Bug#464726:
Scribit Nigel McNie dies 19/03/2008 hora 16:07: > What part is still broken? I purged mahara packages and installed them back. The default server name was 'mahara', and the /etc/mahara/servername.conf file contains: ServerName mahara Yet, when I go to http://localhost/, I got a page from Mahara, and thus every other page I had available at that web server returns a 404. So this package still totally breaks unrelated packages on installation, with its default settings. I still don't get why you don't setup mahara like most other packagers do, as it is much more safe.

Bug#464726: More info
/etc/mahara/servername.conf contains the following: 8< # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! It is managed by debconf! # It will be overwritten the next time this package is configured. # Use 'dpkg-reconfigure mahara-apache2' instead. ServerName localhost 8< Note that if I do `dpkg-reconfigure -plow mahara-apache2`, I'm only asked one question about a redirection, and even if I let the answer empty, the ServerName remains "localhost". I'm no expert at apache configuration semantics, but it seemed to me that having a section should change apache's configuration globally (thus srewing the local admin's configuration). That's why most other files in /etc/apache2/conf.d just define an Alias (sometimes even commented) and change configuration with Directory sections.

Strange - Mahara installs a virtualhost configuration so shouldn't do this. What is in /etc/mahara/servername.conf? That's managed by debconf, you should have been asked a question for the value to put in there. Furthermore, you are fully encouraged to edit the apache configuration file to suit your server. Mahara does not treat the apache config file as a config file, so you can safely change it and not have to worry about it being overwritten on upgrade. -- Regards, Nigel McNie Catalyst IT Ltd.
