Description Josh 2005-05-21 23:11:56 UTC
I expect this is due to a bug with the webapp-config ebuild, but don't know how 
to track it down or determine the package at fault.  It could also be the 
gallery package.  It may be that I misunderstand how webapp-config is supposed 
to work.

Command run was:
emerge  --verbose --update --deep apache mod_php gallery

After this run I found that my installation of gallery was no longer present.  
The albums directory, and config.php were all that was left.  There was an 
installation in /var/www/localhost of the new version of gallery (1.5).  An 
emerge of 1.5 into the directory brought it back to life.  The version of 1.4.
4_p6 had been installed by webapp-config previously.

I expect that the upgrade of webapp-config is what caused the problem, since I 
don't think any of the other ebuilds would know of or mess with the directory.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gallery-1.4.4_p6
2. Install webapp-config 1.10-r11
3. Install gallery to /var/www/gallery.example.com
4. Upgrade webapp-config 

Actual Results:  
The directory /var/www/gallery.example.com/htdocs was emptied, except for the 
config.php file, and the albums subdirectory.

Expected Results:  
When upgrading webapp-config and/or gallery I don't expect to lose a site.  
Worst case I would expect it to be upgraded to the new version, but ideally it 
would be installed in /usr/share/webapps/appname/version for me to update as I 
can.

I have changed my make.conf since the upgrade, adding vhosts to the USE flags.

Comment 1 Stuart Herbert (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-30 05:03:39 UTC
Did you have vhosts in your USE flags when you encountered this problem?

Best regards,
Stu
Comment 2 Josh 2005-05-30 14:30:22 UTC
I added vhosts after the fact, it was not in USE when I installed.  The vhost 
that the app is configured under is not the main host.
Comment 3 Renat Lumpau (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-30 13:07:43 UTC
As far as I understand, webapp-config shouldn't have uninstalled gallery, unless
you executed emerge -C gallery.

Please try with webapp-config-1.11 and gallery-1.5, and reopen the bug if the
problem persists.
