Hi Hector,
Thanks for such a quick reply.
Yes svc is what I ment to type.
I went to the link for installing daemontools package but didn't know which one to choose so
I tried doing apt-get install daemontools
it Suggested package daemontools-run runit and
installed daemontools from a 65.4kB archive.
It got http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main daemontools 1:0.76-3 [65.4kB]
it unpacked daemontools (from .../daemontools_1%3a0.76-3_i386.deb) ...
Processed triggers fro man-db
setup daemontools (1:0.76-3)
I edited the StartDaemon for openacs to disable the init.d script as per 1) above
I stopped the daemon as per 2) above
1 then did 3) ln -s /usr/share/openacs/etc/daemontools /etc/openacs/daemontools which I'm not completely sure that i did it right since you wrote /etc/service/openacs and since it was not there i used /etc/openacs/daemontools
and when I tried to access it the following is what i got:
Failed to Connect
The connection was refused when attempting to contact 192.168.2.17:8000.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.
I've just rebooted the system and will try it again.
