[LON-CAPA-admin] will not initialize role

[Stefan Bisitz]

Hi,

We encounter rarely but from time to time some weired content in the select boxes for groups and sections - still not reproducible. Instead of rebooting, a simple webserver reload helped in these cases, i.e. "/etc/init.d/httpd reload", maybe also for you?!?

I have occasionally noticed this myself this term.  Sometimes, if I select a role from a previous course and then logout and login again it is fine.  Sometimes I just go away and get a cup of coffee and later it is fine.  Sometimes I just say the hell with it and reboot the server.  Of course, now that it is behind a firewall, I have to be physically present to do that.  As you can tell from this, it is an intermittent problem and solutions are not reproducible.  Has anybody seen anything like his before?
