Collapse
Posted by max sekar on
Hi, I installed OpenACS 3.2.5 on Mandrake 7.2.
Step-by-step:
  • Custom install of Mandrake 7.2 without PostgreSQL or Apache.
  • Install all RPMs of PostgreSQL 7.1 from http://www.ca.postgresql.org/ftpsite/binary/v7.1-Mandrake/ site by downloading all RPMs and rpm -ivh p*.rpm from that directory.
  • Install libxml2 from http://www.xc.org/jonathan/openacs/libxml2-2.3.7-1.i386.rpm using rpm -ivh --nodeps --force libxml2-2.3.7-1.i386.rpm.
  • Download the AOLServer and the database driver from http://www.xc.org/jonathan/openacs/aolserver-3.2-4+ad12+nsxml.i386.rpm and http://www.xc.org/jonathan/openacs/aolserver-postgresql-2.3-1.cvs.20010425.i386.rpm. Install with rpm -ivh aolserver*.rpm.
  • Get OpenACS from http://www.xc.org/jonathan/openacs/openacs-3.2.5-2.noarch.rpm and install with rpm -ivh openacs*.rpm.
  • Browse to http://localhost:8000/
      That's about it for installation. A big thanks to Jonathan Marsden for making it this easy and painless!!
