Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Install on Host Server?

You do need a separate LAMS server somewhere, not just the Moodle-LAMS module. This is what you see as the "interface to LAMS".

If you put the LAMS server on your laptop, then the students cannot access the activities when the laptop is turned off.

So you have to either get the LAMS server onto your host-provided server or get access to another LAMS server that someone else (like LAMS International) runs.

To install a LAMS server requires running MySQL, Java and JBoss, so not all host providers will allow you to install that software. For more details on the requirements to run LAMS, see System Requirements page. On this page we mention an Apache server - you would not have to have another Apache server as you are calling LAMS from Moodle.
