Do I need to restart my server after editing fstab and mtab?
- by jaypabs
I'm just wondering if I need to restart my server after editing fstab and mtab. I changed something in this file manually due to problem with awstats report.
I am using ISPConfig 3 with the help of the tutorial from howtoforge. But due to removing/deleting of some account, the configuration of fstab and mtab messed up.
I also ask this question at howtoforge forum but until now no one has answered. If you'd like to read my question please visit it here.
I tried very hard to fix the problem w/o luck.
Update:
Here's what happen to my fstab:
Before the value was (I omitted the other):
/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/mydomain.com /var/www/clients/client1/web1/log none bind,nobootwait 0 0
/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/example.com /var/www/clients/client1/web2/log none bind,nobootwait 0 0
So I changed it to the correct path:
/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/mydomain.com /var/www/clients/client1/web2/log none bind,nobootwait 0 0
/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/example.com /var/www/clients/client1/web3/log none bind,nobootwait 0 0
I also found mtab to have the same value as above that's why I edited it manually.
from:
/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/mydomain.com /var/www/clients/client1/web1/log none rw,bind 0 0
/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/example.com /var/www/clients/client1/web2/log none rw,bind 0 0
to:
/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/mydomain.com /var/www/clients/client1/web2/log none rw,bind 0 0
/var/log/ispconfig/httpd/example.com /var/www/clients/client1/web3/log none rw,bind 0 0
I edited those value because the correct path of mydomain.com and example.com should be under web2 and web3 folder respectively.
As of now the log of example.com is pointed to:
/var/www/clients/client1/web2/log
when it should be:
/var/www/clients/client1/web3/log
So I am thinking that this is because of fstab and mtab.
Please guide me how to point the log correctly to it's default directory.
I explain the scenario one by one at this link.
to dawud:
Based on your example mount -o remount,noexec /var, should I run mount -o remount,noexec /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/example.com?
