Where are Kohana config files?

Question

I've just installed Kohana 3.0.4.2 and I have run the index.php file successfully. According to the documentation, the next step is to edit the config files in the application/config folder. I have that folder but there are no files in it! I downloaded the package again to make sure it wasn't corrupted, but the same problem exists. Why is the application/config folder empty?

You're probably looking at outdated (2.*) documentation. The only config file to edit after an install is application/bootstrap.php. There is some configuration in index.php, but you really shouldn't be touching that unless you want to change the directories things are stored in.

The config folder is used for config files of your custom classes. Since you obviously don't have any in an empty project, the folder is empty. You can see an example of them in use by looking at system/config, where the config files for some of the system classes lie.

As of now, the best docs are the unofficial Kohana wiki. There's also the official docs, but they're a work in progress.
