LAMS 2.3.3 - Learning Activity Management System ---------------------------------------------- This is a patch update from LAMS 2.3.2 to 2.3.3, this version does not do a full install, you must install LAMS 2.3.2 first. For release notes goto: http://is.gd/2IDib NOTE TO SYSADMINS: If you are doing an upgrade and your users report problems in authoring, they may need to clear their browser cache. If you have a user see the message "Unknown toolbar item "UniversalKey" or if the user is sees the message "Congratulations, your content saved successfully!" but the close button doesn't work, then please tell them to clear their cache. 1. Startup and Shutdown ======================= To use LAMS 2, first make sure it is started - use the 'Start LAMS' shortcut in the LAMSv2 Start Menu folder if you're not sure. MySQL must be running. For chat rooms to function, Wildfire must also be running. While LAMS 2 is running, you may access the login page using the 'Access LAMS' short cut in the LAMSv2 Start Menu folder. To stop LAMS 2, use the 'Stop LAMS' shortcut in the LAMSv2 Start Menu folder. Note to System Administrators: 2. Server Configuration ======================= For single user installations (i.e., personal use on your own desktop), please ignore this section. For server deployments, you will probably want to configure the default JVM memory settings for your server. In C:\lams\jboss-4.0.2\conf\wrapper.conf (or wherever you installed LAMS 2), find the lines that say # Initial Java Heap Size (in MB) wrapper.java.initmemory=256 # Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB) wrapper.java.maxmemory=512 and adjust the minimum and maximum amount of memory allocated there. We also recommend increasing the -XX:MaxPermSize option if you have more than a couple of users. You can do that by adding this line underneath. wrapper.java.additional.2=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m For Sun JDK versions before 1.5.0_07, the default is 64m. If your Sun JDK version is 1.5.0_07 or later, the default is 256m. 3.
