Forum OpenACS Q&A: install problems on RH7.0

I am not sure if the problem is due to RH. It is like I have missed a whole page of documentation:
1. Installed aolserver3.3.1
2. Postgres with: postgresql-base-7.1.tar.gz
3. openacs-3.2.4 (I downloaded it 2 days ago, I will download de new one today)
I loaded de data model... no errors. when I register no errors. when I try to assign a site-wide admin, I get "Attribute 'group_name' not found". So I decided to go back and remembered about the acceptance test. I didn't find in your documentation how to change the date problem and other things like the
nls_date_format = "YYYY-MM-DD"
Does openACS have its own acceptance test, or everything is like in ACS? I have tried the first 2 from Oracle's acceptance tests and failed both.
What did I miss? thanks

Thanks Don,

I did as you said and installed 3.2.5. dbdrop'ed the DB, created it again, loaded the data-models...
I start aolserver with no error messages, but...
when I try to register it doesn't work. In the aolserver log I have the bunch of notices as bellow and go to the same page. Is this a bug in 3.2.5 or my installation?

Ok, calm down. We'll help you :)
The NSCP problem is most likely something missing in your AOLserver config file. Did you use our sample config file as described in the documentation?

We tested the installation of 3.2.5 and it works. I just did a fresh install on PG 7.1 and it works just fine. No errors whatsoever after loading the datamodel (except for two errors where a function is DROPed before being created, but that's not an error). Logins work perfectly.

Did you load the geo-tables before loading your datamodel? Go back and walk through the installation guide. There's got to be something you missed.

Hello Rafael,

I didn't install openacs 3.2.5 on pg 7.1 yet, but if you want to switch to RH 7.1 you might want to read the following thread. Especially what Jon Griffin wrote on 2.4.x Kernels.

Why would RH affect the results in such a way?.

when I start nsd, nscp is loaded fine. Later on (another instance of nsd) it is not loaded, getting:

Error: nscp: could not listen on 127.0.0.1:9999

this seems more like a configuration problem.
I tried logging to port 9999 from the shell and logging/passwd is OK.

I noticed I had a warning for not installing nsssl, so I comented those lines in nsd, as it seems from the documentation that it is not required, and I am not palning to use ssl yet 😟.
