1: Problems with SSL / HTTPS

Hi! I have installed and configured LAMS with JBOSS / TOMCAT access via HTTPS. Everything works fine EXCEPT when we try to access clases. In this case, activities won't display, all I can see is a window with a "not found" message or "can't display". However, when we click on the map on the left the activities open OK. However, even in that case, when we click on "Completed" button at the end of the activity, next one won't display..

Hi Daniel,

Is the ServerURL (in the configuration settings) set as https?

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi! Thanks Ernie ... yes, it is set as https://myserverip:8443/lams ... even so, I have the problem I mention.

I seem to have a similar problem. 8080 works fine, but restricting it to 8443 I get weirdness in Authoring, i.e., Preview doesn't preview but pops up the file download dialog and asks if I want to save grouping.do. I'm using the following environment:

Debian 5.0.7
kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
lams2 package installed via apt-get with http://downloads.lamsinternational.com/debian web/ in my sources.list

From the download dialog it appeared that it was trying to use the correct port with the wrong protocol, saying that the file was from http://my.server.edu:8443.

It's been a few months since this post, so I'm hoping you've found a resolution.

Hi Matt,

I have figured this out now. It's a really silly error and the solution is quite simple too.

Here's the development task/ bug report

http://bugs.lamsfoundation.org/browse/LDEV-2670

I'll create a patch for you shortly.

Thanks,

ernie

See PATCH-004 for LAMS 2.3.5.

Matt, I believe you might be running LAMS 2.3.4. If so, please email me so I can send you a patch for your version.

Thanks,

Ernie

I am running 2.3.4, should have mentioned that.

Thanks for looking into it, I'll check it out. I actually decided that we may be better off using Apache as the front end. Lots of reasons, but not having to change ports for LAMS is a big one (nicer URLs for students that don't pay attention may be an even bigger reason.) Anyway, I have some debugging to do as it crashes when I go into Author and try to open a lesson.

Yeah, using LAMS with Apache as a front end, it is probably a better idea as you can serve the static content faster, run it over SSL and make use of all the nice mod_rewrite stuff.

Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks,

Ernie
