Registration and Emails from edX

[rus...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I was wondering where i would be able to update links, and email addresses.

I register as a test student and get.

regist...@example.com

To:Test, B T.;

 Thank you for signing up for edX! To activate your account, please copy and paste this address into your web browser's address bar:

  http://localhost/activate/ecad802a132a4d30be07b14129327ada

     If you didn't request this, you don't need to do anything; you won't receive any more email from us. Please do not reply to this e-mail; if you require assistance, check the help section of the edX web site.

As my server is on AWS, i would need to change "localhost" to the IP and "regist...@example.com" to a known email address.

Any suggestions?

There're several ways to do this

If you're using a theme I recommend to modify/create the the /edx/app/edx_ansible/server-vars.yml file with the wanted variables

and give a update 

# sudo /edx/bin/update edx-platform master

example:

EDXAPP_TECH_SUPPORT_EMAIL: 'tech...@test.com'

EDXAPP_CONTACT_EMAIL: 'in...@test.com'

EDXAPP_BUGS_EMAIL: 'bu...@test.com'

EDXAPP_DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL: 'regist...@test.com'

EDXAPP_DEFAULT_FEEDBACK_EMAIL: 'feed...@test.com'

EDXAPP_DEFAULT_SERVER_EMAIL: 'dev...@test.com'

EDXAPP_BULK_EMAIL_DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL: 'no-r...@test.com'

EDXAPP_SITE_NAME: 'testuniversity'

you can see all variables availables here: http://iambusychangingtheworld.blogspot.ca/2014/05/edx-platform-server-varsyaml-variables.html

                                    

If not you can modify/create  vim /edx/app/edxapp/lms.env.json file

and restart the services:

# sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl -c /edx/etc/supervisord.conf restart edxapp:

# sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl -c /edx/etc/supervisord.conf restart edxapp_worker:

[rus...@gmail.com]

Thank you I am looking into your suggestions, how about the "activate your account..."

 http://localhost/activate

As the "localhost" will most likely be my server IP.

If I remember well

localhost will be the EDXAPP_SITE_NAME: 'your site'

Thank you for your response, I did not modify the theme, yet can I just add what you suggested below?
