This file looks correct. What is the output of

  sudo service schooltool status

All four processes should be RUNNING.

And see if there are any errors in /var/log/schooltool/paste.log

Right, schooltool process fails to start. But need the log to see why.

You tried to execute the log file. Use 'less' command.

  $ sudo less /var/log/schooltool/paste.log

and

  $ sudo less /var/log/schooltool/error.log

Press 'End' to scroll to the end. See if there are any errors.

Press 'q' to exit.

Strange. What you pasted at first is correct, but it seems there is something at the end of the paste.ini file.

Try removing schooltool and configuration files, and then reinstall.

  $ sudo apt-get purge schooltool
  $ sudo apt-get install schooltool

 Hi, looks like this is the problem? Then it doesnt reload properly?

There are some other files in that directory, therefore the directory could not be removed. You can remove it by hand

  $ sudo rm -r /etc/schooltool/standard

or, I think, the configuration files should be removed anyway, so reinstall should have helped.

For the record, apt-get purge does remove your data files, not only configuration.

To restore a single file to default,

  $ sudo rm /etc/schooltool/standard/paste.ini
  $ sudo apt-get -o DPkg::options::=--force-confmiss --reinstall install schooltool

This will not touch other config files (unless they are missing, too) and leave data intact.
