1: Install on server and integrate with Moodle

Hi all, I am new to LAMS but need some guidance to get me going!

I wish to install LAMS and the integration with Moodle on a webserver:

Here are its versions:

Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.4
MySQL version 5.0.67-community
Architecture i686
Operating system Linux

I have Moodle running and have installed the integration module. However here is where I am stuck.

I need to install LAMS on the server but really can't see where to start. This is not a local machine so I don't think I can run installers.

Where would I start looking for guidance on this?

Thank you for your help!

Hi Glyn,

If you are running linux you can indeed use the linux installers.

If you are running ubuntu or debian, it actually is even easier.

Do you have access as root to the linux box?

If so, have a look at the instructions in the Unix Installer Help page.

In addition, we are about to roll out LAMS 2.3 (May 22nd if everything goes alright), so as part of that we've been testing lots and lots of installers in linux/unix flavors. Each installer has *all* step by step instructions. So that might help.

Thanks,

Ernie

Thanks Ernie for the prompt reply!

Not sure if I have root level access to the server. It is a shared hosting service so probably not ....

It is provided by Jumba.com.au

Perhaps this is something they need to install for me?

Cheers

Hey Glyn,

I'm not sure if you can get access to the linux console if you are on a hosted service. But if you don't talk to the LI guys and they might be able to help.

Good news is that you don't necessarily have to have both LAMS and Moodle in the same server, so effectively they can be anywhere on the internet.

Thanks,

Ernie

Thanks Ernie, I will talk to the current hosting provider and see what they say.

Otherwise I will talk to LI!

Thanks again
