There is a mistake on the debian installation docs.
I was about to change but i decided to post here first.

https://openacs.org/wiki/Installing%20OpenACS%20on%20Debian%20Linux

Instead of: mv /tmp/openacs-5.1.5 service1
it would be mv /var/lib/openacs-5.1.5 service1

since we are talking about the code and not about the tar file anymore. Am i correct?

by the way i didn't know that i could change te docs. It showed up a edit button on the bottom of the page. Was that suposed to be there??

It is correct as is.

After downloading OpenACS to your tmp directory you move into the directory it is supposed to be in:

cd /var/lib/aolserver

you untar and decompress the files in the tmp directory:

tar xzf /tmp/openacs-5.1.5.tar.gz

and you move those files to the destination (the directory of your choosing, service1 represents that name):

mv /tmp/openacs-5.1.5 service1

Should you be able to edit the documentation? Yes. That is the whole point of moving to a wiki based documentation. Making it easy for new users to change/fix the documentation.
