Build and Configure a Sandbox

...

If you haven't, create an edxapp superuser (The provided example sets 'staff' as a superuser, which is fine).:

Code Block
languagebash
linenumberstrue
sudo su -s /bin/bash edxapp
cd
/edx/bin/python.edxapp /edx/bin/manage.edxapp lms manage_user staff staff@example.com --staff --superuser --settings=awsproduction
exit # deactivate env
Now, create VEDA superuser. It could be smart to make the username and pass the same as your edxapp superuser, but you do you.

...

Check and configure VAL access

Log in to the django admin (usually ${YOUR_SANDBOX_URL}/admin). Go to Oauth2 > Clients. There should be an extant client with a suffix like 'api/val/v0'. Click through.

...

Code Block
languagebash
sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl
# then, for example
tail -f veda_encode_worker stderr # for veda_encode_worker errlog

Execute the tail command for other processes to see their logs
