Anders,

I remember the problems we had getting 2.0 working!

We did do a change to the installers so they would support XAMPP but we must have missed something. I have asked Luke to look into the MySQL problem tomorrow.

Looking at the error log, I don't think anything significant has been changed. All the deletes and removes that you can see in the log are just temporary files.

So you should be able to start LAMS (using the normal start link) and 2.0 should still run until we can sort out the installer problem.

Hi Fiona,
Sorry to bother again .
I couldn't start LAMS that way.
I think the installer has updated
parts of the directories and files
in the original LAMS directory. At
least there's an apache-ant directory
that wasn't there before. I just renamed
the first bak-directory to 'lams' thouugh
and I then was 'on the road again'. I'm not
in a hurry. I can wait till the installer
has been fixed.

Good problem hunting!
Anders

Yes I have exactly the same problem - using my MySQL installation from XAMPP, but it's not upgrading. The same symptoms as you described. I will watch this space to see whether this problem can be fixed.

Hi Luke,

I have tested the new package and it works! Thank you so much for fixing the bug so quickly.

I notice on the download page that there is a binary package for linux/unix/Mac for LAMS 2.0. Just clarifying, is this LAMS 2.0 or LAMS 2.0.1?

Thanks again,
Tim.

Tim,

The linux/unix/Mac for LAMS 2.0 is LAMS 2.0, NOT LAMS 2.0.1

Now that we have another version of the windows installer out, Luke can get started on the linux/unix/Mac version for 2.0.1.

To clarify Luke's message - the downloads page now has a new version of the 2.0.1 installer. You can tell the new one from the old version by the name - when you download it the name will be LAMS-2.0.1-200703141739.exe, rather than LAMS-2.0.1.

This should fix the two main problems:
* the ant error message
* the MySQL path problem in XAMPP environments.

We don't know exactly why the ant error message was appearing - we think it was a problem deleting the LAMS 2.0 temporary files. We think that LAMS hadn't fully shutdown or that some other program had a lock on some temporary files. We weren't reporting the errors with deleting the temporary files isn't essential.

If there is a problem deleting files, you will now get an error message. This will give you a chance to delete them manually and then rerun the installer.
