Witam.

Hi,

I am trying to install the LMS.

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.

There's no currently INSTALL.en, but i'll try help You out.

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:
