I just installed OpenACS4 and had some problems. Thought that some
people might want to see what I did:
I followed the steps in "Brief OpenACS 4 installation" by Vinod Kurup
downloaded all installation files, following the links in the
document:
aolserver-src.tar.gz
nsxml.tgz
(both the most current versions as of 11/01/2001)
pgdriver-2.0.1.tgz
postgresql-7.1.3.tar.gz
openacsl4.tcl.txt
(cvs connection didn't work for me, used tarball instead)
OS: Redhat 7.1
problem 1:
after installation, the attempt to connect via web browser for the
first time yielded the following error:
..."ns_db not enabled"
in the startup log, I could see that "libpq.so.2" could not be found
(called from postgres.so)
I checked all relevant permissions and created symlinks pointing from
libpq.so.2 to libpq.so.2.1, but no avail
fix: edit the pgdriver makefile and change libpq.so.2 to libpq.so.2.1,
remake & reinstall
problem 2:
OpenNSD stacksize too small (requires at least 128 MB)
fix: as suggested by error message
under
ns_section ns/threads
add line
ns_param StackSize 500000
Note: this line already appears under
ns_section ns/parameters
but that doesn't seem to do it
(suggested was a lower value, but since 500000 was already generated
in the file, I went w/ the higher value)
now the installer was ready to go & finished w/o problems
