Where does a port store a saved configuration file?
Hello list, I had a question regarding where in FreeBSD5.3 the configuration file for a port is stored. I've been trying to find the saved configuration file that Snort created upon me selecting what options to include during the make install. I had included support for Prelude, since I've never used it before, I figured I'd try it out. Unfortunately, prelude has not been updated for Snort 2.0 yet. I'm trying to find the saved configuration file so that I can remove it and reselect what options I want snort built with, but no luck. Anyone know where it's located at? thanks __ Do You Yahoo!?

Anyone know where it's located at? /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk says that you can use `make showconfig' to see the current config, and `make rmconfig' to clear it. I haven't thus far tracked down where the config is stored...

Anyone know where it's located at? thanks Hello, If the port uses the OPTIONS variable (in the Makefile) the configuration is at /var/db/ports/portname, and you can change it with make config, show it with make showconfig and remove it with make rmconfig. If the port uses a shell script (ports that have a subdirectory called scripts with a file usually called config), it usually creates a file called Makefile.inc in the port directory, that is included by the port Makefile and it is removed when you do a make clean.

For snort, it's in /var/db/ports/snort/options. Some other ports generate a Makefile.inc file in the port directory. -- Matt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Where does a port store a saved configuration file?
I should have specified that the port never properly built and installed itself. I got a few responses ran a make rmconfig. Then reinstalled and it's all cool now. hey you learn something new everyday --- Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 2005-04-26 08:28, scott renna [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello list, I had a question regarding where in FreeBSD5.3 the configuration file for a port is stored.
