    ns_param SharedLibrary /usr/local/aolserver/modules/tcl

The parameter SharedLibrary used to appear in openacs-3.2.5 sample nsd.tcl. Maybe the sample openacs-4-nsd.txt in file-storage should be updated or is that an effect of the new bootstrap?

  I tried to execute this 'select apm_package_version__add_file...' thing manually in psql and quite right, the connection dropped out 😟.

  I am using PostgreSQL  version 7.1.1. I tried this a couple of times, dropping/recreating the database with the same result. I scanned for the apm_package_version__add_file function, but I couldn't find it anywhere, though it must be there since it was in the database.

  Please help, what am I doing wrong?

<blockquote>      Also you can do: "createlang plpgsql template1", which will automatically create the pgsql
      language for every new database.

  Yes, that would make it a little easier to start all over 😉
