Very cool, Peter. Is this a complete out-of-the-box installation or did you get the packages installed on top of a plain openacs instance?

<p>Jarkko - as to the installation: you definitely need to install the process as described in INSTALL. All else: you'll run into unexpected problems.

Dirk: Yeah, I know Peter is fast but I was wondering (with a considerable doubt :) if he was so fast that he got the thingie openacs-compatible overnight.

The install instructions require a file called "site-wide-search-setup.sql" which is missing from the distribution. Any chance of making it available?

Andrei,

Peter cut out a lot of useless packages *and* changed the INSTALL document. Unfortunately he removed some important stuff and put in references to non-existing stuff. Download this version and follow its INSTALL instructions.

Err, another *very* important explanation now missing is how to set up a templating staging server...

Plus you *must+ create the directories

  • /web/<webserverroot>/library-files
  • /web/<webserverroot>/bboard-files
  • /web/<webserverroot>/news-files

... and the monitoring package has disappeared from the tarball.

... and please always check whether pathnames are correct (look up the proper INSTALL doc) - they default to Solaris ! and the pathnames to perl etc there are annoyingly different.

Needless to say, you also need GnuPlot and GraphViz otherwise the workflow module is not going to work properly.

Dirk,

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tips in the next messages as well.
