Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Starting the ACS

Ok, for the latest version of AOLserver (3.0rc1), here's what you need to do:

In your nsd.tcl file make sure your pageroot is set to where the ACS web files are. My setting looks like this...

set pageroot               /web/angels_web/www
Then as far as auxconfigdir parameters, make sure the variable server is set. Again here's my setting...

set server                 "angels_web"

Make sure to replace the names I used with whatever your server name is 😊 You have to set this variable because it's used later. Under ns_section "ns/parameters add the following...
ns_param   auxconfigdir     "/web/${server}/parameters"

My whole ns/parameters section looks like this...

ns_section "ns/parameters"
ns_param   home             $home
ns_param   auxconfigdir     "/web/${server}/parameters"

There's many other options, but those are the only two in the ns/parameters section that you need to get started. Then in your parameter directory, just make sure that your .ini file has the same name as your service name. So if your service name is "free_love" then your .ini file should be "free_love.ini"

If anyone would like to see my working nsd.tcl file, feel free to take a look.

Hope this helps.
