Enabling CCX

Starting with a fresh install of devstack,

  1. Create a private.py for cms (edx-platform/cms/envs/private.py) with the following lines:

    from .devstack import * # pylint: disable=wildcard-import, unused-wildcard-import

FEATURES['CUSTOM_COURSES_EDX'] = True

  2. Create a private.py for lms (edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py) with the following lines:

    from .devstack import * # pylint: disable=wildcard-import, unused-wildcard-import

FEATURES['CUSTOM_COURSES_EDX'] = True

##### Custom Courses for EdX #####
if FEATURES.get('CUSTOM_COURSES_EDX'):
        INSTALLED_APPS += ('ccx',)
        FIELD_OVERRIDE_PROVIDERS += (
            'ccx.overrides.CustomCoursesForEdxOverrideProvider',
        )

  3. As the edxapp user in vagrant, run paver update_db

    The output put should include something like the following:

    Running migrations for ccx:
 - Migrating forwards to 0002_convert_memberships.
 > ccx:0001_initial
 > ccx:0002_convert_memberships
 - Migration 'ccx:0002_convert_memberships' is marked for no-dry-run.
 - Loading initial data for ccx.

  4. Start the servers with paver run_all_servers

  5. Continue with the user instructions at http://edx.readthedocs.org/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/latest/building_course/custom_courses.html
