Forum OpenACS Q&A: Problem in /admin/users/action-choose.tcl

1: Problem in /admin/users/action-choose.tcl

Posted by Ryan Junk on 10/27/00 06:40 AM

I've got openACS up and running (for the most part) on LinuxPPC 2000.
Using Postgres 7.0.2, and the latest AOLServer (built from source)
from their website. I can register users, and log in as a user, but
whenever I try to administer users from the admin pages, I get a
Server Error. From the log, it seems like some query in
action-choose.tcl is failing:

select a.attname, t.typname from pg_class...

The failure reads getattproperties: no attribute tuple 1259 -2

I am no kind of postgres wizard, and so can't grok that at all. Help?

FWIW, it seems that various queries are failing with this same getattproperties error... I could not add a classified ad, for instance, and there was one other thing which I can't remember at the moment. It seems, then, to be some kind of a postgres problem. Running these queries from psql returns the same error as reported in the log (no attribute tuple) although every column in the queries does exist.

Argh.
