ultra2 ~ # /etc/init.d/boa start
 * You need a /var/www/localhost/htdocs/boa.conf to run Boa
 * There is a sample file in /usr/share/docs/boa

This is broken behavior...the config file should really go in /etc, especially
considering that /etc/boa/ already exists.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




I haven't checked any other versions as I don't have time at the moment, but
tigger's entry for 0.94.14_rc21 in the Changelog looks rather suspicious.

Rob, you were the last one to touch this.  Any idea why on earth the init
script's checkconfig() does what it does?

/etc/boa/boa.conf should really be the only valid location.

Comment 2 Matt Thompson 2007-01-06 12:30:36 UTC

All that is needed is to change /etc/conf.d/boa from:

BOA_OPTS="-c /var/www/localhost/htdocs"

to:

BOA_OPTS="-c /etc/boa"

The -c specifies the directory containing boa.conf, so BOA_OPTS should not reference /var/www/localhost/htdocs as it's not placed there.

Doesn't go anywhere; sending to treecleaners.
