.socket_port = 8080
[/style.css]
tools.staticfile.on = True
tools.staticfile.filename = "/full/path/to.style.css"
