14: There are about a dozen files on the LON-CAPA server systems
1.11 ! harris41 15: which the system administrator may need to adjust.
1.6 harris41 16: </p>
17: <p>
18: The two most important configuration files are:
1.9 harris41 19: </p>
1.6 harris41 20: <ul>
21: <li><strong>loncapa.conf</strong> -
1.11 ! harris41 22: typically located in the directory <tt>/etc/httpd/conf/</tt>;
! 23: <br /><i>contains machine-specific and institution-specific
! 24: variables and modifications necessary for
! 25: the effective running of the Apache web server;
! 26: note that there is also a <strong>loncapa_apache.conf</strong>
! 27: which should be installed, but not modified</i>
1.6 harris41 28: <br />
29: </li>
30: <li><strong>hosts.tab</strong> -
1.11 ! harris41 31: typically located in the directory <tt>/home/httpd/lonTabs/</tt>;
1.6 harris41 32: <br /><i>is a listing of all other internet machines that a server

1.11 ! harris41 40: <h3>Current Reconfiguration Procedure</h3>
! 41: <p>
! 42: After making any configuration change, you will need to restart system
! 43: services. The two most important system services on a LON-CAPA system are
! 44: <strong>loncapa</strong> and <strong>httpd</strong>. Here are the
! 45: commands for restarting the system services:
! 46: </p>
! 47: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1"><tr><td>
! 48: <tt>/etc/rc.d/init.d/loncapa restart</tt>
! 49: <br /><tt>/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart</tt>
! 50: </td></tr></table>
! 51: <p>
! 52: We recommend that a knowledgeable system administrator should
! 53: perform any adjustments on a LON-CAPA server machine.
! 54: Locations of these files are by default. Depending on your
! 55: Linux distribution--RedHat, Mandrake, Debian, etc, the file paths
! 56: may be elsewhere.
! 57: </p>
! 58: <h3>Configuration files that will have to be altered</h3>
1.9 harris41 59: <p>
1.3 harris41 60: LON-CAPA currently depends on the following list of configuration
1.11 ! harris41 61: files. Note that <tt>loncapa.conf</tt> is automatically
! 62: altered by the installation/upgrade scripts associated with
! 63: the tarball-distribution (see the <b>INSTALL</b> and <b>UPGRADE</b>
! 64: sections of this web-site). (Thus, the system administrator should
! 65: not have to further adjust <tt>loncapa.conf</tt> from the terminal.)

1.11 ! harris41 82: <h3>Configuration files that do not have to be altered</h3>
! 83: <p>
! 84: The following configuration files are critical for the correct
! 85: performance of a LON-CAPA server machine. Typically, these configuration
! 86: files do not need to be adjusted by the system administrator.
! 87: </p>
! 88: <ul>

! 95: <h3>Configuring Secondary Services</h3>
! 96: <p>
! 97: LON-CAPA does not provide integrated support for secondary services.
! 98: The expectation is that knowledgeable system administrators will
! 99: customize these secondary services for their institution.
! 100: </p>
1.3 harris41 101: <p>
1.11 ! harris41 102: We do, however, provide example configurations of services that you
! 103: may want to deliver with LON-CAPA (i.e. Samba and AppleChooser).
