Updater: lams-unix-updater-2.1.tar.gz (~34 MB) Released 30 June 2008
In order to run this upgrader you must have LAMS2.0.3 or LAMS2.0.4 installed.
We've made a small improvement to the upgrader we originally released on 20 June 2008. Nothing in LAMS has changed - just a small tweak to the installer.
We initially did a 2.0.3 installer but found a problem with the Windows installer before it was announced. To try to make life simpler, we have dropped the 2.0.3 installer and gone straight to 2.0.4 for Unix, Linux and Macintosh.
If you have installed 2.0.3 then continue running 2.0.3. The 2.1 upgrader will support upgrading from 2.0.3 and 2.0.4. There is no difference between 2.0.4 on Unix/Linux/Mac except for the version numbers.
The script needs to be run with sudo privileges. Follow the on-screen prompts and you will be up and running within minutes!
Once you've installed LAMS, start it as root using
/etc/init.d/lams start
This starts up the JBoss server which is located in /usr/share/jboss-4.0.2.
Logs should start appearing in /usr/share/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/logs
After about a minute it should be accessible from a browser:
From LAMS 2.1, we have moved the Flash source files, using for building the Flash clients, to a separate project. If you just want to build LAMS, write your own tool or have a look at the Java source, only download the LAMS 2.x Java Source zipfile. You do not need the Flash source to build LAMS. Only download the Flash source if you want to look at the ActionScript used to create the Flash clients.
Note: If you build LAMS from source, then 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 is exactly the same except for the version numbers. So just use the 2.0.3 version and don't worry about the version numbers.
Since LAMS version 2.3, you can make use of full video conferencing facility using Dimdim, a webconferencing software. We have created a new Dimdim tool.
In order to use the Dimdim tool you will need to install a Dimdim server. You can use their open source or Enterprise versions. For installation and further details see Dimdim website. For configuration information see Setting Up Dimdim and LAMS
Red 5 server for Video Recording tool
You can now make use of an excellent Video Recording tool in LAMS. In order to use this tool, you will need to install a Red5 streaming server. Red5 is an open source project that you can download for free! Follow these set up and installation instructions.
All of these language packs are out of date. If you have installed LAMS 2.0 only (using the manual installer) then you should apply the 2007-02-09 language pack. If you have installed anything newer, do NOT apply these language packs.
