Upgrade to 1.3.31 changes document root

2004-08-01 Thread Brian C
Hi,

I run Debian testing. I had Apache 1.3.29 installed and working fine,
using name-based virtual hosting to host several websites.

I upgraded to 1.3.31 this morning and it changed the default document
root back to /var/www because now ALL of my virtual hosts point to the
index.html file in /var/www. THIS IS BAD!

The strange thing is that /etc/apache/httpd.conf was not altered at all
during the upgrade process. The timestamp is still correct and all my
virtual hosts are still listed. What file did the upgrade change?

I also have apache-ssl and apache-perl installed, but haven't ever 
tried to use them.

Please help me get these websites back online! Thanks.

Hello again,

I got the sites back up, but still have a question. Here's what I did.

Copied /etc/apache/httpd.conf over every other httpd.conf file I could
find, including ones in /usr/share/apache/default-configs/apache-ssl and
/usr/share/apache/default-configs/apache-perl as well as
/etc/apache-ssl/ and /etc/apache-perl/.

Then from /etc/init.d/ I did
$ ./apache stop
$ ./apache-ssl stop
$ ./apache-perl stop

and then 

$ ./apache start

and everything came back. Any thoughts on what caused my earlier 
problem? I realize that I look like a newbie here. It's because I am.

Brian
