Bug 190706 – webapp-config overwrites config.php for cacti

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Mike Doty (RETIRED) 2007-08-29 22:29:47 UTC]

webapp-config borked my cacti config because it overwrote config.php without so much as a warning on a -r4 -> -r6 bump. not very fun....

This will sit here pretty much indefinitely unless you show us how and where it overwrote your CONFIG_PROTECTed ${MY_HTDOCSDIR}/include/config.php... For starters, attaching complete emerge output could help.

i had the same experience on my amd64 box with net-analyzer/cacti-0.8.7:
- vhost USE flag is set
- webapp-config -U ... just replaced my include/config.php in the web root
I'll attach an emerge output

Thomas, but can you reproduce this problem another time or was that occasional?

I've seen the same thing.  I simply hacked my local copy to use an external configuration file, but that breaks for USE=vhosts
