vshell.conf

[robrinker]

Am I losing my mind, or does vshell.conf not exist in: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/exch ... ell.tar.gz? Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Ron

It's not in the tarball, no. The file the documentation is referencing is one you will need to create for Apache, to tell it where the DocumentRoot for vshell is. Admittedly that's not particularly clear currently. The main V-Shell developer asked me to make a pretty installer that would include creation of such a file, so that will get cleared up eventually, but I'm afraid it's not at the top of my priority list at the moment.

Sorry about that, the vshell.conf file is now under the vshell/doc/vshell_apache.conf in the latest release. It has moved since the original documentation was written.

I have an observation. It appears that the vshell.conf file now must be copied/moved from "/usr/local/vshell" to "/etc" folder otherwise an ugly error appears when trying to use the /vshell application. The error states: Unable to open '' file!

The "error" is due to a modification done in the /usr/local/vshell/constants.inc.php file that now requires to have this file in the /etc folder
// Switch to use external configuration file by Tony Yarusso, 30 March 2011
$ini_array = parse_ini_file("/etc/vshell.conf");

Once the vshell.conf is copied to the folder /etc, the /vshell application works like a charm. Unfortunately, it is not documented since it was done very recently

Stan,

We will get this documented for the next release for sure. Thanks for the catch!
