Forum OpenACS Development: Re: pg-9.0 final released today; some facts you might consider...

IVC sponsored a project to make sure OpenACS is compatible with 4.0. The core modules were tested and the required changes identified. It's in Don's hands to review and then recommend how to get in OpenAcs.
Tracy, it's probably a lot of work to do all that; on the irc channel today it was suggested that someone test to see if openacs HEAD (would be 5.7?) would work with pg-9, so I built a copy of pg9 just to see how it would go... that's when I noticed the missing options in postgresql.conf.

Do you know if the identified/required changes included consideration of the removal of these three backwards-compatible settings?

I've tried to install https://openacs.org/xowiki/debian and it goes all the way but errors during the http://localhost:8000 configuration and after rebooting several times it fails to access pg9.

I figure this is what the 3 items you referenced about pg9 are about. Would you please give me steps to follow to correct this situation? I also hope that Tracy or someone else will update the script so that it works with lucid.

thanks.

Kenneth,

PG 9.0 is already supported on HEAD.

http://fisheye.openacs.org/changelog/OpenACS/?cs=MAIN:victorg:20101004215919

Just core packages though.

Kenneth, for at least openacs-5.5 you will want pg-8.3.
