I installed AOLserver from MacPorts and compiled the necessary AOLserver modules, but mine segfaults as soon as I try to start it. Has anyone tried the MacPorts version?

I installed postgresql also, that seems to work OK.

Dave,

Now that you mention it, mine segfault'd too (I installed from source though). I fixed it by adding the following in my .bash_profile (for mac terminal, .bashrc for X11 one):

# For aolserver not to segfault
ulimit -n 256

This problem came from a change in c-library semantics introduced by Leopard and was fixed in the head version of aolserver 4.5 about nine months ago
