Forum Problems Installing LAMS: Re: Problems logging into LAMS with "sysadmin"

By: Martyn Yap

[ Reply | Forward ]

Yup, you're right. There is no 'lams' text located in the file.

However, I did try to reinstall previously and the same
problems occured. Extracted the lams package and changed the lams.properties before running ./install-lams.sh

After which I change the JBOSS to allow more memory.

Is there any specific things I should take note during the installation? (e.g. JBOSS or extracting the lams package)

You can bring up the login page, so you're halfway there.

Are there any logs in the lams-unix-installer-2.0.4/log directory? Any errors in the installer output? Any other errors in the lams logs (server.log, lams.log)?

You could fix the particular problem you're having by doing something like,
cd lams-unix-installer-2.0.4/conf/unix/jboss
cp *.xml /path/to/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/conf
but we don't know what else might have failed during the install...

I did managed to get to the login screen. There is no errors during from the log files.

Could it be the locale issue? I don't remember changing anything on that.

Many Thanks...= ]

Tried your method and seems to resolved the above issue but now there's another one.

Yup, managed to get to the login page. There are no errors found in the installation logs. Seems ok there.

Tried your method and restart JBOSS and LAMS. Seems to have resolved the issue but another file (lamsauthentication.xml) is missing.

Getting closer. = ]

Sorry, looks like the installer is supposed to replace @confdir@ with the correct value - which should be /path/to/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/conf/ (replace with your correct path).

Actually, you might also be missing the lamsauthentication.xml and lamsauthentication.dtd files - these are located in lams-unix-installer-2.0.4/conf/unix/authentication, and they go in jboss/server/default/conf/ as well.

Can you do the following - it'll run the section of the installer that copies the conf files for jboss (there are others I haven't mentioned):

cd lams-unix-installer-2.0.4
ant/bin/ant -buildfile ant-scripts/configure-deploy.xml copy-conf

Yup, done that and I managed to login but it displays the HTTP500 error page instead.

Should I proceed to do a reinstall? Can't figure out what could be the problem here.

After restarting, I managed to get to the login page and enter the uname and pwd but it than directs me to this HTTP500 page.

12:22:25,251 [http-0.0.0.0-8080-3:] DEBUG org.lamsfoundation.lams.security.UniversalLoginModule - ===> authentication type :LAMS

Seems to be having a null session id and not matching to the current session id, but I'm unsure where to make changes.

Yeah, not sure what's happening there - do you have the logs for the installer? They should be located under lams-unix-installer-2.0.4/log/.

Aplogises .. it seems like its working now ... managed to login successfully, but seem like there another problem accessing the sysadmin function. Thanks for assisting all this while.

Here's the error from the log. = ]

The user object containing some info about the logged-in user is missing... are you logged into a Wildfire admin interface by any chance? That can interfere with LAMS' cookies. Try closing the browser and all it's windows and logging in again, starting a fresh new session. If you still get the 'userDTO is missing' message, something deeper must still be wrong.

I did not install Wildfire as I have decided not to have a chat function. Did close all the browser windows and clear its cache.

Now it shows me the HTTP404 error, previous it just open a new window with the same information.

Any chance where I should look at?

Just had a closer look at the conf files in 2.0.4, and there's one more thing I think you might not have done - in /path/to/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/conf/lamsauthentication.xml, at the top is another @confdir@ which needs to contain the proper path to lamsauthentication.dtd (should be in the same directory).

Should the top part look like this?

How many slashes should it have?

The first two lines should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Authentication PUBLIC "-//LAMS//DTD LAMS//EN" "http://lamsfoundation.org/dtd/lamsauthentication.dtd">

This version points to the lamsfoundation.org website, which should also work.

Tried both the ways and the same problem still occurs?

Now it seems that I do not get a HTTP 404 error but the page keeps on refreshing itself.

Thanks! =]

Can you reinstall the installer from scratch? Originally your install had an error where it didn't copy the files across, and we never got to see the logs as to why that happened. Before installing though, remove the current jboss-4.0.2 directory, unzip a new jboss-4.0.2 instance, drop the current lams database, and then run the installer again - if you run into problems, post the installer logs (located under lams-unix-installer-2.0.4/logs).

Hihi,

It works after removing the JBOSS directory and dropping the database. Not sure where it went wrong but sincere thanks for the assistance given.

Now ... I'm going to try to integrate LAMS with Blackboard.

Cheers!
