Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: error while installing developer support service

I tried doing as you suggested with what I think are the proper directories:

/var/lib/aolserver/dodss-cleat/bin/nsd -u smith -g web -t /var/lib/aolserver/dodss-cleat/etc/config.tcl

But got:
-bash: /var/lib/aolserver/dodss-cleat/bin/nsd: No such file or directory

There are multiple instances of open acs on the server, would that make a difference?

No, nsd is not at OpenACS' bin path but AOLserver's. It might be somewhere like /usr/lib/aolserver4/bin/nsd or /usr/local/lib/aolserver4/bin/nsd.

If there are other instances running, you can do a "ps aufx" to see how they were started.

There is no bin directory under aolserver.

/var/lib/aolserver

Where else should I look?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just not familiar with the directory structure...

I tried the ps aufx command which gave me a ton of stuff I didn't understand, but I did find an entry that might be relevant. So I tried:
/usr/local/aolserver4/bin/nsd -u smith -g web -t /var/lib/aolserver/dodss-cleat/etc/config.tcl

Which gave me:
[15/May/2008:11:30:06][1593.3086657216][-main-] Notice: nsd.tcl: starting to read config file...
[15/May/2008:11:30:06][1593.3086657216][-main-] Notice: nsd.tcl: using threadsafe tcl: 1

Site is still not up.

It might be easier to explain on irc (#openacs @ freenode.net) and better for the forum. If you can't access it due to firewall restrictions, try any web based client like www.mibbit.com or such.
