Just did a fresh install after not having touched
infrastructure for a few years, seems like as good a place
as any to do a brain dump, should it be useful to Chris or
anyone else 😊

-- When making modules
-- Set both NSHOME and AOLSERVER to the installdir
-- Remember to set ACS=1 when making nspostgres
-- Oracle 11g
-- nsoracle: HEAD of CVS at Sourceforge
-- Set these manually in Makefile...autodetection doesn't work
-- OCI_VERSION=11.1
-- OCI_MAJOR_VERSION=11
-- Postgres 8.3
-- tsearch2 is integrated, no need to install it
unless you're migrating in an existing pre 8.3. db.
-- if you're migrating in a pre pg8.3 openacs, you need
to define this
create or replace function bitfromint4 (integer)
returns bit varying as '
begin
return $1::bit(32);
end;' language 'plpgsql' immutable strict;
-- Other random stuff
-- If want to run behind a reverse proxy, e.g. apache, and
you're running on something other than port 80, older
versions of openacs (and newer?), util_current_location
needs a patch to support the "apparent port" which may be
different from the port aolserver is listening on:
