1: 'fatal: nsmain: no server specified'

Hello everybody,
After installing Aolserver (and Openacs, and PostgreSQL, and
pgdriver) and running $ ./bin/nsd -kt nsd.tcl I get the above error.
It must be something really simple to solve, but I did edit the
nsd.tcl file and specified a server, servername etc.

I would not ask you if I hadn't been trying for more than a day to
solve this. Thanks for your reply!

Well, it could be a problem with your aolserver, what I mean is that you have your directories like:
/bin/
/log/
/modules/
and then you have this:
/servers/
inside you should have the name of your specific server,
/servers/yourservername/
and inside it needs to have
the same files/directories thas has the server1/ (this is the default)

I hope this will help!

Thank you!

When installing, I renamed /home/aolserver/servers/server1 to .../timedesk, which is the servername I want to use.

In it are /modules (containing /nslog and /nsperm) and /pages, which contains index.html. (I have been wondering before if I simply wasn't missing anything there, but what would that be?)
