Request - Documentation for settings.py

[Dean Ang Gmail]

Dear Chris,
When I setup a development server or try to deploy numbas at my server, I faced many frustrations when it comes to configurating settings.py.

Can I ask for a documentation of what the followings do, together with an example of numbas file structure/rights, and example settings, and a simple explanation of what the setting(s) do?
(i) STATIC_URL / STATIC_ROOT 

(ii) MEDIA_ROOT / MEDIA_URL

(ii) Global Settings

(a)'NUMBAS_PATH':

(b) 'PREVIEW_PATH':

(c) 'PREVIEW_URL':

Thanks

STATIC_URL, STATIC_ROOT, MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL are all settings from Django. There are links to documentation in the lines above them in settings.py.dist, but for completeness, here's that link again: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/ref/settings/

NUMBAS_PATH is the absolute path of the Numbas compiler on your filesystem.

PREVIEW_PATH is the absolute path to where exam previews should be stored, on your filesystem. 

PREVIEW_URL is the URL under which exam previews are served. You need to configure your web server to serve files from PREVIEW_PATH under this URL. If you followed the instructions at https://docs.numbas.org.uk/en/latest/server-installation/ubuntu-web.html#configuration then the values in settings.py.dist will work.
