#4145 [DEV] /etc/httpd/conf.d/xcat.conf is missing after xcat upgrade

[yangsong]

this problem is reported in xcat-user mailing list:

Hi,

After updating to xCAT-2.8.4-snap201405120509.x86_64 the /install
directory of the xcatmaster's httpd is not available any more because
the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/xcat.conf is missing. Is this intended?

Best regards,

Markus Hillenbrand

need more info to track this problem

We still need more details to recreate this problem.

The work around is:

1. determine the httpd/apache version:
   #rpm -qa|grep -E '(httpd|apache)'

2. save the appropriate xcat.conf in the attachments according to the httpd/apache release:

if the httpd version is 2.4.x, download the xcat.conf.apach24 and save it as /etc/httpd/conf.d/xcat.conf, otherwise, download the xcat.conf and save it as /etc/httpd/conf.d/xcat.conf.

if the apache version is 2.4.x, download the xcat.conf.apach24 and save it as /etc/apache2/conf.d/xcat.conf, otherwise, download the xcat.conf and save it as /etc/apache2/conf.d/xcat.conf.

I am presuming the following commit

b6658bd232abcd354f0bd80db98809acbfa86c7b

fixed the problem; I have a custom RPM for the current project; so was going to re-produce the rpm with the fix

thanks
