Description jim 1999-10-20 04:16:12 UTC

When upgrading from RH 6.0 to RH 6.1 ...
The next thing I noticed was that my "IP Aliases for Virtual
Host" no longer worked.  It turns out the scripts are broken
and can't handle ranges of IP addresses (i.e.
208.34.16.194-222).  There amy also be other problems with
it, I don't know.  My fix for this may not have been the
best, but I was running out of time.  Anyway, my fix was to:

1) Save the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
directory (actually I just renamed it to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.RH61).

2)Extract the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
directory from my last backup.

3) Copy the network-functions file from the new RH61
distribution into the newly extracted directory.

4) Issue the following command.
/etc/rc.d/init/network restart

Grab the latest initscripts from Raw Hide; this should solve the problem.
