Hi Lars,
httpd.conf should have been changed.
In the UPDATE script, there is a line called:
"make postinstall"
The "make postinstall" calls another target:
"make webserverconf"
which calls webserverconf.piml which generates the
following code
(as can be seen by,
cd loncom/build; make LAUNCH='| more' webserverconf)
--beginsnippet--
$flag=0;
open(IN,'</etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf');
while (<IN>) {
if (/^\s*Include\s+conf\/loncapa_apache.conf/) {
$flag=1;
}
}
close(IN);
unless ($flag==1) {
open(OUT,'>>/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf');
print(OUT 'Include conf/loncapa_apache.conf'."\n");
close(OUT);
}
--endsnippet--
So, would you please give a repeatable recipe for the error you are finding,
because I cannot figure it out with the information you have provided.
Regards,
Scott
