Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Aolserver 4.0 with Postgres 7.2 , invalid command name "ns_db"

MANY thanks for the tip, which I put to use: I'd put      "ns_param  nsdb              ${bindir}/nsdb.so"
in the wrong place, so now the program finds the database and runs with it, loading lots of openacs and dotlrn but with hundreds of queries and a final, concluding flurry of error messages.  So, we're making progress.

I'm hoping I might ask you and others for a quick review of these errors and my code as my partner and I are near our wits end.  I'll first list the errors, then the frontend.tcl and backend.tcl codes.  Many thanks for any advice you might offer!
