Forum OpenACS Q&A: nsunix/nsvhr again

I followed (without patching) the configuration Method One: nsvhr/nsunix in Method One:nsvhr/nsunix in www.hollyjerry.org:16080 ...
I'm using aolserver_3.2_ad12, using OpenACS www.ewayweb.net:80, ciao:8080 and master:8001 (every site has its own configuration file)
When I attempt to start the master (ex: ./bin/nsd -kt master.tcl) I get the message:

Fatal: nsmain: no server specified: specify '-s' parameter or
specify ns/servers in config file

due to the section:($server is master)

ns_section "ns/servers" 
        ns_param   $server     $servername 
        ns_param   ewayweb-dev "ewayweb-dev"
        ns_param   ciao        "ciao ciao" 

I added the section

ns_section "ns/server/${server}/module/nsunix" 
ns_param   hostname     $hostname 
ns_param   socketfile   "${hostname}.nsunix"

in both ciao.tcl and ewayweb.tcl configuration files.
Maybe I'm missing something in configurations.. or I need to patch ?
Somebody knows if there is explicit howto or documentation for aolserver_3.2_ad12?

Great!! Thanks Jamie... it was only one of my last two days problem 😊
Now...
first: for master I don't installed openacs (I think it's rigth(?))
second: I configured ciao, www.ewayweb.net and master in my client's /etc/hosts to same address (192.168.198.7)
Then master:8001, ciao:8080 and www.ewayweb.net:80 each one serve me its home page.
I thougth that
if I request ciao:8001 then I'd have the same page of ciao:8080
so
if I request www.ewayweb.net:8001 then I'd have the same page of www.ewayweb.net:80
In fact I have the page master:8001
What's wrong.
tahnks.

did ad merge in Jerry's nsunix patches, then?

Is aolserver3_rc2_vhr.tar the rigth patch even for olserver_3.2_ad12?

Using nsvhr/nssock methot and indipendent file for each server involved, what's the rigth configuration for master? for session:

ns_section "ns/server/${server}/modules" 
ns_param   nssock          ${bindir}/nssock.so 
ns_param   nslog            ${bindir}/nslog.so 
ns_param   nsperm          ${bindir}/nsperm.so 
ns_param   nscgi           ${bindir}/nscgi.so 
ns_param   nsvhr        ${bindir}/nsvhr.so

If I have to use the nssock module then I have to confgure the session, otherwise by default the master run on 127.0.0.1:80, so:

# 
# Socket driver module (HTTP)  -- nssock 
# 
  ns_section "ns/server/${server}/module/nssock" 
  ns_param   port         $httpport 
  ns_param   hostname     $hostname 
  ns_param   address      $address

The log's master says:

...
Notice: nsvhr: redirecting: host: ciao -> tcp://ciao:8080
Notice: nsvhr: redirecting: host: ciao:8080 -> tcp://ciao:8080
...

If I ask for ciao:8080 it's ok, but when I ask for ciao then the response come from master (where I disabled the pageroot):

The requested URL was not found on this server.
AOLserver/3.2+ad12 on http://master

yes, I run thre servers: master, ciao, www.ewayweb.net
The "ciao" and "www.ewayweb.net" configuration files are two that differs in name and port (8001 and 8080) only and they are configures as they work indipendently whithout any modification (no nsvhr module)
in ciao.tcl
httport=8080, hostname=ciao
in dev-ewayweb.tcl
httport=8001, hostname=www.ewayweb.net

 ns_section "ns/server/${server}/module/nssock" 
          ns_param   port         $httpport 
          ns_param   hostname     $hostname  
          ns_param   address      $address

How is www.ewayweb.net working?  Is this a problem you are having with all of your nsvhr sites, or just with ciao?

Is ciao to be addressable internet wide, or only from your LAN?  (What is it's full domain name, and is there some reason it is listed in the map as ciao, and not say, as ciao.ewayweb.net?)

Have you disabled adp and fastpath in the master?

When I connect to your site via telnet to port 80 and request GET / but give a HOST: field of CIAO, I get a 302 redirect to 8001.  When I request a HOST: field of VIRUS, I get a 302 redirect to 8001.  Both of those are wrong.  CIAO should give me your CIAO homepage, and VIRUS should give me a 404.

Also I note I can't connect to your 8080 port.  Is there a firewall in the way?  (Can you open that?)

Perhaps you should post (or give a link to) your config files.

Is there in some place the three configuration example files for virtual hosting with nssock/nshvr?
For example, I have www.zzz.aaa.com on port 8001, www.xxx.aaa.com on port 8080 and master yyy.aaa.com on port 80, how should I configure

• zzz.tcl (site on port 8001)
• xxx.tcl (site on port 8080)
• yyy.tcl (the master on port 80)

Thanks
