Adding a news role is very easy.<br>
<br>
Just create a new role and call it news poster. In the permissions<br>
scroll down and allow "post news". I am doing this from memory so it<br>
might be slightly different.<br>
<br>
No need to add anything else, just save the role. No go to assign<br>
fromtpage roles and assign this new role to the appropriate students<br>
and your done!<br>

Thanks, I thought it was something like that. I was confused by the<br>
"News Poster" permission being in the "Courses" section of the<br>
permissions. Am I right in assuming I should use "Student" as the legacy<br>
role?<br>

Greetings fellow earthlings;<br>
<br>
I have finally had some success setting up LAMS2 on an Ubuntu server.<br>
There are traps and I thought I'd share my solutions.<br>
<br>
During installation Lams2 asks for a free port:<br>
I use 8080 for CMap Tools so I gave it 8380.<br>
This means you need to complete another port forwarding request from Edunet.<br>
<br>
I have disabled name-resolution in my database to speed things up so all<br>
my DB users need access from the localhost IP which is 127.0.0.1. This<br>
is trivial to fix in Moodle (config.php) but harder in Lams2 because it<br>
isn't documented. Using the famous unix recursive "grep" tool I discovered<br>
that in Ubuntu you need to edit the /usr/share/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/deploy/mysql-ds.xml file. (Now there's a catchy title)<br>
<br>
I changed "localhost" to 127.0.0.1 and took note of the default database<br>
user and their password.<br>
<br>
In MySQL I fixed the permissions of the default Lams db user like so:<br>
<br>
grant <permissions> on lams.* to <lamsuser>@<a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a> identified by<br>
<password>;<br>
flush privileges;<br>
<br>
Voila! it works! Now to integrate it with Moodle and find out what it<br>
actually does.<br>
<br>
