NTER Files

To install the NTER LMS update you must be root or admin on your system.

The upgrade file is a Java jar file so Java must be installed on your system.

If you have customized any pages, save those files.  The update will NOT overwrite courses that are on your system, or user data.

It may overwrite custom footers and the text in web pages that you have created or modified.

1. Shut down the Apache Web server (or IIS on Windows) on your
   LMS server.

2. On the desktop double-click the jar file to run it.
   
   If you are using the command line type:

    java -jar nwtp-installer-8.2.0-installer-installer.jar -console.

3. When asked which directory to use, enter /var/www or wherever
   the root directory of Apache (or IIS) is on your system.
   On IIS under Windows this is usually c:\inetpub\wwwroot.

    
4. Restart services (Apache, etc.).


5. Browse to yourLMS.edu/nwtp/setup/setup.php
  
   This runs a setup utility web app.

   To login to the setup web app you must have the "Master 
   Password" which is typically the root password at the time 
   the LMS was installed.

   If you do not have the Master Password you can change it by 
   going into the <doc root>/nwtp/ilias.ini.php file and 
   inserting the MD5 hash for a new password in the "pass" 
   parameter.

   You can get the MD5 hash by using various tools like OpenSSH, 
   Java utilities, or by going online to web sites that will 
   generate it for you (may be dangerous doing this online!).

   Go to the "List of Clients" page in the app and update the 
   database and language.

   Note: For the language setting to take effect you must scroll 
   to the bottom of the page and click the "Update" button.
