Hi Luke,
this is my system in localhost:
- XP SP3 521 Mb Ram, 1.6 Mhz
- i didn't upgrade old version, i use windows-installer LAMS v2.2.exe.
- i saw all documents about technical instructions in wiki.lamsfoundation.org and i'm completely conform of it
- i used:
XAMPP per Windows Version 1.7.0
Apache/2.2.11 (Win32)
MySQL client: 5.1.30
PHP Version 5.2.8
- i changed LAMS port number reinstalling all from 8080 to 8180, but it doesn't works!
- i'm not any trouble with start LAMS service
- from my IE Explorer v7:
http://localhost/lams: object not found
http://localhost:8180/lams/: The requested resource (/lams/) is not available. - Apache Tomcat/5.5.9
http://localhost:8180/status?full=true#2.0 JBoss it found
- i found any indication about old error for copy of file in other directory it's all OK
- remember this: with LAMS v2.04 it's all OK!!!

What needs for LAMS v2.2? Is it possible follow a complete installation procedure?

I'm looking for other new about it but i didn't think to be alone with this trouble!!!

Thanks a lots

Hi Stefano,

I just re-tested on Win XP and XAMPP bundled Mysql, I followed the steps for XAMPP on the wiki. I didnt have a problem with the install, and LAMS started correctly.

Perhaps something else is causing your error, can you please send the lams/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/log/server.log file?

thanks,

Luke

Hi Luke,
all it's always possible specially in HiTech ...
But i didn't undestand why it works well with LAMS v2.04 and it doesn't works with LAMS v2.2, repeat: without any modification!

I'm remembering just now from your request about log file and in fact every time are upgrated boot.log, server.log, hibernatelams.log, localhost_access_log.2009-03-05.log

=== boot.log ===
it's too long

=== server.log ===
it's too long

=== hibernatelams.log ===
it's too long

=== localhost_access_log.2009-03-05.log ===
127.0.0.1 - - [05/Mar/2009:11:10:05 +0100] "GET /lams/ HTTP/1.1" 404 968

Unluckily this forum hasn't got any possiblity to enclose files. I don't want full this massage whith hundreds of lines! Could you give your mail addres so i'll send you immediately all file logs?

Thanks

Hi Stefano,

As far as I can tell, you need to follow the same steps with LAMS 2.0.4 and LAMS 2.2 with XAMPP installation, and it works fine. Installing with LAMS 2.0.4 and XAMPP still required you to have the my.ini file created before you started the installation.

You can actually, when you post a reply there is an option below that says "Attach" you just need to select yes and the next page will allow you to attach the file.

Thats ok Stefano,

It does look like there has been some failure with the database, some tables are missing according to the logs. Do you still have the install logs?

They should be stored in the C:\xampp\lams\install-logs directory.

If you could zip those up and send attach them in the next post I might be able to work out what wen wrong from there.

Otherwise it might be an idea to re-install,

Luke

Hi Luke,

I understood what you mean, infact into the install-logs file i found finally something of interesting about the failure.

Following the content about two smart files:

=== configure-deploy.log ===

Buildfile: build.xml

configure-deploy:
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\lams
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\xampp\htdocs\lams\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\xampp\htdocs\lams\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\xampp\htdocs\lams\jboss-4.0.2\bin
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\xampp\htdocs\lams
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\xampp\htdocs\lams

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 seconds

=== import-db.log ===
import-db:
[sql] Executing file: C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\dump.sql
[sql] Failed to execute: CREATE TABLE `lams_events` ( `uid` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, `scope` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `event_session_id` bigint(20) default NULL, `triggered` tinyint(4) default NULL, `default_subject` varchar(255) default NULL, `default_message` text, `subject` varchar(255) default NULL, `message` text, `fail_time` datetime default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`uid`), UNIQUE KEY `uid` (`uid`), KEY `scope` (`scope`,`name`,`event_session_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

BUILD FAILED
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\IMPOST~1\Temp\build.xml:84: java.sql.SQLException: Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

Total time: 3 seconds

Furthermore, I tried to change the location about installation.

Before it was c:\XAMPP\lams now C:\xampp\htdocs\lams, but it doesn't change nothing! Remember that whith LAMS v 2.04 i haven't got any troubles about location directory!

Thanks again

Hi Stefano,

It seems you have come across a MySQL bug, see here:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=4541

There have been many new database tables introduced since 2.0.4, and it seems this is the source of the problem you are having.

Its very strange that this has not come up before, especially when I installed using the same configurations as you, and didnt get the problem. Also, there have been many, many other people using lams2.2 window installer who have not had this same problem.

The only thing I can think of is that it must either have something to do with the MySQL configurations that come with XAMPP or the version 5.1 (Strictly speaking LAMS supports 5.0.x distributions of MySQL).

This issue has been raised and we will try to make a work-around for this problem as soon as possible. In the mean time I can only suggest trying a different version of XAMPP (with Mysql 5.0), or simply installing mysql-server 5.0 directly (not bundled with XAMPP)

Sorry I couldnt find you a quick solution, but hopefully you will hear from us very soon

Luke
