Forum .LRN Q&A: Installing .dotLRN 2.0.0a3 2.0.0a3

Posted by Nima Mazloumi on 10/31/03 06:49 PM

Hi everybody,

I tried to install the new release with postgres and aolserver installed already. The problem is that no .lrn instance is installed. I had to install all applications and services myself and installing a working .lrn instance is sofar beyond my capabilities ;(

These are the installation steps I went through:

1. shutting down the aolserver as root

2. deleting the current openacs instance from postgres as service0 user

dumpdb service0

3. creating a new database and configurating it as service0 user (incl. search functionality)

dumdb unima0
createlang plpgsql unima0
psql unima0 -f /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/tsearch.sql
psql unima0 -f /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/openfts.sql

4. Unpacking dotLRN 2.0.0a3 2.0.0a3 in service0 folder als service0 user
5. restarting the aolserver as root
6. Passing some initial informations
7. The OpenACS installation starts
8. After restarting OpenACS I end up in the Main-Site instead of in .LRN

Why is that? The .LRN 1.0 installer always also prepared a .lrn instance to use. What do I do wrong?

Greetings,
Nima

I tried out a clean installation of Version 2.0.0a4.

Now a .LRN instance is installed. But under internationalization/Localization all terms except for locale English (US) are untranslated.

Has anyone an idea why that is the case or had the same result?

Greetings,
Nima

In /acs-lang/admin, click on a language and select the option 'Import all messages for this locale'. Hit OK, wait a few minutes, and voila, they should be available.

This is somehow hidden in the UI currently.

Nima,
from your post it sounds like you need to copy the server_root/package/dotlrn/install.xml file to server_root. Doing that will automatically (or automagically as some people prefer to say) install .LRN at the same time as OpenACS is installed.
