# Begin /etc/sysconfig/soprano

SOPRANO_STORAGE="/srv/soprano"
SOPRANO_BACKEND="virtuosobackend"        # virtuoso, sesame2, redland
SOPRANO_OPTIONS="--with-index"           # using CLucene index
#SOPRANO_OPTIONS="$SOPRANO_OPTIONS --port 4711"  # Default port is 5000

# End /etc/sysconfig/soprano
EOF
