3.3 Restoring Configuration Settings

Each time you change a configuration setting in Apache Manager, the previous version of the httpd.conf file is saved as a backup copy (up to 999 copies). The Restore Configuration page in Apache Manager lists each change you have made.

Restore Configuration page

If you change a configuration setting and the results are not what you expect, you can easily return to the previous httpd.conf file by clicking Restore in the change list on the Restore Configuration page.

When Apache Manager is running in eDirectory mode, it depends on a separate daemon to communicate with eDirectory. There could be a slight delay after you click Save and Apply. If, after a few minutes, Apache Manager does not indicate that the restore has taken place, make sure that the daemon is running by entering ap2webman at the NetWare system console, as described in Switching between File Mode and eDirectory Mode.
