Forum OpenACS Development: openacs 5.0beta & Forums

Collapse
Posted by Chris Davies on
I installed openacs 5.0 beta, installed forums, mounted it, created two forums, and went to do a test post and received some message about dotlrn::permissions or something.  So, I tried to delete the package,where it dies with some foreign key constraint error.  I finally got that worked out, and tried again to delete the package so I could install the forums package from CVS.

Even though the package was deleted, it does show up in the mount packages select widget -- but, doesn't show up under the Unmounted Packages section.

Of course, mounting it results in a number of errors because the create scripts don't run.

How do I delete this package from OpenACS so that I can reinstall the CVS version?

Chris,

If the APM reports that the package is still installed, you can remove it without running the drop scripts. Doing this should allow it to be reinstalled.

I think the problem occurred because I had a postgresql db that I had created with 5.0a, and installed 5.0b over top.

drop database and reinstall worked fine.
