Forum OpenACS Q&A: OpenACS -- Requst for help with an Error Message

Hi,

I just installed OpenACS 3.2.2 with AOLServer 3.0, Postgres 7.0.2 with
Red Hat Linux 6.2, and at first, I though it was working, but
encountering a "Server Error" when I try to get to the Admin pages.
Everything else "seems" to work, and I can add myself as a user and
view my Workspace.

Here's the message from the server log, but I have no idea what this
means.  Can anyone please help me?  I'd greatly greatly appreciate it.
Let me know if you need more information.  Many thanks in advance! I'd
like to figure out what is going on and get this system working.

There have been several reports of problems with pull-down menus.  See https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=15983, or do a search on pdm for more details.
Dan,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!  And I'm very grateful and happy. I made a change in the config file for the pull down menus, and that fixed it!
