 <p>$Date$; $Revision$</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>

 LON-CAPA Reconfiguration can also be handled by a GUI tool (and text-based UI)  
 developed as an offshoot from the RedHat anaconda python-Tk system.  This tool  
 should be present on your LON-CAPA system at  
 /usr/sbin/loncapaconfig.
