[LON-CAPA-dev] Single Apache Server

[Scott Harrison]

Dear Guy:

I added your tip to help.lon-capa.org.  I created a new
category called "Software Developer Tips".

Should we add the <IfDefine PERLDEBUG></IfDefine> statement
to the beginning of loncapa_apache.conf?  Sounds very
useful, though I have not yet tried it out.
x
Regards,
Scott
