Open gopalthakur71 opened 11 months ago

gopalthakur71 commented 11 months ago

def update_server_config(file_path, key, value):

Read the existing content of the server configuration file

with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
    lines = file.readlines()

# Update the configuration value for the specified key
with open(file_path, 'w') as file:
    for line in lines:
        # Check if the line starts with the specified key
        if key in line:
            # Update the line with the new value
            file.write(key + "=" + value + "\n")
            print("File update successfully")
        else:
            # Keep the existing line as it is
            file.write(line)
            print("No change done")

Path to the server configuration file

server_config_file = 'server.conf'

Key and new value for updating the server configuration

key_to_update = 'PORT' new_value = '9000' # New maximum connections allowed

Update the server configuration file

update_server_config(server_config_file, key_to_update, new_value)

This program is running but it is not updating to new value.

Did you try to debug if the file is read ? try to use some print statements.
