Posted by Alejandro Martinez on
I have installed the e-lane distro, but when I try to add a class the system generates an error, can someone help me to fix it or tell me what to do or where can I find answers to this kind of issues.

What e-lane version are you using?
I think you can just use the .LRN distribution as e-lane distribution is just a customization for the E-LANE project with no extra features.
Can you try latest .LRN version instead? (or just get it from CVS)

Alenjandro,

could you please post the e-lane version and postgresql version that you are using. If you can provide details about the error would be better.

Regards,
Victor Guerra

Hi Alejandro,

I was playing aroung with the the class creation in your instance, and looks like a permisions problem to me.

its tying to create the rss directory when adding the news applet to the new community , so please check the owner and permission for /usr/local/www/yourdomain/dotlrn211-elane/. Permisions should be 755 ( chmod -R 755 ) and the owner should be the user that you are using for runing your service.

Regards,
Victor Guerra.

Rafael,

A little suggestion about section 2, about Debian installer... It would be better if it would say:

  • Debian Linux Installer: The easiest if you are a Linux user or you want it for a large installation. You just need to :
    • Add the sources below to your sources.list file (/etc/apt/sources.list):

      deb http://home.galileo.edu/~solca/dotlrn/binary/

      to install the source code:

      deb-src http://home.galileo.edu/~solca/dotlrn/source/

    • Update the packages list running 'apt-get update' command

    • Install the system using a package installer or just with 'apt-get install dotlrn'

    • For more information you should read this post: https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message%5fid=177317

The link of 'Windows Installer' (http://www.ncs.gr/openacs/) seems to be broken.

Cheers :).

Note that there has to be a "space" between /dotlrn/ and binary ( the same for dotlrn/ source/).

So the correct lines to add to the sources.list file are:

deb http://home.galileo.edu/~solca/dotlrn/ binary/
deb-src http://home.galileo.edu/~solca/dotlrn/ source/

Victor Guerra.

I have several lab starting to use (some in remote locations) the e-lane LiveCD. So, I am requesting that we put it back up for now, if possible, and I would take on the project of updating the e-lane. I spoke to Avni about updating e-lane (8-07) and she'd help.

Gradient is good but hw reqrmts are too much for some of my initial deployments. Are you planning to tie e-lane in with Gradient, now or at some other point? I know someone had told me to just use the VMware version. Actually, I/ve load both dotlrn VMWare files and I can do more (install other packages that I need) with the e-lane 05-10-12 LiveCD version.

I need the e-lane LiveCD site back up, please. Plus I discovered on Friday night that: Edubuntu, Gutsy, 7.10 has both dotlrn and oacs as packages that can be installed via synaptic.

fyi.... the http://e-lane.org/pub Message Says:

We seem to have DNS problems solving e-lane.org. However, the server is up. Point to

http://bach.gast.it.uc3m.es:8000

Regards.

...ah, and I forgot. The e-lane project finished last May. The site and its content will probably stay for a few more months, but eventually disappear. I suggest you make local copies of the downloadable files there. We'll move some files to the Gradient server (as you mentioned) in the near future.

It's great to see it back up, this morning.

I uploaded the iso last night to: http://jmnp.net/knoppix-elane_EN_2005-10-12.iso so I would be able to point others to it.

I still find the e-lane to be a viable solution for the classroom or individual user with limited access to a server grade computer, limited access to the Internet and or lack of comfort with installing debian and the dotlrn.

I did discover, last Friday that the Edubuntu Gutsy 7.10 has dotlrn, oacs and moodle scripts in the Internet package repository. I selected them both for installation and I think it got confused, so neither one of them worked, when the script was done. But, I'm very glad to see that they are in there.

Thanks again.
