Forum OpenACS Q&A: Downloading AOLserver

Posted by Robert Gaszewski on 02/08/01 01:59 PM

Hi.

I have problem with AOLserver downloading.
I'm not able to download aolserver source file + patches (v3.2 +
ad12) from arsdigita.com because of slow and often broken connections.
There is aolserver 3.2.4 source on aolserver.com, but unfortunately,
without any arsdigita patches.

Does anybody know alternative url of this (aolserver v3.2 + ad12)
file?

Thank you for the help.

Robert,

I can email you a copy of AOLserver3.2ad12 source version if you like.

Many people have had the same problem downloading from aD including myself. Strange that no solution has been found to this issue for so many months.

Hi Ola.

Thank you for your answer.

Could you send me this file via email?

Sure, if I only figured out how to split the file into smaller chunks as the file is to big and bounces...

I'm doing a little studying of the "tar" man page😊

OK Robert, I managed to split the big tarball into four smaller ones. Hopefully you know how to extract them as one or in succession, because I don't😟
They are now named:
aolserver32ad12.tar.gzaa
aolserver32ad12.tar.gzab
aolserver32ad12.tar.gzac
aolserver32ad12.tar.gzad

..as I made 1 Mb pieces.
Do you still want me to send this?

PS. If you know how to concatenate theese please tell me how it's done. I'll try to find an answer somewhere...

Thanks,

Hi Ola.

I know the answer ...

To assemble splitted files just make:

cat aolserver32ad12.tar.gzaa > aolserver32ad12.tar.gz

cat aolserver32ad12.tar.gzab >> aolserver32ad12.tar.gz #mind the >>

cat aolserver32ad12.tar.gzac >> aolserver32ad12.tar.gz

cat aolserver32ad12.tar.gzad >> aolserver32ad12.tar.gz

... Naturally I still want to get aolserver source :)

Thanks in advance.

I found better answer:

cat aolserver32ad12.tar.gzaa aolserver32ad12.tar.gzab aolserver32ad12.tar.gzac aolserver32ad12.tar.gzad > aolserver32ad12.tar.gz
