The multi-tier web based solution will be used for the development of LAMS 2.x The architecture comprises of:
* Apache web server (optional),
* JBOSS 4.0.2 application server
* Java Sun JDK 6 (also known as JDK 1.6)
* MySQL 5.5 or 5.1 database server (see [Database Conventions and Datasources]).
\\
LAMS is written in JAVA, which in principle makes it operating system independent.
The use of Hibernate mappings could make the application, with some level of configuration, database independent.

LAMS 2.0 will be supported on the following operating systems and browsers:
|| Operating System || Supported Browsers ||
| Windows XP & Vista | IE 7 or 8, Firefox 3\+, Safari 4, Google Chrome, Opera 9.6+ |
| Mac OS X | Firefox 3\+, Safari 4, Opera 9.6+, Google Chrome |
LAMS 2.x is designed to run on 800x600 monitor for the learner module, and a 1024x800 monitor for the authoring module. A larger monitor is useful for learners but it will run in 800x600 - on a smaller screen, scrolling will be required to access all sections of the screens. LAMS makes use of pop-up windows. If you need help to allow this, please look at [this document|^LAMS_popup_blockers.pdf].
Other browsers and operating systems may work but are not officially supported.
The system requires Javascript and [Adobe Flash Plug-in|http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/] versions 8, 9 or 10 from [Adobe|http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/]. Please see the [Troubleshooting|lamsdocs:Troubleshooting#Flash+Player] page for problems with particular versions of Flash and check that you aren't using the problematic versions.
