It goes in "base-dir" You can place it elsewhere, but "elsewhere" isn't
the default. Stick with the default for now.

Looks like good perl syntax. Have you checked the YAML file for syntax
errors? YAML is /very picky/ about whitespace. The YAML shell (ysh) is a
good debugging aid. e.g.:

$ cat aic.yml
---
name: aic
static:
  no_logs: 0
imgdir: /root/images

$ ysh < aic.yml
$VAR1 = {
  'imgdir' => '/root/images',
  'name' => 'aic',
  'static' => {
    'no_logs' => '0'
  }
};

[EDIT AIC.YML]

$ cat aic.yml
---
name: aic
 static:
  no_logs: 0
imgdir: /root/images

$ ysh < aic.yml
YAML Error: Inconsistent indentation level
   Code: YAML_PARSE_ERR_INCONSISTENT_INDENTATION

Also, some kind soul has provided yml-mode for Emacs.
