I'm new to Bitnami and Open edX and I'm having trouble changing the logo. I'm new at this and was experimenting with adopting the red-theme that comes with it and changing preexisting values for styling (which I did successfully). However, I am unable to change the logo without the site crashing and giving a 500 error after about a minute or so.
This happened when I replaced ~/apps/edx/var/staticfiles/red-theme/images/logo.3364725269f9.png with my own, with the same filename. It's odd, because it works for about a minute or two and looks perfect. But, when I refresh about 3 minutes later, the site doesn't load. I also tried replacing the logos in ~/apps/edx/var/staticfiles/images as well as ~/apps/edx/edx-platform/themes/red-theme/lms/static/images, but nothing has worked.
Lastly, I've tried following the directions here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32900783/open-edx-update-logo
https://community.bitnami.com/t/trying-to-add-organization-logo/41865
https://community.bitnami.com/t/changing-the-open-edx-organization-logo/50790
but to no avail. Each time I change it, I have been recompiling the assets, just to make sure.
Also, this is my first stackoverflow post ever, so please let me know ways I could improve my questions; I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
Bitnami developer here,
If you access your /opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/error_log file you should see an error like:
The name 'red-theme/images/logo.png' could not be hashed with ...
I was able to make it work by substituting both /opt/bitnami/apps/edx/var/staticfiles/red-theme/images/logo.3364725269f9.png and /opt/bitnami/apps/edx/var/staticfiles/red-theme/images/logo.png, and then update LMS assets by running:
sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/edx/bin/edxapp-update-assets-lms
I hope it helps
