1: Win2K AOLServer and OpenACS
Posted by Ryan Casey on 06/21/01 09:58 PM
I am trying to get AOLServer and OpenACS working on Win2K using
Cygwin.  I have been looking at the prior posts, but everyone seems
to be further than me.

Are there pages that I could test in OpenACS without PGSql installed,
just to see if I have that configuration proper?  It seems to try and
load index.tcl, but just sits there with the progress bar running for
a few minutes before it fails.

Thanks.

The default index.tcl tried to access the database, so if you don't have Postgres installed, it won't work.

If you want to test whether AOLServer is working, replace the original index.tcl with an index.tcl containing only static HTML.

i.e.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>AOLServer test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>AOLServer test</H1>
<P>If you can see this, then AOLServer is working</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

My HTML didn't show up, but if you 'view source' you can see it.

Is there only HTML in your .TCL file? Call it index.html if there is no Tcl code in it. A minimal Tcl page has this: 

ns_return 200 text/html "put your html in here"

the simplest test is to fire up aolserver with a default config.tcl -- you will then see something like this:
