 Operational notes
------------------
+=================
 
 The askbot website contains a ``surprisingly`` askbot based support forum,
 and a lot of operational related information is available there. Additional
 maintenance commands:
 
+* activate virtualenv: ``source /usr/askbot-env/bin/activate``
 * synchronize db schema: ``python manage.py syncdb``
 * migrate database between upgrades: ``python manage.py migrate``
 * rebuild solr index: ``python manage.py askbot_rebuild_index -l <language-code>``
 * assign administrator right to a user: ``python manage.py add_admin <user-id>``
+* update site url setting in askbot database: ``update livesettings_setting set value = '<site-url>' where "group" = 'QA_SITE_SETTINGS' and key = 'APP_URL';``
