Greetings,
I want to introduce myself to this forum; I am a Science/Math teacher at a local secondary school. Having worked with Moodle 2.0 for a while, I am exploring LAMS to incorporate some exciting new designs to complement my current moodle lessons.
Needless to say that I am new with LAMS-Moodle(2.0) integration; and I would appreciate your assistance in getting the integration to work. Oh, I know that this integration is currently being worked on and, I have already done some exploring of the site provided by Ernie Ghiglione (thanks Ernie!).
In a nutshell, I am unable to validate the connectivity for integration while setting up the LAMS module; or start adding a LAMS lesson to a Moodle course. Please note that it is important for me to have seperate Moodle and LMS servers in order to meet organizational requirements.
Although this is a 'tech' forum, please forgive me for the detail of information provided. For future reference let me know if there was a way for me to have included such details seperately; even though I tried to put the following logs in the "Attach ?" part of this post.
My testing LAN setup has 2 virtualbox instances one for Moodle 2.0 and one for LAMS.
1. Moodle 2.0 on a recent release of Ubuntu for my moodle instance. (fatiedu.sma)
2. LAMS 2.3.4 and openfire installed using provided binary deb packages, on a different host but same release of Ubuntu (lamsedu.sma).
3. Both of the above virtual servers are on a virtualbox-internal network I have not installed firewall for this LAN interface.
Here are the open ports on fatiedu.sma (Moodle 2.0) and lamsedu.sma (LAMS/Openfire) respectively
