[SOLVED] Add file to /etc/httpd/conf.d with elastic beanstalk

Issue

I created a .ebextensions directory in the root of my project and added a conf file to add a file to /etc/httpd/conf.d but I don't see the results when I ssh to my instance. I've made two attempts:

(1) First Attempt

Following this AWS forum post, I created .ebextensions/update.conf with this content:

files:
  "/etc/httpd/conf.d/update.conf":
    mode: "000644"
    owner: root
    group: root
    encoding: plain
    content: |
      TraceEnable off

I ran the above through a YAML linter to make sure the format is correct.

(2) Second Attempt

Following the AWS docs, I created .ebextensions/httpd/conf.d/update.conf with this content:

TraceEnable off

In both cases, the file update.conf does not appear in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory as desired.

To make sure that my configuration was properly uploaded, I downloaded the source zip file to make sure that my .ebextensions folder was included.

Any suggestions for what I might be doing wrong?

Solution

Your config file is named .ebextensions/update.conf. But, according to Advanced Environment Customization with Configuration Files (.ebextensions), the file extension should be .config:

Configuration files are YAML- or JSON-formatted documents with a .config file extension that you place in a folder named .ebextensions and deploy in your application source bundle.

Try renaming your config file to .ebextensions/update.config.
