Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Starting the ACS

Collapse
Posted by Smooth Operator2 on
I have not installed ACS because I am waiting for the security update, but I went and ahead and installed AOL server (first "make"; then "make install" as root), and did not see any error messages.  I am currently running apache, so after that was done, I typed the following command, as given in the documentation:

set host t2mn.com
set httpport 80

No error messages.  In /aolserver/aolserver3_0/ I typed the following:

nsd -t nsd.tcl -u mynonrootusername

and got the following:

bash: nsd: command not found

so I tried:

./nsd -t nsd.tcl -u nguarner

and got the following:

bash: ./nsd: is a directory

I then typed the following:

./bin/nsd8x -ft ./nsd.tcl

and got the following:

bash: ./bin/nsd8x: No such file or directory

O.K. now I feel like a retard.  The documentation that came in the installation archive talks about "extensive online documentation" at the AOLServer site but I could not find anything, just kinda went around in circles.

How do I:

1. get it running in place of Apache
2. test to make sure that it is AOLServer running my pages and not Apache
3. test to make sure it is working O.K.
4. make it to where AOLServer permanently caches my little web site (estimated 30 to 50 megabytes for pages, thumbnails, and medium-sized pictures) within the 256 megabytes of RAM that no one is using.

I know you people are very busy but any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated.
