EasyTravel Apache httpd.conf dtagent.dll path entry gets overwritten
I wanted to set up the Apache Web Server portion of easyTravel. As Rob Vollum in an earlier EasyTravel forum topic suggested I would need to change the default dtagent.dll path within httpd.conf to point to my installations path. httpd.conf is located at C:\Users\YourUserID\.dynaTrace\easyTravel 2.0.0\easyTravel\config\httpd.conf\
However, upon every start-up of easyTravel UI/UEM/Standard the httpd.conf gets over written. It does not matter where I put the LoadModule dtagent_module <path>/dtagent.dll entry in httpd.conf it gets removed everytime I start-up easyTravel UI/UEM/Standard.
To note, the default entry itself was never there to begin with. I've also observed that the httpd.conf gets a new timestamp on each startup whether the entry is there or not. When I do put an entry there it dissappears after startup.
When I tried to write protect the file the apache web server icon on easyTravel UI remains gray. So it does look like the Apache server requires the httpd.conf to have write access. Could someone tell me how the LoadModule dtagent_module <path>/dtagent.dll entry (default or otherwise) can be placed in this file and/or why it is getting overwritten? My understanding from Rob as well as from actually going through the DT client steps (to add an Apache Tier) says the entry needs to go in the httpd.conf. Thanks! David
Hi, in <easyTravelInstallDir>/dynaTrace\easyTravel\resources\ you'll find the easyTravelConfig.properties which contains a setting config.apacheWebServerAgent - that's where you'd have to put the path to your dtagent.dll (you'll have to escape backslashes with an extra backslash - C:\\Program Files\\dynaTrace\\...\\agent\\lib\\dtagent.dll)
Thanks very much Wolfgang! and I see that it is the values in that field that create or regenerate the httpd.conf. Thanks again!
David
