Description Jan Pazdziora 2008-04-17 12:37:58 UTC

Description of problem:

In
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/private/rhn-satellite-users/2008-April/msg00108.html
, the customer reports:

FYI regarding http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_49_9020.shtm
In the 5.0.1 -> 5.1 migration, httpd config moves from /etc/httpd to
/etc/rhn/satellite-httpd
(in case you modify your httpd.conf)

Though they transition to use the new directory, your old httpd.conf is
still overwritten ; and in my one test install *not* saved in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/backup-<date stamp> as it has been with prior installs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite 5.1.0.

How reproducible:

Did not try to verify, just took report from the mailing list.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Satellite 5.0.
2. Do some custom changes to httpd.conf.
3. Upgrade to 5.1.
4. Check to see if the old /etc/httpd/httpd.conf was stored somewhere.
  
Actual results:

The file overwritten, custom changes lost.

Expected results:

The file not overwritten at all, or saved in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/backup-<date stamp>.

adelton | cliff: I believe the problem with the httpd.conf might be that we do
rpm -e rhn-apache rather early in the installer. So by the time we populate /etc
from /etc/sysconfig/rhn-satellite-prep, there is nothing in /etc/httpd/conf to
be saved.
adelton | cliff: So the issue seems to be there.
cliff | one of the irst steps in an 'upgrade' we document is to 'perform a
backup'? :)
adelton | cliff: I know.
cliff | done... closed :)
