1: cannot install openACS
Posted by Ke Wang on 07/20/01 05:50 AM
I am installing openACS.
The AOLserver can pass the test, and the default welcome page can be
accessed by browser with its sample-config.tcl under .../aolserver/.

But when I used the nsd.tcl provided by openACS installation guide,
and modified it to my own system, the system cannot work. It's
strange that after typing ./bin/nsd -kt nsd.tcl, there is no any
process running by it. Seems it ends immediately. And I cannot access
the files by browser.

What's its possible problem?
Thank you very much!!

Have you checked the server logs?

Try "bin/nsd -ft nsd.tcl" to start nsd in the foreground which will
show the server log on the terminal. If nothing appears wrong and
you can connect to the server, do "bin/nsd -t nsd.tcl" to start the
server in the background.

If you are using port 80 , make sure you start the process as root and show user to run under
<pre>
root# bin/nsd -kt nsd.tcl -u nsadmin -g web
</pre>
<p>
Also make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set properly or database won't connect..  (echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
<p>
running in the foreground with -ft option is a good idea until you get everything set up
