[LON-CAPA-users] problem starting apache with lon-capa

[Stuart Raeburn]

Hi,

> [Sun Nov 03 12:28:01 2013] [error] Can't locate HTML/LCParser.pm

That error is usually seen when SELinux is enabled.

I see that the Scientific Linux 6 distro updates for today (Nov. 3  
2013) include new versions for:

selinux-policy-targeted
selinux-policy

So, possibly you ran:

yum update

and the existing /etc/selinux/config file was overwritten, such that  
selinux is no longer disabled.

If this is the case you should be able to use the command "setup" to  
set SELinux to Disabled.  You'll then need to reboot.

Otherwise you could use a test editor to modify /etc/selinux/config so  
it contains the line:

SELINUX=disabled

(Note: this type of question is more appropriate for the  
lon-capa-admin list, which is intended for discussion about system  
administration and updating -- see:  
http://mail.lon-capa.org/mailman/listinfo/lon-capa-admin).
