/etc/openhab/configurations is where openhab_default.cfg is installed when openHAB is installed using the recommended apt-get method of installation. Once that file is in place, you would copy it to openhab.cfg and make changes to that copy. The runtime does not use the file openhab_default.cfg.
On my windows system I made changes to the openhab_default.cfg file and they seem to impact the runtime. Is this a different behavior on windows (version 1.7.1)?
Anyway, can I just copy the openhab_defaults.cfg file from windows to the raspberry pi?
@watou, this is the second time I’ve seen on this forum that a brand new install of OH via apt-get seems to be missing files.
@dmintz, can you check to see if you have /etc/openhab/ logback.xml and /etc/default/openhab ?
There might be a problem on Raspberry Pi with the apt-get install if those files are also missing. I was helping someone on this thread deal with a similar issue. I thought his problem was because he may have had stuff hanging around from a previous install. But if other people are seeing missing files on a clean install of openHAB from apt-get we clearly have a problem.
