Forum Problems Installing LAMS: Re: Unable to connect to localhost - Urgent!

When you get the 'unable to connect' message, did you start the LAMS server? (ie 'Start LAMS' shortcut in Start Menu) When you finish installing LAMS it may start it automatically for you, but it's not set to start automatically with your computer.

LAMS data is saved in the database - you can't manage it as you would normal files. e.g. to retrieve a saved sequence you need to export it from LAMS Author.

Files that you upload are a different story - these are stored in C:\lams\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy\lams.ear\lams-www.war\secure if uploaded via the fckeditor, or C:\lams\repository if uploaded via a tool.

Usernames and passwords are stored in the database, but you can't view passwords. You can however change them if you have access to the database.

Cheers
