Dear all,
I have 2 computers, one home PC, the other PC server with Moodle installed. I've connected Moodle and LAMS between those two computers, but I can not (don't know kow) to connect them on the PC server. My Moodle version is v1.9, LAMS v2.0.3, Xampp v1.6.9.
Thanks for your assistance.
JS,
Where, and under what circumstances, do you see this message? After you type the name for your Moodle site in your browser's address box? Do you type the name of the LAMS site in your browser (I know virtually nothing about LAMS; I just did a search of Moodle docs for LAMS and referred you to what seemed to be the most relevant pages)? Did you try to access LAMS through Moodle somehow when you got this message?
In any case, whichever site (Moodle or LAMS) the message is about, the server name needs to be mapped to an IP address in a name server, either in you LAN or on the Internet, or both, depending on how you are trying to access it. If you don't have such a map, and don't want to or know how to create it, and there's no one you work with who can do that, you can just refer to the site in question by its (local or Internet as the case may be) numeric IP address. For example, in the case of your Moodle site, you can change the wwwroot line in config.php to the numeric address, and type that address in your browser to access it.
The same thing applies to your LAMS site. You can go into the LAMS settings in Moodle as administrator and change the URL setting for the LAMS server to the numeric address.
If you do want to create the map, that's another question, and I'm not really an expert on that, especially in a LAN context. I know that on a Linux system it is done with a utility called BIND. On the Internet it is usually taken care of by the registrar that registered your Internet domain. Sometimes the web host or ISP handles the registration process as well.
