When Dédalo is downloaded from GitHub, some config files should be configured with the proper parameters. All those config files come with a 'sample' prefix that need to be removed from the names to get the functionality.
The first step would be locating and renaming config files from their original value in GitHub to target file names that Dédalo can will locate and use. Some of these files may already be renamed, if you was followed the installation and configuration process and you will use the same server for the back-end and front-end, but if you want create a separate publication server you will need rename this files in the publication server.

Rename public API server config file
server_config_api.php
This config file sets the public API server. This file will be used to configure all server parameters for the public API. It is independent from the back-end config files and has its own properties and DDBB connection. The API server files can be moved to other server machines, to create an independent space for the public websites because the server API is not connected to the back-end.
Public API is located in ../httpdocs/dedalo/lib/dedalo/publication/server_api/v1/ and it has its own config file.
