Hi,

Thanks for the help. I had figured it out to a large extent. I had created a empty /etc/lms.ini.

I have added the db userid/password information directly to server.php to lib/adodb/server.php. LMS is working now.

We provide Internet related services in IT Capital of India, Bangalore. We have developed a similar software for a Cable ISP over here. Our software uses similar framework but with some advanced feature set. But, the user interface is very primitive and we look forward to improve it in the coming version.

I feel LMS user interface is very good and intutive. I would like to know whether any work is going on for an English version. I would love to be of any help.

Venkatesh. K

I would like to know if there any english version of INSTALL document or can some one on the list help me out as I don't know polish.

0. What You need:

- webserver with PHP support (recommended: Apache 1.3.28 or newer) - PHP interpreter (at least 4.2.0) with support of: - regular expressions - mysql or postgresql - MySQL (3.23.53) or PostgreSQL (don't know, ALEC, can You help us?) - perl with modules: - POSIX, GetOpt::Long (standard perl modules) - Net::SMTP - Config::Inifiles - DBI - DBD-mysql (for mysql) or DBD-pgsql (for pgsql)

1. Downloading

Stable version is 1.0.3: http://lms.rulez.pl/download/lms-1.0.3.tar.gz Last unstable version released is 1.1.3: http://lms.rulez.pl/download/devel/lms-1.1.3.tar.gz You can also find nightly snapshots at http://lms.rulez.pl/download/devel/snapshots/ Current CVS version is here: http://cvs.rulez.pl/viewcvs.cgi/lms/lms.tar.gz?tarball=1

Download it, untar and move `lms' directory to destination directory, for example /var/www/htdocs/lms

You will need Smarty template engine (for stable version also ADOdb engine is needed):

cd /path/where/you/have/lms/ cd lib wget http://smarty.php.net/distributions/Smarty-2.5.0.tar.gz tar -xzf Smarty-2.5.0.tar.gz mv Smarty-2.5.0/libs Smarty

Please note, that in nightly snapshots and devel version directory (http://lms.rulez.pl/download/devel/) You can find tarballs with smarty included with '+libs' in filename, for example http://lms.rulez.pl/download/devel/lms-1.1.3+libs.tar.gz.

Check that templates_c and backups directories are writeable by webserver.

2. Setting up database.

MySQL:

mysql -u[user with full privileges] -p Enter password:[enter password] mysql> create database lms; mysql> grant usage on lms.* to lms@localhost; mysql> grant select,insert,update,delete,create on lms.* to lms@localhost identified by 'password'; mysql> flush privileges; mysql> use lms; mysql> source doc/lms.mysql;

PostgreSQL:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createuser -d -A -P lms /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb -E LATIN2 -U lms lms /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -d lms -U lms -f /lms/doc/lms.pgsql

3. Setting up.

Create file /etc/lms/lms.ini:

[database]

type = mysql ; or postgres if You using postgresql host = localhost user = lms password = password_from_section_2

[phpui]

; If You are using devel, cvs or snapshot version, ; this will disable alert on welcome page with information ; about development version:

disable_devel_warning = y
