Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Re: Moodle/LAMS cannot open monitor in Moodle

It is hard to remember EXACTLY what I did to get to that point.

I know that I started out logged into Moodle. I opened the monitor and then tried the Live Edit option.

However, when I tried to save it the program told me that I could not save it because it was 'read only'.

Then I think the next step was that I logged into my LAMS site and tried to make a copy of the sequence that way, but I had the same problem.

Then when I went back to Moodle, I could not open it in the monitor.

Rod,

> Then when I went back to Moodle, I could not open it in the monitor.

What did it say? Something along the lines of "Hi Rod Spears, you haven't finished editing XYZ

Click Continue to proceed"

?

Sorry, the project is being edited by Rod Spears.

Unavailable, try again.

Try Availability-button


When I click that button I keep getting this message.

I am Rod Spears and I am currently logged in to Moodle when this is happening, so I know that I am not currently editing this project.

Hi Rod,

I think I know what the problem is. I'm putting together a package to fix this. Almost done with it, just need to test it.

Thanks,

Ernie

Rod,

OK, I think the attached patch will fix the problem you are having with the integration. (You need to come to the forum to download the attachment).

Just unzip the file and follow these instructions:

1. Stop LAMS
2. Backup LAMS and LAMS database
3. Copy author.jsp to jboss-4.0.2/server/default/deploy/lams.ear/lams-central.war/
4. Copy openUrls.js to jboss-4.0.2/server/default/deploy/lams.ear/lams-central.war/includes/javascript/
5. Copy lams-monitoring.war to jboss-4.0.2/server/default/deplay/lams.ear/
6. Delete everything within the jboss-4.0.2/server/default/tmp/ (but do not remove the directory)
7. Delete everything within the jboss-4.0.2/server/default/work/ (but do not remove the directory)
8. Restart LAMS


This should allow you to see the "Live Edit" function. Let us know otherwise.

Thank you Ernie. I will download the patch and keep it until my students have completed their current lesson.

After this problem occurred I created a new sequence and started a lesson using that sequence.

I don't want to make any changes on my LAMS installation until they all finish, just in case I make some type of error while doing this.

I do plan to use the patch to avoid this happening again.
