Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Space required for LAMS's instalation

"LAMS is meant to run on a minimum configuration of Pentium 4 processors with 512 MB RAM and 2 GB of disk space."

See LAMS System Requirements for further details.

But do we need to have that space actually free? Or that's just the mininum requirements of the equipment?

The source of my question is due to the fact I've read somewhere here that we need at least 1 GB of RAM and 40 GB of disk space. And I'm wondering if the instalation requires that amount of free space.

For a basic installation of LAMS you probably need about 600MB. Actually LAMS is less than about 20 MBs last time I checked but it's Java JDK, MySQL and JBoss that take the rest.

After you install LAMS, the disk space that will require depends on what content you add to your lessons. If you add massive videos and large content, well, of course you'll need more disk space as well.

I hope that clarifies this. Let me know otherwise.

Thanks,

The default settings in LAMS will start taking a minimum of 256MB RAM and upto 768MBs if you have hundreds of concurrent users.

Thanks
