Title: Is there a way to reset/initialize configuration?
Post by: srinet on September 18, 2009, 09:06:57 am

Hi,

Is there a script or command to bring back the ebox server to the state when it was installed?

Is there a way, i can add an eBox module after instllation after setup?

Yes, you can add any other module either using ebox-software (Software Management in eBox interface) or installing them by hand using apt-get install (http://trac.ebox-platform.com/wiki/Document/Documentation/InstallationGuide).

I think there is no script for bringing back to the original status. But you can purge the libebox package (apt-get remove --purge libebox) and all the configuration will be lost (all eBox packages also), after that you will need to reinstall them.

@J. A. Calvo
Elsewhere in the forum I have seen reference made to the command:

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg-reconfigure eboxWhat does this do?  Does it allow the eBox configuration values to be input manually?

The dpkg-reconfigure ebox is only useful to reset the ebox web interface password and listening port.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the reply. It did help me.

I found later there is a backup facility under system/backup where you can take a backup of ebox configuration, and restore later. Hope that is a better way.
