Hello Folks!
I am trying to install additional OpenACS instances on my (1Ghz,
384 MB) development box, which has one running. I used Jonathan's
rpms (thanks!) on RH 7.1. Is this possible?
Unfortunately, the HOWTO-Multiple-
ACS-Installations-with-one-static-IP.html
- link by Jerry Holly is broken.
My first, naive, plan was to copy the .../defaultacs directory
to .../acs1, create a
second database, and load a seperate instance of aolserver using a
different port, e.g.
8080, with a seperate nsd.tcl file. Starting it would sound something
like .../nsd -kt
nsd1.tcl. Later on, I would experiment with nsvhr, nssock and
nsunix.
I tried to create a second database (acs1) and simply copied
/var/lib/aolserver/servers/defaultacs to ../acs2, but (of course?)
this did not work.
Loading the geo-tables and the data model into the second database
was unsuccesful for
some reason. (Of course, in a week or so I will say this all was a
very stupid thing to
do...)
After this, I tried to install AOLServer (3.4, because it should
fix an issue with
un-english characters) from the tarball - it was easy to get this one
running on itself on
port 8080. But... getting it to run with OpenACS (I installed a
second instance in /web)
was unsuccesful, e.g. because all kinds of files are in a different
place in the
rpm-installation.
Now, I am confused about what to do next... (Well, taking a long
vacation seems a
pretty good option...)
Thanks for any suggestions!
