Ok, going a bit nuts here. :)


I get the following message when I do the validation from moodle's LAMS v2:

HTTP Error: Couldn't open socket connection to server http://localhost:8080/lams/services/VerificationService?wsdl, Error (111): Connection refused

And this when I try to add a new lesson from within the course:

Call to LAMS failed: received no response or connection was refused. Please check that you have the correct LAMS server URL and that it is online.

When I select the Open Authoring from moodle, it works.

Thank you for your help,

Aureliano Nava

I'm running the LAMS server on my laptop using WAMP and I do the connecting mostly form within my home network. I access the LAMS server as http://localhost:8080/lams. As mentioned earlier, my moodle service is being hosted with Bluehost.

LAMS setup is:

id: mylausd
key: mylausd
name: mylausd
description: mylausd
prefix: mylausd

user info url: http://mylausd.com/mylausd/mod/lamstwo/userinfo.php?ts=%timestamp%&un=%username%&hs=%hash%

external server url: http://mylausd.com/mylausd

and from moodle's LAMS v2:

server url: http://localhost:8080/lams
server id: mylausd
server key: mylausd
server source: mylausd


Thank you,

A. Nava

Hi Aureliano,

Unfortunately, this is not going to work if you must refer your laptop as localhost.

The Moodle LAMS module (in Moodle) needs to contact LAMS to get the list of available sequences you have to create lessons. Since you have configure in Moodle that the LAMS URL is http://localhost:8080/lams when Moodle tries to contact localhost, it won't reach your laptop. (As localhost means 'this computer').

Can you refer to your laptop with a static internet public IP?

Thanks,

Ernie
