[LON-CAPA-admin] certbot and document root

[Moore, Nathan T]

I'm working on an loncapa install on a RHEL7.6 box, running Apache 2.4.6  

I had loncapa up and running 2 hrs ago but I've messed up the httpd configuration.

Specifically, after the loncapa install I started working with certbot for ssl.  Certbot requires a "Virtual host" to run successfully.  The certbot email list suggests I include something like:

ServerName loncapa.winona.edu:80

And 

Listen 80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/home/httpd/html"
    ServerName loncapa.winona.edu

    # Other directives here
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =loncapa.winona.edu
        RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>

With these changes, loncapa fails to load anything.  

Is "/home/httpd/html" the appropriate document root for loncapa?  

Related, because it is a cloud service it has an untypeable domain name.  Is this a problem?
[root at WSU-Lon-Capa conf]# hostname --fqdn
WSU-Lon-Capa.iel215phooculndmj5ogxpf3zg.ex.internal.cloudapp.net
But our local dns maps loncapa.winona.edu to the machine's ip address 52.162.238.218

If you prefer not to edit course files, then on the command line on your library server as user: www you could simply create a file named: group_allfolders26759251377393070.sequence in: 
/home/httpd/lonUsers/uiuc/1/i/9/1i928139c6d645b29uiuclibrary1/userfiles

containing:

<map>
<resource id="1" src="" type="start"></resource> <link from="1" to="2" index="1"></link> <resource id="2" src="" type="finish"></resource> </map>

In a web browser you would select a Course Coordinator role in the course, (or re-initialize if a role is already selected in the course) and then use the Course Editor to hide that item (or remove it).

Is there a group_allfolders.sequence file in the userfiles sub-directory? Are there groups in the course?

Subject: [LON-CAPA-admin] Removing Resource Identifier Reference

Hello Everyone,

In the process of merging two courses' content we have managed to include a reference to a group sequence that doesn't exist in the new course.  As a result the course is reporting Map not loaded: The file /home/httpd/lonUsers/uiuc/1/i/9/1i928139c6d645b29uiuclibrary1/userfiles/group_allfolders26759251377393070.sequence does not exist on course initialization.

The plan is to remove the reference to that sequence in the new course, but I wanted to double check with the list to see if there is any advice before I start editing course files.

Thanks,

Lee
