default-mythbuntu changed my root website when I recently upgraded

[Kirk Bridger]

My most recent weekly build upgrade of mythweb resulted in my root website being replaced by the mythweb site. I traced the cause to the fact that a file was created (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-mythbuntu) that was redirecting via 301 HTTP messages to the mythweb site.

Problem was resolved by

a2dissite default-mythbuntu

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

This particular weekly update failed to install via apt and update-manager. The reported reason via the command line was that it was unable to find a particular file (/etc/aache2/sites-available/default). I use virtual hosting in apache and thus do not ahve a "default" site. I manually created a symlink to my main website config file and called it default. This allowed the upgrade to complete, but then the problem above occurred.

I hope future builds do not install this file, as it breaks my apache config and requires manually updating things (assuming the upgrade can occur without a default site).

In my case I also had to enable the normal default settings by:
a2ensite default

I've added a fix for this to the packaging repository for mythplugins. You will be able to update via autobuilds through the next autobuild.

This will be fixed in ubuntu lucid (the development release), once the mythplugins task is closed.
