Heya Kevin...

The error indicates the problem is our fault... we -still- haven't fixed our content_type__drop_type() call... I keep thinking we did; this is at least a 4-year old problem. I'll be back here to provide a fix you can apply to your installation.

Meanwhile, you can continue the tutorial as you pretend the drop script works. You'll want to see if tcl is your cup of tea as well, there's a "tcl for web nerds" somewhere on the net.

I'm sorry for taking so long to reply to this. I had OpenACS installed
under FreeBSD which was running under VMWare. My FreeBSD VMWare
installation got sacrificed when I ran short on drive space. But, I now
have it and OpenACS reinstalled so I'm back to working my way through
the tutorial.

Was the above mentioned fix ever posted? If so, I missed it.

Will do. I might have a few more questions shortly.

P.S. I tried to reply to this via e-mail but it bounced back with a 553 No such user error.

(To Moderator: Hi... Could someone edit the above post to replace my email addr with my name? thanks :)

I put some diffs that might still work in 5.3.1 here:
