+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>
