Hi Petru.
Good luck in your endeavor. I am glad someone will continue the development of mod_aolserver.
You asked me about changes to be made for mod_aolserver.
I am currently running apache 1.3.19 and openacs 3.2.4, postgres7.0, mod_aolserver1.1.
One question I have is about compatibility with openacs4.x or acs4.x will mod_aolserver continue to work just the same for 4.x?
A positive note, I am able to run 1 instance of openacs as a virtual host as well as multiple "ordinary" virtual hosts. So it seems that mod_aolserver does not affect virtual hosting. (I'm posting to: https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=19544 after sending this)
I have not yet done a lot of experimentation, but I can give you a short list.
I don't know if it is a specific issue with mod_aolserver, but the two things I have noticed are problems with displaying images. (And it does seem that people not using mod_aolserver do not have the same problems.)
First there is a problem with displaying local images, such as those in acsroot/doc/prototype.html
In acsroot/parameters/server.ini, if I set:
ns_param EnableAbstractURLsP 1
the images do not appear, just broken links.
Then I set:
ns_param EnableAbstractURLsP 0
and restart the apache, the images appear.
The second problem is with "remote" images (img src=http://somwhere-else)
For instance, in the chat module the image:
http://photo.net/photo/pcd0865/rachel-mouth-3.tcl
appears fine when I first load the page.
When I type some text and click submit, the image does not appear, but shows a broken link.
This occurs regardless of the setting of EnableAbstractURLsP.
Hope that's helpful,
Os
