My installation references started with the OpenACS-5.4.2 Administrator's Guide. I also referenced a number of forum and wiki postings, including the two you listed above. Below is a list of some other references I used:

https://openacs.org/wiki/Installing%20OpenACS%20on%20Debian%20Linux

https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=331130

https://openacs.org/xowiki/How_to_install_in_Postgres_8.x

https://openacs.org/xowiki/pages/en/.LRN+Installation#install-cvs used in combination with "Chapter 11. Engineering Standards: CVS Guidelines" from the OpenACS-5.4.2 Administrators Guide located in /var/lib/aolserver4/service0/packages/acs-core-docs/www/eng-standards.html

I looked at many more references, but the ones above are the most notable. I summarized my installation (based on the sources above) in an 8-page document, which I'm happy to share. I just need to know how one goes about sharing documents in this forum, since there is no file attachment capability.

Can you point me to any documentation that illustrates the OpenACS directory tree, including symlink relationships?

A directory tree would be extremely helpful for me (and likely others) to understand the relationship between OpenACS, Aolserver, PostgreSQL, and Linux. This would enable one to then infer the differences between different Linux installations.

A directory tree would also address the last sentence in your post -- "The openacs-4 directory from cvs needs to be placed in different places, depending on the directions you're following, mainly to adapt to variations in distribution standards (and installation preferences) etc."

Thanks... Jim
