update\_ood\_portal refuses to install new configuration if the existing /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.d/ood-portal.conf MATCHES /etc/ood/config/ood\_portal.sha256sum. I think this is a bug caused by a syntax error in update\_ood\_portal that is masked by a redirect of stderr to /dev/null. Suggested fix  
`59c59`  
`< if [sha256sum --quiet --status --check $SUM 1>/dev/null 2>&1] || [! -f "$APACHE"]; then`  
`---`  
`> if sha256sum --quiet --status --check $SUM 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || [! -f "$APACHE"]; then`  
(square brackets and commands with arguments don’t play nice)  
workaround is to use “update\_ood\_portal -f”

Thanks Ric, you’re right. I get `[: too many arguments`. I’m submitting the patch now.

@azric we just released a new patch 1.6.20. Would you try `yum update ondemand` to see if this addresses your problem?
