[LON-CAPA-admin] domain coordinator cannot log in on new system

[Neubauer, Paul]

Hi Gerd,

cd /home/httpd/lonTabs
[root at lon-capa-test lonTabs]# grep bsu domain.tab
bsu:Ball State University:::::::bsul1
[root at lon-capa-test lonTabs]# grep bsu hosts.tab
^lon-capa-test.bsu.edu:http
bsul1:bsu:library:lon-capa-test.bsu.edu:http:bsu.edu

Although this is a standalone machine, I named it bsul1 (this time). bsul1 is also used for lon-capa.bsu.edu

Just for the sake of information, once I get this working, I am going to change it to https. I was also working with Stuart to implement shibboleth authentication and had it working, but munged the system after that, so I have wiped it completely, reinstalled the OS and lon-capa. Unfortunately, this time, I am failing to get the most basic functions. :-(

Thanks,
Paul
