## Migrate to dotenv
SilverStripe 4 requires the use of `.env` and "real" environment variables instead of `_ss_environment.php` for your environment configuration.
You'll need to move your constants to a new `.env` file before SilverStripe will build successfully.
If you are not able to move your webserver away from using `_ss_environment.php` files, you can use [this example file](https://gist.github.com/robbieaverill/74fbfff6f438c94f6325107e4d7b2a45) and include it at the top of your `mysite/_config.php` file. This will export your constants as environment variables.
