 Hi Avi,
 
 Just looking at the install.cgi in Raqbaq3.tar it looks as though
 httpd.conf is overwritten with a new version of the file. Presumably if
 you have custom additions to httpd.conf these will be lost?
 
 Also it seems to add a new RewriteRule to each virtual host. Presumably
 this doesn't interfere with the operation of the normal Raq GUI?
 
 Also, the uninstall.cgi just seems to remove the /etc/raqbaq and
 /usr/raqbaq directories. It doesn't do anything with httpd.conf. So after
 uninstalling you would be stuck with the modified version of httpd.conf?
 
 Just want to know what I'm getting into before I try installing it....
 
 Thanks,

Hey! Great questions. Let me clarify:
A new httpd.conf is placed on your server, but it DOES NOT OVERRIDE your 
current one. The install script makes a directory called /etc/raqbaq/conf/
and it places httpd.conf. THEN it makes /usr/raqbaq and places the HTML and 
CGI files in there.

We did not do that? The ONLY thing that this software edits in 
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is that it adds:
/raqbaq to forward to http://yourodmain.com:82/ which is exactly the same 
line that cobatl uses.
We do not do anything to virtual hosts.

When the uninstall.cgi removes /etc/raqbaq, it uses rm -r which will delete 
the folder and all its contents, there fore /etc/raqbaq/conf/httpd.conf is 
also deleted. After uninstalling, you will NOT be stuck with a modified 
httpd.conf, your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf will always remain the same and 
you will not loose any settings :-)
Avi.
