Forum Problems Installing LAMS: LAMS and MOODLE INTEGRATION ---MYSQL ACCESS DENIED

Have you checked the MySQL root password against what is specified in config.inc.php? Since LAMS worked properly, you should be able to see what you entered into the LAMS installer for the root password in the file C:\lams\lams-config.bat.

If you need to reset your root password, use this link: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/resetting-permissions.html

In any case, it doesn't seem like a LAMS issue, the LAMS installer will use the MySQL root user to create a user for itself, and from then on use that user to create its tables. If you're still having trouble, try a moodle forum for this issue, you may get better support for this.

THanks Jun,

I installed LAMS using the detailed option.

After the install when I log in as administrator. I get only one option User and the second button is missing.

Any trouble shooting or should i go in for a reinstall.

PS when I use the Basic config install both the buttons are available for use.

Thanks and sorry for the bother again.

Garry

I'm trying to understand what you mean, but correct me please if i'm wrong.

Do both moodle and lams working ? (i'm assuming yes to all questions)

Are you talking about logging into lams (as "admin") and going to the administration menu, where it displays just the "user admin" button?

If so, i think that you need to log in as "lamsadmin" rather than "admin" to display the system administration button, where you then create the organisation which you will be using with moodle.

Hope this helps.

Matt Saunders has the right of it, but just to clarify how this may have happened...

The 'user admin' and 'sys admin' buttons are available to the LAMS admin user that was specified during the install (both basic and advanced, by default it is called 'lamsadmin').

This is as opposed to normal users with the 'administrator' role, who will only see the 'user admin' button, but not the 'sys admin' button. The user 'admin' is one of these, it is a demo user installed by default. The thing is, the demo users are given the same password as the LAMS admin user during installation.

I think what happened is, the first time you must have logged in with user 'admin' (no 'sys admin' button), but second time logged in with 'lamsadmin' ('sys admin' button appears).
