To expand on what Roberto was saying, here's a few AOLserver 3rc1 commands. Most are in the AOLserver documentation, but they've also left out a few things (like how to turn on Tcl pages).
The following commands assume that you're in the AOLserver directory.
Start the server in the foreground
./bin/nsd8x -ft ./nsd.tcl
Hit control-c to kill the server after starting in foreground.
Start the server in background
./bin/nsd8x -t ./nsd.tcl
Stop the server
./bin/nsd8x -Kt ./nsd.tcl
Then to enable Tcl pages, and prevent them from being served as text, under ns_section "ns/server/${server}"
add...
ns_param enabletclpages on
Lastly, AOLserver 3rc1, will not run as root. So to get the server running on port 80, you need to specify a user when starting. Just add argument -u nsadmin
(or whatever user) to the normal start command. You end up with...
./bin/nsd8x -t ./nsd.tcl -u nsadmin
That should do it...hopefully this will make getting started a little easier.
