Title: Automatic System Restore Process
Post by: Chris Keenan on September 24, 2003, 10:19:33 AM

Just checking to see if this has occured to anyone using e smith on their servers.  We have a client who runs their own server with the latest full version of e mith before the beta versions running on their server.   On friday we had an external party initialise apache to be able to run php on the server.  Everything ran fine untill we all returned to work on monday morning.  Without the server being touched by anyone it had reverted back to the old configuration with apache not setup.  What we are wondering is there and automatic process to restore apache config file on the server that is going to continually do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you edit the configuration file directly, or did you edit the template.

E-Smith recreates configuration files from the templates, so if you edit a configurations file directly, the next time e-smith recreates the files your changes will be lost..

the templates are in /etc/e-smith/templates
