I would like to report a few minor problems with your beta debian package (which I could solve)
and a major one (for which I have no clue):
1. At the end of the installation when a dialog box asks for setting security settings for the database user in the postgres
pg_hba.conf configuration file the command:
su - postgres -s /bin/sh -c "createlang plpgsql dotlrn"
fails because the dotlrn database was not created.
I solved the problem issuing the command: su - postgres createdb dotlrn
2. In the same dialog box the command to "restart the .LRN server with the following command /etc/init.d/dotlrn restart "
fails because there are a few errors in the /etc/init.d/dotlrn script :
the DAEMON variable is incorrect, it should be: DAEMON=/usr/sbin/aolserver4-nsd (instead of /usr/sbin/nsd);
the ADDRESS and PORT variables do not reflect previous user settings and remain at the standard localhost and 80 values
After these corrections the aolserver is started OK and the OpenACS browser based installation proceeds OK.
The unsolved problem:
At the end of the browser based OpenACS installation (when lots of database operations are performed)
and the "Installation finished" message is issued, the following message states that:
"The server has been shutdown. Normally it should come back by itself.... etc":
the server is shutdown: true; but it does not come back by itself and no errors appear in the log.
After issuing the command /etc/init.d/dotlrn restart, a few aolserver process instances do appear in the process list
but the browser cannot connect to the aolserver so the last message that says
click here (here is http://127.0.0.1:8000/dotlrn) will lead to an error trying to access the aolserver
(I have run all the tests locally to make sure there was no network interference)
On the other hand, if you start the standard aolserver issuing: /etc/init.d/aolserver4 start
the browser will load the standard aolserver page: "Welcome to your New Home in Cyberspace"
