0.32: Installation Script messes on Debian

[Adrian Zaugg]

The installation script of Fog 0.32 messes with several things on Debian:

• It doesn’t use a2enmod to enable php5 module in Apache, instead it copies php5.load and php5.conf in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled which is wrong. It should leave the files in /etc/apache2/mods-available and call a2enmod.

• It messes in rcX.d. Do not change existing startup links in here please, this is not the job of the installer. To fix startup issues you should use lsb tags in your init scripts.

• It leaves several .fogbackup files behind, even if the originating folder oder file wasn’t changed by the installer.

• The init scripts FOGScheduler, FOGMulticastManager and FOGImageReplicator do not provide a header for dependency based booting. Please add such header, for example:

/etc/init.d/FOGImageReplicator:
#!/bin/sh

BEGIN INIT INFO

Provides: FOGImageReplicator

Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog $network $inetd

Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog $network $inetd

Default-Start: 3 4 5

Default-Stop: 0 1 6

X-Interactive: true

Short-Description: Start/stop FOGImageReplicator

END INIT INFO

…

and for /etc/init.d/FOGScheduler:
#!/bin/sh

BEGIN INIT INFO

Provides: FOGScheduler

Required-Start: FOGImageReplicator

Required-Stop: FOGImageReplicator

Default-Start: 3 4 5

Default-Stop: 0 1 6

X-Interactive: true

Short-Description: Start/stop FOGScheduler

END INIT INFO

…

I hope you can consider this for the next version. Thank you!

Best regards, Adrian.

While a long time coming, I’ve added these suggestions to all three of the init.d files.
