Exim.conf

[thoroughfare]

Hi,

Does Exim use the exim.conf in /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/exim.conf or /etc/exim.conf?

And is the data in the customapache dir just for the purpose of recompiling apache and related components, or does it contain any files actually used for running apache etc.?

Thanks,
Matt :)

/etc/exim.conf

customapache is simply there for the time of the recompile, ONCE everything is compiled the only thing you really need is the build script itself.. (if you want to use it again... or you can delete that also :)

Thanks Chris :)

What's /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/exim.conf for then?

As the directory says, it is a template for the exim.conf file, provided by DirectAdmin. I think you don't need it, unless you want to install DirectAdmin.

It's actually not even used for anything anymore. We include the exim.conf in the rpms now, so I guess you can call it a backup :) But we always keep the latest exim.conf at:
http://files.directadmin.com/services/exim4.conf

PS is the proftpd.conf in the same directory redundant also then?

Thanks,
Matt

[DirectAdmin Support]

The proftpd.conf actually has tokens which need to be "tokenzied" .. so it's an actual template which is used to create the /etc/proftpd.conf. You can have a look to see what I mean, it's just the |SERVER_IP| token, so if you need to restore your /etc/proftpd.conf, just replace that with your server IP.

Ok thanks :)

Hmm.. what about httpd.conf and directadmin.conf?

Thanks,
Matt

Pretty sure they're /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf and /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

[thoroughfare]

No, I meant that they exist too in /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates :)

Matt

[l0rdphi1]

Oh, sorry :)

[DirectAdmin Support]

httpd.conf and directadmin.conf are also tokenized. You can figure it out pretty quick if the have |ANYTHING| like that, they're probably tokenized ;)

[thoroughfare]

Thanks John. But when are they actually used? Will they overwrite the current httpd.conf etc?

Thanks,
Matt

[DirectAdmin Support]

Those main ones are only for installs. Main config files don't get overwritten, only "sub" config files like the user httpd.conf files and the /etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf file.

Ah thanks John :)
