[LON-CAPA-users] no password reset email, and FW: LON-CAPA module check -- winonal1

[Moore, Nathan T]

I have a server up and running that students are using, loncapa.winona.edu
The system is up to date via apt.

When students (or I) click the "forgot password" link on the front page, no email ever arrives.  I've checked the timeouts (2hrs) from the dc side and they seem ok.  The system sends me regular status updates via email - it just seems to be the forgot password option that's not running.

At the same time, I'm getting the module/file mismatch error below.

1. Can I swap the files from one location to another (per the locations below) and fix file location problem?
2. Will swapping the file locations below also fix the send forgot password email problem.

5 differences were found between LON-CAPA modules installed on your server (winonal1)  and those expected for the LON-CAPA version you are currently running.

The following 2 local files appear to be missing:
/etc/httpd/conf/loncapa_apache.conf (expected rev: 1.215.2.30) /etc/httpd/conf/startup.pl (expected rev: 1.41.2.4)

The following 3 files are not required by the release you have installed:
/etc/apache2/loncapa_apache.conf (local rev: 1.215.2.30) /etc/apache2/startup.pl (local rev: 1.41.2.4) /home/httpd/perl/loncontrol (local rev: 1.44.2.1)
