Forum Getting Started: Help with installation

Hi all,

Please forgive me if there is an answer to this question elsewhere, but I have looked all around the boards and site and cannot locate it.

I have recently downloaded a copy of LAMS to assess whether it can help me roll out online learning for the non-profit organisation for whom I work. I'm a learning manager with some IT experience, but certaibly not an IT expert. Thus, I am having trouble with SQL. I don't understand exactly what I'm supposed to do with SQL, other than that it needs to be running in order to run LAMS.

I've downloaded LAMS onto a laptop to test it, so I don't know whether this causes any problems also.

But, long story short, can someone please point me to some simple instruction detailing what I need to do with SQL to get the laptop to the point where LAMS will run? At the moment, when I run LAMS, I simply receive a message stating that SQL needs to be running. At that point, LAMS terminates.

Again, apologies if these instructions actually reside somewhere simple and I have overlooked them.

Kind regards,

Glenn Hansen
