# About LRR
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
LRR (Lab Report Repository) is an online software application for course instructors to post, receive and mark assignments, and for students to submit assignments, or submit re-marking requests.
2020-03-22 19:26:54 +08:00
2021-10-24 13:39:00 +08:00
This software was originally developed by Mahomed Nor in 2018, a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the Zhejiang Normal University,
2020-03-29 16:29:56 +08:00
while he was taking a graduate course called **Advanced Software Engineering** (http://lanlab.org/course/2018f/se/homepage.html).
2021-10-24 13:39:00 +08:00
The LRR's project home page is at http://121.4.94.30/homepage/. For potential project contributors, we recommend that you browse its home page first to familiarize yourself with the project.

# Mission
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
Our mission is to make the experience of submitting assignments great for tens of hundreds of students in the department of computer science at the Zhejiang Normal University.

# Installation Instructions
2020-03-22 19:26:54 +08:00
2021-07-21 21:38:51 +08:00
## Hui's steps
2021-10-24 13:39:00 +08:00
I spent about two hours installing LRR to a bare, remote Ubuntu server (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).
2021-07-21 21:38:51 +08:00
2021-07-21 21:45:23 +08:00
LRR needs Apache and MySQL to run. I followed [How To Install Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) stack on Ubuntu 20.04 ](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04 ) to set up these server applications.
2021-07-21 21:38:51 +08:00
2021-10-24 13:39:00 +08:00
LRR uses a database called `lrr` . I need to export the existing `lrr` to a plain text file (including many sql commands) and import that text file to the newly created `lrr` database on the new server.
2021-07-21 21:38:51 +08:00
The command for exporting the database is `mysqldump -u mnc -p lrr > lrr_database_dump.txt` .
2021-07-21 21:45:23 +08:00
The command for importing is `mysql -u mnc -p lrr < lrr_database_dump.txt` . Read [How to Import and Export MySQL Databases in Linux ](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/import-and-export-mysql-database ) for more detail.
2021-07-21 21:38:51 +08:00
2021-07-21 21:45:23 +08:00
LRR also needs to store assignment submissions. We store them in a folder called `../../lrr_submission` . Note that `lrr_submission` is two levels above the project folder (where many PHP files reside). I copied this folder from the existing one. I think it is also OK if you create an empty folder.
2021-07-21 21:38:51 +08:00
We need to set a proper owner and accessibility for `lrr_submission` using the following two commands:
2021-10-18 21:39:16 +08:00
`sudo chown -R www-data:www-data lrr_submission` and `sudo chmod -R g+rw lrr_submission` . Also, remember to change the user name and password in `lrr_submission/KeepItSafe.txt` for the database connection.
2021-07-21 21:38:51 +08:00
The above steps are preparation work. Now we could clone the LRR's repository to `/var/www/html/` .
Rename LRR to lrr. Change the owner of lrr: `sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/lrr` . Edit apache configure file: `sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/lrr.conf` .
< VirtualHost * :80 >
ServerName lrr
ServerAlias www.lrr.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/lrr
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
< / VirtualHost >
Enable the site lrr: `sudo a2ensite lrr` . Restart the apache server: `sudo systemctl reload apache2` .
2021-07-21 21:45:23 +08:00
Visit the LRR application by entering this URL in a web browser: http://121.4.94.30/.
2021-07-21 21:38:51 +08:00
## Enock's steps
2021-10-24 13:39:00 +08:00
Enock, a graduate student here, has made a tutorial about how he deployed LRR to a remote server (http://lanlab.org/course/2021s/spm/PuTTY-Server.txt).

# Current Status
2020-03-22 19:26:54 +08:00
2020-03-31 22:00:13 +08:00
This software has been actively used by students who took or are
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
taking courses taught by Hui, e.g., Introduction to Software
Engineering, Introduction to Object-oriented analysis and design,
Advanced Software Engineering, Software Architecture, and Software
Project Management.
2020-03-22 19:26:54 +08:00
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
There are more than 500 student accounts created since its first
2020-03-31 22:00:13 +08:00
launch in 2018.
2020-03-22 19:26:54 +08:00
2020-03-31 22:00:13 +08:00
A running instance of this software is at http://118.25.96.118/nor/
There are about 40 bugs (most being CRITICAL) that remain unresolved
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
before LRR can hit its Beta release. See the section *The Bug
Tracker* for more detail. Currently, there are a few students who are
taking my Advanced Software Engineering course) working on these bugs.
2020-03-22 19:26:54 +08:00
# The Bug Tracker
2020-03-31 22:08:11 +08:00
We use Bugzilla to track LRR's bugs and feature requests.
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
Most bugs are [recorded on Bugzilla ](http://118.25.96.118/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__all__&list_id=1319&order=Importance&product=Lab%20Report%20Repository%20%28nor%20houzi%29&query_format=specific ).

# How to Contribute
2020-03-22 19:41:55 +08:00
2020-03-31 22:00:13 +08:00
We welcome your participation in this project.
2020-03-22 19:41:55 +08:00
2020-03-31 22:00:13 +08:00
Your participation does not have to be in the form of contributing code. You could help us on
ideas, suggestions, documentation, etc.
2020-03-22 20:44:55 +08:00
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
You can fork this project and start working on your fork. After you are done, please create a pull request so that we could review your changes and give you feedback.
2020-03-22 20:44:55 +08:00
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
You will use the feature-branching workflow (see below).
The main point of this workflow is
that you work on a branch on your local drive, push that branch to a remote
repository, and create a Pull Request (i.e., Pull Me Request) at
for other people to review your changes. If everything is
2020-03-31 22:11:13 +08:00
OK, then *someone* could merge your changes to the master branch in the
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
central repository.
2020-03-22 20:53:11 +08:00
2020-03-31 22:11:13 +08:00
I believe that *code review* at the Pull Request stage is important
for both improving code quality and improving team quality.
2020-03-31 22:00:13 +08:00
## The Feature-branching Workflow
We will use the feature-branching workflow for collaboration. The
2020-03-31 22:11:54 +08:00
idea is that you make your own branch, work on it, and push this branch to
2021-10-24 13:32:03 +08:00
the remote, online repository for code review.
2020-03-31 22:00:13 +08:00

1. Q: The web application's front page does not show properly, i.e., elements are not well aligned.
2021-07-21 21:58:19 +08:00
A: You missed two folders `css` and `font-awesome` . These folders include third-party js or css files and therefore are not included.
