Hi Mohammad,

Did you configure the database driver.See the AOLserver documentation
Even i got the same error.Try giving the following commands and then restart the AOLserver.

add database specific wrapper script and configure the postgres diver nspostgres

[root aolserver]# cd /usr/local/aolserver/bin
[root bin]# cp /var/tmp/openacs-5.2.0/packages/acs-core-docs/www/files/nsd-postgres.txt ./nsd-postgres
[root bin]# chmod 755 nsd-postgres

Which documentation did you follow.

You can see similar error at
https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message%5fid=390323

I think you haven't set the environmental variable properly

Stop AOLserver.

THen make sure PostgreSQL is running.

Then restart AOLserver.

This should fix it. It looks like AOLserver started up before PostgreSQL.

I would add one step to Dave's suggestion:

1. stop AOLserver

2. start PostgreSQL

3. verify that you can connect to the database using PSQL

4. THEN restart AOLserver

Are you sure your postgres daemon is up? (ps -A)
