Installation of an Apache httpd server with FAI

[Torsten Schlabach]

Rudy,

when you say

 > $ROOTCMD a2enmod rewrite
 > $ROOTCMD a2enmod ssl
 > $ROOTCMD a2dissite 000-default
 > $ROOTCMD a2ensite dokeos
 > $ROOTCMD a2ensite dokeos_ssl

you mean in a script in scripts/MYCLASS/xx-apache ?

Why would I need the $ROOTCMD command there?

Regards,
Torsten
