Forum Problems Installing LAMS: Re: Lams Deployment Problem

Sorry for the delay in replying, got a bit busy and missed this post...

Before installing lams, you should be able to start jboss and access http://localhost:8180/jmx-console - LAMS restricts this url when you install it.

If you're still getting the 500 error - no context configured for /lams - you could try starting from scratch.
1. Take a fresh copy of jboss from lams-package
2. From the deploy directory of your existing jboss, copy lams-1.0.jar, lams.war, lams-hibernate.sar, mysql-service.xml, and tomcat41-service.xml into the deploy directory of your fresh copy of jboss.
3. Copy all the .jars from lams-package/lib into the new jboss/server/default/lib
4. Start mysql, export a JAVA_HOME into your current session (export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java), cd into jboss/bin, and do './run.sh'.

This should be enough to display the LAMS front page when you access /lams - using the database and tomcat settings from the first time you configured lams. Obviously the install will be incomplete without the rest of the config files, but this may help in isolating the problem.

The other way would be to simply follow the steps to reinstall, perhaps using this as a guide. As in my earlier post, another user had success doing this when they had the same problem, although there's less chance of figuring out WHY it didn't work in the first place.

> however, the server log is empty again!!
Do you think this is because of the forum, or is your server.log really empty?
