Move /etc/graylog2.conf to /etc/graylog2/server/server.conf #6

Closed bernd closed 9 years ago

The current packages install the graylog2.conf to /etc/graylog2.conf. This because of historical reasons and because it is documented everywhere.

Let the packages install the config to /etc/graylog2/server/server.conf and create a symlink to that in /etc/graylog2.conf for backwards compat. This needs a carefully crafted post-install script which moves existing configs to the new location and creates the symlink on updates.

This might be problematic if the config file references external files (e. g. elasticsearch_config_file or rules_file) with a relative path. At least we have to consider these cases.

I think this should get updated to be added in /etc/graylog2/server/server.conf so the context of all packages is the same.

This will not be done for 0.9x versions. The upcoming 1.0 packages have the config files moved.
