Hi Aakash,

If you have database access then you can enable the help link by inserting a record in Settings table

name = "show_feedback_link"

value = "true"

created_at= <current date>

updated_at = <current date>

after inserting the record just restart the redis server.

Regards,

Sushant

I inserted the row and did the following:

sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server restart

sudo /etc/init.d/canvas_init restart

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And Link still won't show. please Help!

The menu appears for a while (about 24 hours) and then disappears again. What could be the problem? Does it mean that I have to keep restarting the server every day?
