env.php reference

The env.php file contains the following sections:

backend

Configure the frontName for the Commerce admin url using the backend node in env.php.

'backend' => [
  'frontName' => 'admin'
]

cache

Configure redis page and default caching by using cache node in the env.php file.

'cache' => [
    'frontend' => [
        'default' => [
            'backend' => 'Magento\\Framework\\Cache\\Backend\\Redis',
            'backend_options' => [
                'server' => '127.0.0.1',
                'database' => '0',
                'port' => '6379'
            ],
        ],

]

consumers_wait_for_messages

Specify whether consumers should continue polling for messages if the number of processed messages is less than the max_messages value. The default value is 1.

'queue' => [
    'consumers_wait_for_messages' => 1
]

The following options are available:

• 1—Consumers continue to process messages from the message queue until reaching the max_messages value specified in the env.php file before closing the TCP connection and terminating the consumer process. If the queue empties before reaching the max_messages value, the consumer waits for more messages to arrive.

  We recommend this setting for large merchants because a constant message flow is expected and delays in processing are undesirable.

• 0—Consumers process available messages in the queue, close the TCP connection, and terminate. Consumers do not wait for additional messages to enter the queue, even if the number of processed messages is less than the max_messages value specified in the env.php file. This can help prevent issues with cron jobs caused by long delays in message queue processing.

  We recommend this setting for smaller merchants that do not expect a constant message flow and prefer to conserve computing resources in exchange for minor processing delays when there could be no messages for days.

cron

Enable or disable cron jobs for the Commerce application. By default, cron jobs are enabled. To disable them, add the cron configuration to the env.php file and set the value to 0.

'cron' => [
  'enabled' => 0
]

crypt

Commerce uses an encryption key to protect passwords and other sensitive data. This key is generated during the installation process.

'crypt' => [
  'key' => '63d409380ccb1182bfb27c231b732f05'
]

db

All database configurations are available in this node.

'db' => [
  'table_prefix' => '',
  'connection' => [
    'default' => [
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'dbname' => 'magento_db',
      'username' => 'root',
      'password' => 'admin123',
      'model' => 'mysql4',
      'engine' => 'innodb',
      'initStatements' => 'SET NAMES utf8;',
      'active' => '1'
    ]
  ]
]

default_connection

Defines the default connection for message queues. The value can be db, amqp, or a custom queue system like redismq. If you specify any value other than db, the message queue software must be installed and configured first. Otherwise, messages will not be processed correctly.

'queue' => [
    'default_connection' => 'amqp'
]

If queue/default_connection is specified in the system env.php file, this connection is used for all message queues through the system, unless a specific connection is defined in a queue_topology.xml, queue_publisher.xml or queue_consumer.xml file.
For example, if queue/default_connection is amqp in env.php but a db connection is specified in the queue configuration XML files of a module, the module will use MySQL as a message broker.
