1: Install from Repository
Posted by Geoff King on 10/11/05 10:47 AM
For some reason I can't view any of the packages from the repository. It use to work and has only been in the last 2 days that i've noticed I can't view it. I want to install some of the package.

Is anybody else having a similar problem? I would like to get the forums package, is there another way I can get it?

Kind regards,
Geoff.

The problem is most likely that you are behind a proxy server. You will need to modify /usr/local/aolserver/modules/tcl/http.tcl.

In http.tcl, search for:

set fds [ns_sockopen -nonblock $host $port]

and replace it with:

set fds [ns_sockopen -nonblock www-cache.usyd.edu.au 8080]
set uri http://$host$uri

I've tested on more computers and spoken to other friends and we are all having the same problem.

I am using older openacs 5.1 and this is the link it tries to get them from;

http://localhost/acs-admin/install/install?package%5ftype=apm%5fapplication&repository%5furl=http%3a%2f%2fopenacs%2eorg%2frepository%2f5%2d1%2f

It returns no errors, and no results.

AFAIK, the repository installation pulls the packages from here:

https://openacs.org/repository/

It is definitely broken. There's a bug filed for this here:

The repository is fixed. Something was causing a problem when the rebuild code attempted to checkout the lastest code from CVS. I restarted AOLserver and rebuilt the repository.
