restoring exim.conf

[abubin]

I wanted to try something actually ASSP which need me to make changes to exim configuration using WHM interface. Before that, I did backup exim.conf file. After testing, I wanted to revert back to the exim.conf which I already backup earlier. How do I do that?

I can't just copy exim.conf.bak to exim.conf because I believe cpanel have a cronjob that will update exim from the WHM configuration screen back into exim.conf.

So, is this the command I should use to restart exim.conf.bak back into all exim configs?

/scripts/buildeximconf

yes

/scripts/buildeximconf

will rebuild the exim.conf for you

To properly restore it back to the default settings you should run:

/scripts/reseteximtodefaults

but I do not want to reset exim back to default. I want to sync back exim.conf into my exim config.

For eg, copy back my previous exim.conf file which is "cp exim.conf.bak exim.conf" and then run "/scripts/buildeximconf" or do I run "/scripts/reseteximtodefaults"?

Thanks in advance.

You cannot do that. You'd have had to have a copy of /etc/exim.conf.local to do that.

ah..dang. Didn't backup that file.

Is there a proper guide to backing up exim settings and then steps to restoring it?
