           WELCOME TO LON-CAPA!

If you have questions, please visit http://install.lon-capa.org
or contact sharrison@install.lon-capa.org.

===============================================================================
The following 3 values are needed to configure LON-CAPA:
* Machine ID Name
* LON-CAPA Domain Name, and
* System Administration E-mail Address.
END

  print(&lt;&lt;END);

**** Machine ID Name ****
[this does NOT need to correspond to internet address names;
 this name MUST be unique to the whole LON-CAPA network;
 we recommend that you use a name based off of your institution;
 good examples: "msul1" or "bionetl1";
 bad examples: "loncapabox" or "studentsinside"]
ENTER MACHINE ID NAME:
END
# get machine name
# accept if valid, if not valid, tell user and repeat

  print(&lt;&lt;END);

**** Domain ****
[this does NOT need to correspond to internet address domains,
 examples might be "msu" or "bionet" or "vermontcc"]
ENTER LONCAPA DOMAIN:
END

# get domain name
# accept if valid, if not valid, tell user and repeat

  print(&lt;&lt;END);

**** System Administrator's E-mail ****
E-mail address of the person who will manage this machine
[should be in the form somebody@somewhere]
ENTER E-MAIL ADDRESS:
END

# get e-mail address
# accept if valid, if not valid, tell user and repeat
# update loncapa.conf
}
</perlscript>
</file>
<file>
<target dist='default'>/home/httpd/lonUsers2</target>
<perlscript mode='fg'>
# read values from loncapa.conf
  print(&lt;&lt;END);

===============================================================================
This is now the current configuration of your machine.
1) Machine Name: $perlsetvar{'lonHostID'}
2) Domain Name: $perlsetvar{'lonDefDomain'}
3) System Administrator's E-mail Address: $perlsetvar{'lonAdmEmail'}
4) Role: $perlsetvar{'lonRole'}
5) Cache Expiration Time: $perlsetvar{'lonExpire'}
6) Server Load: $perlsetvar{'lonLoadLim'}
7) Everything is correct up above
ENTER A CHOICE OF 1-6 TO CHANGE, otherwise ENTER 7:
END

# implement editing logic below, interactively
# update loncapa.conf until 7 is entered

</perlscript>
</file>
<file>
<target dist='default'>loncom/hosts.tab</target>
<perlscript mode='fg'>
unless (-l "<TARGET />") {
  print(&lt;&lt;END);

===============================================================================
What hosts.tab would you like to have installed?
(hosts.tab is a listing of all other internet machines
that a server system considers to be valid server systems
on the LON-CAPA network)

1) PRODUCTION - you want to deliver courses today or sometime very soon
                on this machine
2) DEVELOPMENT - you want to play with or explore LON-CAPA
3) Do not install hosts.tab right now

ENTER 1, 2, or 3:
END
# Option number 26 will install rawhide_hosts.tab, but
# the typical user does not want to be part of an intensive
# machine test cluster.

# get input
# if valid then process, otherwise loop
