Dear Gustaf,

Thanks for your reply...

I have checked the /usr/local/aolserver/modules/tcl directory - form.tcl has been installed correctly as shown below:

In fact there is ns_getform in /var/lib/aolserver/schoolacs/packages/acs-bootstrap-installer/installer/index.tcl.
Line # 302 as shown in the log file does not contain any reference to ns_getform

On futher investigation index.tcl is being sourced from installer.tcl through apm_source proc in 30-apm-load-procs

I noticed that I have commented the Javascript section in the etc/config.tcl , however on seeing that Javascript is being loaded in the index.tcl (i,e. aroun line # 302) , have removed the comments.

I have checked the path and it seems to be fine ...
schoolacs@hpdv6:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/local/aolserver:/usr/local/aolserver/modules/tcl:/var/lib/aolserver/schoolacs:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

I am working on it further though ns_getform still a puzzle....

On second thought do you think it as a wise a idea to set up the data model through acs-kernal-create.sql and try to fire up the OpenAcs...

Regards,

Gunalan

Maybe you have multiple aolservers on your system, and the one in question does not have this directory.

Concerning ns_getfrom:
/var/lib/aolserver/schoolacs/packages/acs-bootstrap-installer/installer/index.tcl calls ad_page_contract (first line). The definition of ad_page_contract uses ns_getform, which causes the error message.

Javascript is not related to the problem.

by paths, i was referring to the tcl load paths (which can be altered by the environment variable TCLLIBPATH, you should not do that), Check from Tcl the variable $::auto_path (e.g. in the index.tcl file, write out ns_log notice "auto_path $::auto_path".
