The default.settings.php file has various vendor-specific assumptions embedded in it.

[kfogel]

The source/webapp/sites/default/default.settings.php file has a number of vendor-specific assumptions written into it, in the section at the end following this line:

//****************CheckBook Project Settings*******

For example:

http://192.168.3.24:8088/solr-checkbook/

and

'PGPASSWORD=webuser1 psql -h mdw4 -U webuser1 checkbook'

etc. They'll be fairly obvious when looked for.

Proposed solution: templatize those parameters, and add better comments around them, and in INSTALL.md (and SOLR-INSTALL.md if necessary) make it clear that the values in this part of default.settings.php need attention during the install process.
