Description

We've changed the following files to make $HTTPD_PORT be 80 (rather than 8991), but each time we log in, $HTTPD_PORT switches back to 8991. We've each done "source aleph_start", shut aleph down, cleared the utf files, and rebooted the server. 

We're concerned that when aleph restarts each day (via the job list) that the port is going to change back. 

Changed files:

 alephe/aleph_start 
 alephe/www_server.conf 
 alephe/apache/conf/httpd.conf 
 alephe/apache/conf/ssl.conf 
 alephe/apache/bin/apachectl_auto 
 

Resolution

When you log in, the /exlibris/aleph/a23_1/alephm/.cshrc file is executed. It looks like this: 

   echo "Execute master cshrc" 

   umask 002 

   setenv LOGIN_PID $$ 

   source /exlibris/aleph/a23_1/alephe/aleph_start 
   source $alephm_dev/alephm/prof_master 
   setenv ALEPH_SHELL /bin/tcsh 
   setenv ALEPH_ADMIN ALEPH_ADMIN 
   source $aleph_proc/aleph_admin 
   setenv ALEPH_CTX CTXSYS 
   source $aleph_proc/aleph_ctx 

You will note that it has "source /exlibris/aleph/a23_1/alephe/aleph_start". That is, it is source-ing the *a-tree* aleph_start, which has "HTTPD_PORT 8991". 

Saving this .cshrc and changing the "a23_1" to "u23_1" corrected the problem:  when one logs in/out/in the HTTPD_PORT stays as 80.
