Hi,
We had similar problems and we fixed them doing the
following:
<blockquote>Some problems I came across:
A problem are the usage of *nix commands like gunzip and
others in OpenACS. This breaks stuff like APM and
file-storage.
</blockquote>
We used gzip for Win32 (
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm ) and just
changed the path/executable parameter in the site-map.
<blockquote>Everytime I install a package I am asked to enter the
password of postgres for each *-create.sql in the shell.
</blockquote>
Are you running the 'nsd' without '-f' flag?
<blockquote>I installed xowiki (required several packages like
acs-datetime, acs-event, xotcl-core, rss-support,
file-storage, oacs-dav, categories, general-comments...).
After restart oacs is broken. Apparently xotcl 1.6.0 is not
loaded. Any idea why?
</blockquote>
Check if XOTcl works in the tclsh (it should be there). If
you run a 'package require XOTcl' you should get the version
number. Then, add the 'package require XOTcl' at the
beginning of the library that is trying to run XOTcl.
<blockquote>Usage of developer support crashes nsd. No idea why.
</blockquote>
This is because this version of Aolserver has some problems
with the time&date function: ns_fmttime. I guess this
function is not supported in Windows. You might need to
replace all the occurrences of this function by 'clock' in
the oacs code sice it will crash in other places if you
don't change that.
Hope that helps!
Cheers
