Well, I've spent a lot of time playing with different ways of installaing the combination of postgresql/aolserver/openacs. I have been able to install them multiple times including the "Project Open" distribution. I think I got some feel now how things work.
What bugs me now is that not a sigle installation is a fully working bugfree installation. Not counting the apm package links that point to nonexistant repository on openacs.org, there is always a problem with several software packages that either refuse to install or bomb out with SQL/TCL errors when I try to use them. Even the default installation of vmware version of Project Open is broken right from the start.
Question then -- is there a good known way to install packages that works error free? Is there a way to install a bare bones version of OpenACS that I can start adding packages to and test each one if it works?
Is there anything that just works? ;)
