lams_tool_laqa
lams_tool_larsrc
lams_tool_nb
lams_tool_notebook

Can you attach or email the full server.log? The root cause is higher up in the file.

Jun-Dir, i sent you logs on email.

I saw a following mysql error there, repeated couple of times:

Error running SQL at statement number 1 "ALTER TABLE lams_user ADD COLUMN timezone TINYINT"

and

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Duplicate column name 'timezone'

and this:

2009-04-29 14:42:15,218 ERROR [com.tacitknowledge.util.migration.jdbc.WebAppJNDIMigrationLauncher] java.lang.RuntimeException: Migration exception caught during migration

and this one in the end:

ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext] Error listenerStart
2009-04-29 14:42:25,343 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext] Context [/lams/admin] startup failed due to previous errors

Thanks for that - problem is a file was accidentally checked into the branch. If you check out the latest for the branch it should be fine.

lams_common - in src/java/org/lamsfoundation/lams/dbupdates, patch0017_updateFrom23.sql shouldn't be there. You can just delete that file and recompile.

If you update the whole project from cvs, it's best to update the others as well - there are probably dependencies.

Alexander,

As we are getting closer to release, LAMS 2.3 might change daily. So keep an eye on the LAMS fisheye application so you can keep track of what it is being added to the LAMS 2.3 release

You might also want to watch for new bugs/task for the LAMS 2.3 release on our jira (bug/task tracker).

If you have a chance to help us test 2.3 the installers in about a week, that'll be really helpful as well!

Thanks,

Ernie

Thank you very much!

Will be happy to help in testing.

Please tell me will "temp_moodle_dev" project be updated for LAMS 2.3 version or they are compatible? And what about Moodle 1.9.4 integration?

Sincerely,
Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for volunteering for testing.

Here's the latest unix installer (~45MB). Remember this is a testing release, so things might fail and please avoid using it with real teaching/production.

We have tested these installer in all these platforms so if you have problems, have a look at the installation steps in any of them as they will help if you get stuck.

Additionally after you have installed it, see if you can go thru the lists of tests and let us know if you have any problems.

Thanks,

Ernie
