Hi,  
Complete newb here trying to get an installation happening on AWS using EC2 (Ubuntu 16.05LTS), PostgreSQL, Redis.  
Im following the under 30 minute guide as well as [http://stroupaloop.com/blog/discourse-setup-using-aws/](http://stroupaloop.com/blog/discourse-setup-using-aws/)

I noticed in the app.yml file, there are no options to specify database. Is it just a point of adding in the following with my settings into the yml file?

Thanks in advance

Todd

```plaintext
  DISCOURSE_DB_SOCKET: ''
  DISCOURSE_DB_NAME: [AWS_POSTGRES_DB_NAME]
  DISCOURSE_DB_POOL: 15
  DISCOURSE_DB_USERNAME: [AWS_POSTGRES_DB_USERNAME]
  DISCOURSE_DB_PASSWORD: [AWS_POSTGRES_DB_PASSWORD]
  DISCOURSE_DB_HOST: [AWS_POSTGRES_ENDPOINT]
  DISCOURSE_REDIS_HOST: [AWS_REDIS_ENDPOINT]

```
