ISPConfig not writing vhost changes to disk

[baskin]

It seems that ispconfig cannot understand the new config file for some reason.

I have tried to manually change "testing" on the working config to something else that i want and apache is reloading ok.

If i try the same change through ispconfig web interface apache fails to start and ispconfig is reverting to the working copy. Apache fails to start also when i try to copy the .err file as the working vhost configuration.

Sorry for the multiple posts.

I have tried to add just a comment "# test" to the vhost file through ispconfig's web interface and it fails.

Another vhost that i have tried has no issue. So it is something specific to this vhost file and the problem has appeared after upgrading to 3.0.4.6. Before the upgrade i was editing the Apache Directives without issues.

When you do that and run

httpd -t

, what's the output?

I can't find a command "httpd". I'm on debian stable (squeeze).

try 'apache2 -t'

[baskin]

apache2 -t

returns this:

apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}

Try

./etc/apache2/envvars && apache2 -t

[baskin]

Although the file "envvars" exists i'm getting this:

#./etc/apache2/envvars && apache2 -t
bash: ./etc/apache2/envvars: No such file or directory

And you are sure that you run the command as root user and not another user or sudo?

You were right. I was trying with a sudoer (but i had execute sudo su before).

Nevertheless as root i'm getting the same result.

root@barbarossa:/etc/apache2/sites-available# ./etc/apache2/envvars && apache2 -t
bash: ./etc/apache2/envvars: No such file or directory

I can see that envvars is not executable:

root@barbarossa:/etc/apache2# ls -l envvars 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1169 Feb  5 23:34 envvars
