[LON-CAPA-admin] 7.3 install help

[Scott Harrison]

httpd.conf should have been changed.

In the UPDATE script, there is a line called:
"make postinstall"

The "make postinstall" calls another target:
"make webserverconf"

which calls webserverconf.piml which generates the
following code
(as can be seen by,
 cd loncom/build; make LAUNCH='| more' webserverconf)
