### Changing the config path only
In situations where you want to keep the PrivateBin static files separate from the
rest of your data, or you want to reuse the installation files on multiple vhosts,
you may only want to change the `conf.php`. In this instance, you can set the
`CONFIG_PATH` environment variable to the absolute path to the `conf.php` file.
This can be done in your web server's virtual host config, the PHP config, or in
the index.php if you choose to customize it.
Note that your PHP process will need read access to the config wherever it may be.
> #### CONFIG_PATH example
> Setting the value in an Apache Vhost:
> SetEnv CONFIG_PATH /var/lib/privatebin/conf.php
>
> In a php-fpm pool config:
> env[CONFIG_PATH] = /var/lib/privatebin/conf.php
>
> In the index.php, near the top:
> putenv('CONFIG_PATH=/var/lib/privatebin/conf.php');
