Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Still using OACS 3.2.5...Upgrade? How?
Please provide details on how you installed the Tcl + AOLserver bundle on your Ubuntu platform. My guess is (from reading the modified config.tcl) that you did not use the packaged versions (https://openacs.org/xowiki/ubuntu) but that you staged custom builts from the source distributions? If so, please provide the exact steps of compiling and installing Tcl + AOLserver.
As for the startup error:
[16/Aug/2010:13:46:14][3020.3065916272][-default:0-] Error: Error sourcing /var/lib/aolserver/schoolacs/packages/acs-bootstrap-installer/installer/index.tcl: invalid command name "ns_getform" while executing "ns_getform"
I think you continue using your 3.2.5 config.tcl under 5.6 which won't work. The most obvious problem to me, which relates to the above error condition (which occurs upon configuring a first connection thread), is that in the 3.2.5 config.tcl the Tcl thread extension (in contrast to AOLservers nsthread module) is not loaded:
(your config.tcl)
# nsthread library which should become standard in 5.3
# ns_param libthread [lindex [glob ${homedir}/lib/libnsthread*[info sharedlibextension]] 0](the current 5.6 config.tcl)
see e.g. http://fisheye.openacs.org/browse/OpenACS/openacs-4/etc/config.tcl?r=HEAD
ns_param libthread [lindex [glob ${homedir}/lib/thread*/libthread*[info sharedlibextension]] 0]Did you install the Tcl thread extension? What were the installation instructions you followed?
Many Thanks for your time and the detailed reply.
Indeed I have custom installed/compiled Aolserver, Postgresql , TCLTK from the tar zips available for ubuntu lucid distro.
I have compiled TCLTK with --enable-threads option with location optionas /usr/local/aolserver.
I have compile Aolserver4.5.3 with location option as /usr/local/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/local/aolserver.
The Postgresql install location is /usr/local/pgsql
I did not use the packages for 2 reasons 1. The install instructions re locations for AOLserver , Postgres & TCLTK have been changing from version to version of OpenAcs. I went by the locations in the earliest version of OpenAcs. 2. I am new to CVS or SVN and I did not want to search around for locations of bin,lib,include files.
As recommended by you I will try with config.tcl for OpenAcs5.6.
I will get back as soon as I am done...

I have compiled and installed TCL 8.5.8 with the following options :
--prefix = /usr/local/aolserver
--enable-threads
--enable-shared
--enable-symbols
--enable-langinfo
I remember commenting the libthread option because it was giving mod-load error. Now I have restored it and the error is given below.
