Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Christian Boltz (christian_boltz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: configuration in /etc/mail/postfixadmin for all scripts Initial Comment: Having to edit a script just to change a path or the database login details isn't the best solution. Instead, all scripts should have a configfile in /etc/mail/postfixadmin/ All scripts should still contain useful default values which are used if the config file doesn't exist. This affects: - vacation.pl (done) - postfixadmin-domain-postdeletion.sh, postfixadmin-mailbox-postcreation.sh, postfixadmin-mailbox-postdeletion.sh (basedir, trashbase, PATH) - fetchmail.pl I'm thinking about config.local.php as an exception - if we move it to /etc, the webserver needs read permissions there - which I'd like to avoid. (And it's not unusual for web apps to have a configfile in the same directory as all PHP files.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: GingerDog (gingerdog) Date: 2008-11-03 08:40 Message: I'm fairly sure Debian has a /etc/squirrelmail (for example) that contains the actual .php script. They then have a symlink in e.g /usr/share/squirrelmail/ pointing to the file in /etc/ To me, this is the best option, as people tend to backup /etc with e.g. tar -zcf etc.tar.gz /etc and assume they've caught all config files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=937967&aid=2214522&group_id=191583 |
