Configuration files and examples

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.

[EXAMPLE] /etc/krb.conf
[EXAMPLE] /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf
[EXAMPLE] /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab
[EXAMPLE] /home/httpd/lonTabs/spare.tab
[EXAMPLE] /home/httpd/lonTabs/htpasswd
[EXAMPLE] /etc/smb.conf
[EXAMPLE] /etc/ntp.conf
[EXAMPLE] /home/httpd/html/res/adm/includes/un_keyword.tab
[EXAMPLE] /home/httpd/html/res/adm/includes/copyright.tab
[EXAMPLE] /home/httpd/lonTabs/language.tab
[EXAMPLE] /etc/ntp/step-tickers
[EXAMPLE] /etc/pam.d/pwauth
[EXAMPLE] /etc/atalk/config

Current Reconfiguration Procedure

Currently, we recommend you handle reconfiguration manually. An administrator should alter configuration files present throughout the system.

Alternative Reconfiguration Procedure (alpha software)

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.
