[LON-CAPA-admin] YOU NEED TO FIX: check and correct your /etc/hosts

[Gerd Kortemeyer]

Hi,

LON-CAPA does not mess with this part of the server configuration, but
we noticed that there can be problems with /etc/hosts, depending on how
it is set up.

Please check if your /etc/hosts looks like this (of course, replace
"s10" by your machine):

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               s10.lite.msu.edu s10 localhost.localdomain
localhost

THE ABOVE WILL NOT WORK WITH LON-CAPA! Your full server name needs to be
registered under its real IP address, so /etc/hosts should read like
this:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
35.8.63.20              s10.lite.msu.edu s10

(again, of course replace the "s10" line with your IP and your server
name).

PLEASE FIX /etc/hosts and then do an Apache-restart. Otherwise, several
of the new 0.6-features like uploading PowerPoint, generating user-owned
courses, etc, do work.

Thanks!
