Hi,
I have been looking for a community software for a long time,
and I've been reading the forums for a few months.
We really like OpenACS, and I think it is (by far) the best solution
for our needs.
We just installed OpenACS 3.2.5 with PostgreSQL 7.12 and
AOLServer 3.12+ad patch on a FreeBSD 4.2 server.
The URL to the first community on the server is:
http://www.godserver.com:7000/
I am having quite a few problems though, and I would really
appreciate if anybody could help me working them out.
I searched the forums both here than at arsdigita.com, but I
could not find a solution.
My intent is to compile a document with the solutions, and post it
here and on our main site.
We are having a few problems, but I would like to start with a
major one.
*1*
When a member of the community posts a very long article
anywhere:
in the news http://godserver.com:7000/news/ or
in the neighbor section http://godserver.com:7000/neighbor/
the preview of the post looks fine, but when the article goes live,
it gets cut off.
See for example:
http://godserver.com:7000/neighbor/view-one.tcl?neighbor_to_n
eighbor_id=11
I suspect the problem does not come form an OpenACS "bug",
but from a PostgreSQL issue.

Categories
Adding a new category:
http://godserver.com:7000/admin/categories/category-add.tcl
from the admin account does not work.
If, for example, I add the category "test", with the new Category
Type 'test", I get a new page with a weird pulldown menu
Category type:
<th align=right>Category type</th>
<td>
<select name=category_type>
<option selected>H?v`H?vR°?¶
$yb?ew_category_type=test
</select>
you can see this here:
http://godserver.com:7000/admin/categories/index.tcl
It seems that something gets corrupted when trying to add
categories.
*3*
Classifieds
I cannot add a new domain:
If I try to add a new domain
http://godserver.com:7000/admin/gc/domain-add.tcl
I choose a name, and assign myself as the primary
administrator (using my registered e-mail address: mailto:igb@igb.net)
I get a new page with this URL (very long);
http://godserver.com:7000/admin/gc/domain-add-2.tcl?domain_i
d=12&full_noun=test&domain=test&user_id_from_search=3&fir
st_names_from_search=Mario%20P%2e&last_name_from_se
arch=Bontempi&email_from_search=igb%40igb%2enet
which gives the following error:
Server Error
The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error
on this server.
How can I fix these problems?
Please, help us.
I can send the admin login via private mail, if needed.
Thank you very much
Mario P. Bontempi
