[SOLVED]Incorrect file location on the How to Linux walkthru

[drmike]

Greets:

 

Under the Configuring the server section of the How To Linux walkthru, it mentions the two config files to be located in the /home/<username>/server/etc/ folder.

Mine are in the /home/<username>/server/conf/ folder.

Not sure if that's a typo or an issue with my install but I wanted to point that out.

Is it ok if I edit the wiki or should I stay away from doing so until I'm more familiar with the software? I don't want to step on any toes so that's why I'm reporting these instead of making the edits myself.

Thanks

Without modify instalation path:

-- Installing: /home/test/bin/testtrinity335a/etc/authserver.conf.dist

-- Installing: /home/test/bin/testtrinity335a/bin/worldserver

Hmmm strange:

drmike@vps5:~$ cd server
drmike@vps5:~/server$ ls -la
total 20
drwxrwxr-x 5 drmike drmike 4096 Jul 18 08:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 drmike drmike 4096 Jul 18 23:06 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 drmike drmike 4096 Jul 18 22:56 bin
drwxrwxr-x 2 drmike drmike 4096 Jul 18 22:52 conf
drwxrwxr-x 5 drmike drmike 4096 Jul 18 09:08 data

No etc directory and both of the *.dist files are in the conf directory. Using Ubuntu for an OS.

If that's how it is for you, it's not a biggie for me. Just not seeing that.

Not really sure why that happens but the wiki could be edited to list both /etc and /conf

I realized on my walk come last night that the wiki uses the example of /conf :

http://collab.kpsn.org/display/tc/Linux

cmake ../ -DPREFIX=/home/wow/server -DCONF_DIR=/home/wow/server/conf -DLIBSDIR=/home/wow/server/lib -DTOOLS=1 -DWITH_WARNINGS=1

even though a page down from there, it's back to using /etc :

and the standard configuration files in the /home/<username>/server/etc folder.

Changed the example cmake command to use /etc instead of /conf.
