1: "preauth filter blew up" on initial localhost:8000 ?
Posted by Jimmy Yee on 01/13/01 12:18 AM
Using redhat 6.2.
Ran install.sh(got some warnings about type but didn't bomb out).
Postgresql started fine.
Apache started fine.
Started netscape did localhost:8000.
Got following error:

preauth filter blew up --- backtrace follows:
Critical filter sec_read_security_info failed.
    while executing
"error "Critical filter $proc failed.""
    (procedure "ad_handle_filter" line 47)
    invoked from within
"ad_handle_filter {} preauth"Critical filter
sec_read_security_info failed.
    while executing
"error "Critical filter $proc failed.""
    (procedure "ad_handle_filter" line 47)
    invoked from within
"ad_handle_filter {} preauth"

any ideas???

Found my own problem. Was more fundamental. Had an older version of Postgresql with old db format. So, install did no data loads.

Hi-

what ended up being your solution?  I have a similar problem:

https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=17510

I had an old PG install too, but i deleted everything that i could find... and started over... same problem.  i have hunch that the data model didnt get loaded?  the install only tool 3 minutes... that seems too fast...  any help would be greatly appreciated...

thank you

I too have the problem.

I don't know the solution, though.
