# System Environment
These are the system level settings that can be used to tweak Chevereto-Free provisioning.
# Passing values
To pass settings to Chevereto-Free is recommended to use system level environment variables.
Settings file
If is not possible to use environment variables you can use the settings file to configure the Chevereto-Free variables.
# Apache HTTP Web Server (PHP module)
If PHP is provided using mpm_prefork you must refer to the documentation on Apache HTTP Server environment variables (opens new window). You may check our real use cases at chevereto/vultr-marketplace (opens new window).
# Other setups
For these you will be running PHP-FPM (opens new window) so you can add those settings at your php-fpm.conf file.
# Application servers
For these you will be running PHP CLI so you should be able to pass those at php.ini for your CLI. You can also export those in your shell. Refer to the documentation of each application server for the best way to pass those to Chevereto.
