Forum Problems Installing LAMS: installing lams problem in linux

I think this might be due to the mysql root password not being correct?

Can you double check if the password you enter it is the right one?

$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password: (the password you enter here should be the same as you have in your lams.properties file)

If you see this after you enter your password:

--
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 90 to server version: 5.0.24a-standard

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>
--

Then that's the password to put in the lams.properties.

Thanks,

Ernie

Did you copy the binary_package folder (output of untar) into /var/www? Note that although LAMS is a web application, it won't work straight away if you put it on a web folder.

The unix installer runs some scripts that create the database table and deploy the 'LAMS code' into the JBoss server to be run.

At any rate, can you run the following command in your /var/www/lams folder?

ls -laR ant/

and post the output of what you get here?

It seems for the error you post above:

> Class Not Found: JDBC driver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver


That the mysql driver is not in the ant/lib directory... so we want to check whether that's the case.

Thanks,

Ernie

ant -diagnostics | grep ant.library.dir
ant -diagnostics | grep java.class.path

The first should say something like, '/var/www/lams/ant/lib' and the second should include mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar somewhere.

I have the very same problem that Ablet... I have done everything but I cant install LAMS 2.0

I executed ant -diagnostics | grep ant.library.dir and i got:
ant.library.dir : /usr/share/ant/lib

Also, I wrote: ant -diagnostics | grep java.class.path and this is the output:
java.class.path : /usr/share/java/ant.jar:/usr/share/java/ant-launcher.jar:/usr/share/java/jaxp_parser_impl.jar:/usr/share/java/xml-commons-apis.jar:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_01/lib/tools.jar

I have CentOS 5, Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS), Mysql 5.0.22, JDK jdk1.6.0_01, Jboss 4.0.2.

I need help, Carla

I think you're using the ant included with your OS, rather than the ant included with the lams package. That's OK, but it needs to know where to find the mysql jar.

One way to do this is to include it as an argument to ant, as Luke said:

ant -lib /path/to/lams/package/ant/lib install

Or, copy the mysql jar to /usr/share/java (as that seems to be where your copy of ant has its libraries):

cp /path/to/lams/package/ant/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.12-bin.jar /usr/share/java

The LAMS2.0.2 installer is available if you want to give this a go instead.

Thanks,

Ernie

I decided to try the installer mentioned by Ernie and, everything goes perfect!

Thank you very much!
Krla

Posted by Carla Segura

ant -lib (directory containing mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar) install

Ie if you are in the root install package dir:

ant -lib ant/lib install
