<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>
</p>
