This is a list of Frequently Asked Questions for IVLE. It answers questions |
|
25 |
about common issues encountered when configuring or running the system. |

28 |
How can I...
|
|
29 |
============
|
|
30 |
||
31 |
... change the Terms of Service notice?
|
|
32 |
---------------------------------------
|
|
33 |
||
34 |
You should customize the ToS notice at :file:`/var/lib/ivle/notices/tos.html`. |
|
35 |
||
36 |
||
37 |
.. _ref-faq-why: |
|
38 |
Why does...
|
|
39 |
===========
|
|
40 |
||
41 |
... Apache not restart?
|
|
42 |
-----------------------
|
|
43 |
||
44 |
Make sure no console processes are lying around (e.g. sudo killall |
|
45 |
python), then restart with ``sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart``. If the issue
|
|
46 |
persists, try stopping the server and starting it in two separate |
|
47 |
steps, so you see the errors reported by the start script. |
|
48 |
||
49 |
... IVLE dump me back to the login screen with no error when I try to login?
|
|

This is usually because IVLE can't save your session information. IVLE saves |
|
53 |
sessions to a sessions directory on disk. Unfortunately, this is not currently |
|
54 |
configurable in :file:`./setup.py` config. You need to edit the Apache config |
|
55 |
file. |
|
56 |
||
57 |
Look for ``PythonOption mod_python.file_session.database_directory``. Make
|
|
58 |
sure it is set to the place you want. Then, you need to manually make sure |
|
59 |
that directory exists. |
|
60 |
||
61 |
The default is :file:`/var/lib/ivle/sessions`. |
