Frequently Asked Questions
22
**************************
24
This is a list of Frequently Asked Questions for IVLE. It answers questions
25
about common issues encountered when configuring or running the system.
31
... change the Terms of Service notice?
32
---------------------------------------
34
You should customize the ToS notice at :file:`/var/lib/ivle/notices/tos.html`.
41
... Apache not restart?
42
-----------------------
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.
49
... IVLE dump me back to the login screen with no error when I try to login?
50
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
52
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
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.
61
The default is :file:`/var/lib/ivle/sessions`.
