Hi,
I did a 'yum update' and now I'm trying to follow upgrading tutorial for version 0.9.2.
I noticed that instead of merging conf files, yum just created new conf files.
How should I know how to merge these two files to have both new settings/changes from new package versions and also keep iredmail custom settings?
For exemple, let's take a look at Nginx conf files.
nginx.conf
user apache;
worker_processes 1;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;events {
worker_connections 1024;
}ht tp {
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;# Hide Nginx version number
server_tokens off;gzip on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
sendfile on;client_max_body_size 12m;
types_hash_max_size 2048;include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
nginx.conf.rmpnew
# For more information on configuration, see:
# * Official English Documentation: nginx.org/en/docs/
# * Official Russian Documentation: nginx.org/ru/docs/user nginx;
worker_processes auto;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /run/nginx.pid;events {
worker_connections 1024;
}ht tp {
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$ht tp_referer" '
'"$ht tp_user_agent" "$ht tp_x_forwarded_for"';access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
types_hash_max_size 2048;include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;# Load modular configuration files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory.
# See nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#include
# for more information.
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name _;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;# Load configuration files for the default server block.
include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;location / {
}error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /40x.html {
}error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
}
}
}
The two are very different. It is even worse with /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf and /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf.rpmnew.
How can I know what to do with all these differences?
Do I need to merge the two files? And if so, how?
Or can I only keep one and disregard altogether the differences in the other? And if so, which one do I keep (and consequently, in which one do I apply the changes the tutorial ask for) ?
Thank you
BTW, I had to split every occurrence of 'http' in my post because it said I tried to include to many links. It took me long to think that maybe it tried to parse everything that began with ht tp to make it a link even if I did not use the url bbcode tag. I think you should tweak the forum configs because it will happen to many people and very often.
