Forum LAMS Lounge Forum: sysadmin login problem

By: Ernie Ghiglione

Hi Sener,

In the lams.properties file there's a section where you specify the sysadmin username and password for LAMS:

# Username and password for the system admin for LAMS
LAMS_USER=sysadmin
LAMS_PASS=sysadmin

(By default it's sysadmin as username and same for the password)

The lams.properties is in your /etc/lams/ directory. Check there to see what are the LAMS_USER and LAMS_PASS in the lams.properties.

Thanks,

Ernie

my /etc/lams2/lams.properties file is:

...
# here during run time
LAMS_DIR=/var/opt/lams

# Username and password for the system admin for LAMS
LAMS_USER=sysadmin
LAMS_PASS=sysadmin

# Default language locale and text direction for LAMS, see section 3 of the readme
LOCALE=en_AU
LOCALE_DIRECTION=LTR


# Database name, username and password for your LAMS database
DB_NAME=lams2
DB_USER=lamsuser
DB_PASS=lamsdemo
....

Hi,

You can try setting the password for sysadmin in the database:

At the command line, bring up your mysql client
shell> mysql lams2 -u lamsuser -plamsdemo

Then at the mysql prompt, execute this line of SQL:
mysql> update lams_user set password=sha1('newpassword') where login='sysadmin';

Then try to login using the login 'sysadmin' and your new password.

If that doesn't work, probably something else is wrong - would be helpful to look at the log files under /path/to/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/log/.

Thanks,

I tried to update the password as you said. But it was impossible. So I'm sending the log file content.

This is my log file :

Can we find the error from the codes here.

Thanks in advance.

This file doesn't say much other than that the login didn't work. If there's a problem, the lams.log and server.log files may have more information. They're in the same directory.

What was the problem with updating the password? If the problem is that the password was changed and you've forgotten it, you'll need to reset it, unless you have another user with the sysadmin role.

Could you please get the lams.log and server.log and zip them up and then attach them? That is, the full logs not just the part with the error.

The error in your logs.txt is being generated by the JBoss software, rather than LAMS itself, so I am hoping that something else further up in the logs will tell us what is configured wrong.

Thanks for the logs - I still can't work out what has gone wrong.

Could you try zipping up ALL the log files in <jboss>/server/default/log and send them to us? What I really need is the messages from when the server starts up, and they must be in an older log file.
