1: how do I install developer support?
Posted by Matthew Smith on 05/14/08 11:08 PM
I would like to install developer support on my openacs instance. If I go to install software > install from repository, it is not listed. If I click on "OpenACS.org repository", it is listed under 5.4, but there is no link to download it. How do I get it?

Thank you.

Click on Install from repository, then click the "Services" link. Check off "Developer Support" and click the "Download" button at the bottom of the page.

The package will be available at http://YOURSERVER/ds/

Yep, it was right there under services. However I didn't have the option to download, only to "install or upgrade checked applications". However, once I tried to install I got an error. Please see my other post for more information:

Thank you for the help.

Hi Mathew,

What I usually do is go to my 'packages' directory of my instance and run this:

cvs -d:pserver:mailto:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-4 acs-developer-support

Then, go to http://yourinstance/acs-admin/apm > click on 'install packages' > select developer support > install and after the whole process, bounce your instance.

Hope that helps

I wanted to try your method because the standard way is causing an error. Unfortunately, I am behind a firewall and I think that is blocking the connection. This is what I get when I try your method:
[packages]$ cvs -d:pserver:mailto:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-4 acs-developer-support
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to [cvs.openacs.org]:2401 failed: Connection timed out

Is there any other way to do this?

Thank you for the help.
