Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Does AOLserver 3.0 require .tcl style startup file?

Actually I have the ACS installed and "working", so AOLserver is talking to postgreSQL (main,subquery,log) and Interbase with no problem. The problem seems to come in when AOLserver needs a value which is set in parameters/ad.ini. If the .ini file has, for instance EnabledP=1, and some tcl code asks if {[ad_parameter EnabledP sectionname]} ..., I get an error like 'expected boolean but got "" '. So I must be making a basic mistake here (Do I have AuxConfigDir set correctly? Does the file need to be in .tcl format?).
