 <H3>Current Reconfiguration Procedure</H3>  
 <P>  
 Currently, reconfiguration must be handled manually and involves an administrator  
 altering configuration files present throughout the system.  For a list of these  
 files and their descriptions, visit <A HREF="http://www.lon-capa.org/install/3.1/loncapafiles.html">  
 http://www.lon-capa.org/install/3.1/loncapafiles.html</A>.  
 </P>  
 <H3>Future Reconfiguration Procedure (not yet implemented)</H3>  
 <P>  
 In the future, LON-CAPA Reconfiguration will be handled by a GUI tool (and text-based UI)  
 developed as an offshoot from the RedHat anaconda python-Tk system.  This tool is  
 already working in many respects, but awaits completion.

   <p>
   There are about a dozen files on the LON-CAPA server systems
   which customize how each system interacts with the rest of the
   LON-CAPA network.
   </p>
   <p>
   The two most important configuration files are:
   <ul>
   <li><strong>loncapa.conf</strong> -
   typically located in the directory <tt>/etc/httpd/conf/</tt>
   <br /><i>contains variables and modifications necessary for
   the effective running of the Apache web server</i>
   <br />&nbsp;
   </li>
   <li><strong>hosts.tab</strong> -
   typically located in the directory <tt>/home/httpd/lonTabs/</tt>
   <br /><i>is a listing of all other internet machines that a server
   system considers to be valid server systems on the LON-CAPA
   network</i>
   <br />&nbsp;
   </li>
   </ul>

   <h3>Configuration files and examples</h3>
   LON-CAPA currently depends on the following list of configuration
   files.  Locations of these files are by default.  Depending on your
   Linux distribution (RedHat, Mandrake, Debian, etc.), the file paths
   may be elsewhere.
   <ul>
   <li><a href='confexamples/krb.conf'>[EXAMPLE]</a> /etc/krb.conf</li>
