Got a shared hosting server. Can they run on this platform?

How do I install lams on a shared host user? (I am the root administrator for the shared user)

# wget http://lamscommunity.org/2.3/stable/unix/lams-unixinstaller-2.3.tar.gz
# tar -zxf lams-unix-installer-2.3.tar.gz

[/home/demo/public_html/moodle/lams-unix-installer-2.3]# ./install-lams.sh
./install-lams.sh: line 61: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun//bin/java: No such file or directory
Install failed. Could not verify java installation, check your lams.properties file for the co rrect JDK_DIR entry, and that you have set your JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables corre ctly.
Refer to the readme for help with setting up java for LAMS.

Hi Albert,

Have a look at the readme file that is in the same directroy as whwere you run the install-lams.sh script.

There are a few software requirements to install LAMS:

JDK 1.5 or 1.6
JBOSS-4.0.2 (Must be 4.0.2, newer and older versions have problems running LAMS)
MySql 5.0.x (Running)
Wildfire (Running - Required if you want to use chat tools)
ANT - Included in this package

Also, here's the Unix installer help:

If you run Debian or Ubuntu, it gets really easy:

Thanks,

Ernie

Again, I am running on 'shared hosting' environment - not as 'root'

Hence the difficulty - does this requirement better of on a dedicated resources?

You should be able to install LAMS on a shared hosting if you have access to the shell even if you don't have access to root user.

However, you won't be able to run LAMS on port 80 as that's restricted to root.

Just have a look at the installation instructions for linux.

Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks,

Ernie
