Jim,

The LON-CAPA port on the LON-CAPA library server at fsu is currently blocked to inbound requests from other nodes in the LON-CAPA network (including msu and educog), which means that browsing of /res/fsu is unavailable.

In addition, if fsu content in use in a course has not previously been replicated to a server hosting a user's session, subscription to the resource (and replication) will fail, and the user will not be able to access the content.

This may be an instance of an institution making a change to firewall settings for their network border, which results in blocking inbound requests to the standard LON-CAPA port. If that is the case IT Services at Florida State would need to agree to grant an exception to allow access to the standard LON-CAPA port from other LON-CAPA nodes.

The other possibility is that iptables was restarted on the server, and neither /home/httpd/perl/loncron has been run (as user www) nor loncontrol has been restarted. In that case iptables settings on the server's OS would be the reason why access to the standard LON-CAPA port is being blocked from remote LON-CAPA nodes.

However, this second possibility seems less likely, as it would also have blocked communication between LON-CAPA access servers at fsu and the library server, which would have immediately impacted LON-CAPA users at Florida State.

Quoting "Mueller, James A." <muel...@pitt.edu>:

I can’t browse to any resources under /res/fsu. H.K says their servers are up, but I can’t get there. Some of my students are also complaining that they can’t access a couple of problems (due Wednesday). Any ideas?

-Jim
