Suggestion to update options.conf with versions installed

[Richard G]

I would like to suggest to update the options.conf with versions that will be installed.

For example. Last year, the setup script of DA automatically installed mysql 5.0.
In options.conf which is delivered by the install script, one would see this:

#Possible values - 5.0, 5.1, 5.5
mysql=5.0
mysql_inst=no

At the moment, the installation script will install mysql 5.1.
Suggestion is when versions which will be installed by the installation script change, to adjust options.conf so this would become:

#Possible values - 5.0, 5.1, 5.5
mysql=5.1
mysql_inst=no

Same goes for php and apache (if possible) etc..

Seems to me it could come in handy for beginning DA admins and also takes care that when the by exident thing the install should be set to yes, they don't install an older version then present.

Just an idea/suggestion, wouldn't be that much work I believe.

Keep in mind that you can also create your own installation script as i did with your custom options.conf file to use during install.

Take a look here: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39953&highlight=mkdir

Thanks for the link but the suggestion is not for a script so we don't have to press keys.

It's just a suggestion to keep the selected versions in options.conf synchronised with the installed versions which are done by the installation script.

Yep i know but was useful if you wanna have a standard options.conf before install da so each install you can be sure (totally sure) that install exact the same branch (ex. apache 2.2 mysql 5.1 php 5.2-x etc) as you sayd here http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=212617&postcount=9 if i didnt bad understood
