I might give Elgg the last look after calling Paul .. LAMS and Mahara seem to be the way to go.<br> <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=103021">http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=103021</a><br><br>

Daniel and I are going to have a go at supercharging our Moodle server by integrating all these packages at once (Elgg, LAMS, Mahara etc). Am lucky to have some tech help around on Monday and Tuesday from NetworkHelp so it is a good opportunity for us to not miss the upgrade and have a specialist on hand.<br>
<br>Of course we will do this using a virtual machine copy so we can roll back the changes if it falls over or fails. I'll get Daniel to post some feedback about how it goes.<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I guess this is Moodlish!<br>
<br>
I'm playing with integrating LAMS and Moodle but am having a lot of<br>
problems with the LAMS installation. I can't work out where it puts all<br>
its config files on my Ubuntu system.<br>
<br>
I followed Donna's suggestions on tweaking MySQL with huge performance<br>
boosts (thanks Donna) but that meant I use IPs rather than "localhost" for<br>
mysql users. I can't for the life of me find this line in in a<br>
non-existant lams.properties on my system so I can change "localhost" to<br>
<a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a>.<br>
SQL_URL=jdbc:mysql://localhost/${DB_NAME}?characterEncoding=utf8<br>
<br>
Neither can I find the MySQL password for the lams db user (you don't get<br>
prompted for one on installation). Despite the online info there is no<br>
/etc/lams2 or /usr/share/lams2/config and nothing in the /usr/local or<br>
/usr/share/doc directories. (I really don't enjoy Java apps)<br>
<br>
I could untweak MySQL and comment out "skip-name-resolve" and reinstate my<br>
"localhost" users but I just don't want to!<br>
