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>. Additional info:
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 :)
