 Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2016 12:59 pm Post subject: web-app config |
 |
|
On my server i have cgit, bugzilla and docuwiki running. The most anoying thing are the updates of the web apps via webapp-config. If portage updates them, the installation of the web apps (vhosts) are totally broken. Nothing is working. I got several installations of docuwiki. I would like to update them one by one. To prevent any damage to my running sites, i masked any new versions of the web apps. This is of course a security risk! Is there any guide how to handle the webapp-config tool? In fact, i start to hate it.....
I know of this wiki site, but it could not help me.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Webapp-config
As an example:
| Code: | mouri ~ # webapp-config --list-installs
/var/vhosts/munin.schorsch-tech.de/htdocs/bugs
/var/vhosts/git.schorsch-tech.de/htdocs
/var/vhosts/portage.schorsch-tech.de/htdocs
/var/vhosts/www.schorsch-tech.de/htdocs/.
/var/vhosts/docu.schorsch-tech.de/htdocs/.
/var/vhosts/wm.schorsch-tech.de/htdocs/.
mouri ~ # webapp-config --show-installed
* Fatal error: No .webapp file in /var/vhosts/schorsch-tech.de/htdocs; unable to continue
* Fatal error(s) - aborting |
It seems it doesnt even know what is installed. Is it only me who has problems with that tool? 
Edit: as an example: I updated cgit from 0.10 to 0.12. THe wiki tells me
| Quote: | To update a previously installed webapp:
root #webapp-config -U owncloud |
So i run
| Code: | webapp-config -U cgit
usage: webapp-config [-ICU] [-dghus] <APPLICATION VERSION>
webapp-config: error: argument -U/--upgrade: expected 2 arguments |
cgit is installed at
/var/vhosts/portage.schorsch-tech.de/htdocs
| Code: | webapp-config -U cgit 0.12
* Install dir flag not supplied, defaulting to "cgit".
* Fatal error: Cannot clean!
* Fatal error: No package installed in /var/vhosts/schorsch-tech.de/htdocs/cgit
* Fatal error(s) - aborting

You have to specify the directory under the htdocs dir with -d parameter (e.g. "-d /" means install to vhost_dir/htdocs/). And possibly you have to specify your host to (-h parameter). My webapps are installed in /var/www/subdomain.domain.tld/htdocs, which works with following upgrade command:
| Code: |
webapp-config -U owncloud 8.2.0 -h subdomain.domain.tld -d /
|
And yes, webapp-config is not intuitive. I don't like this tool neither. But currently it works for me.

| What I usually do with these is emerge them to get the source tarballs and deps, then ignore webapp-config and set them up by hand. It doesn't auto-update existing apps installed via it anyway, afaik, so there's no real downside to not using it. |
