Forum OpenACS Q&A: OpenACS 5.5.0 install Debian 6 64bits - When trying to install OpenACS I get "Not Found"

Try using the IP address of the server:

n1.n2.n3.n4:8000

Also, consider setting hostname to "0.0.0.0" as an alternate to "localhost".

Sometimes using "localhost" doesn't work on some systems, depending on the OS configuration.

I paste here my config.tcl file:

pabloacs@debian:~$ vi /var/lib/aolserver/pabloacs/etc/config.tcl

But I followed the install guide with no deviations... I even tried doint it a couple of times, with different distros, I always get to the same Not Found.

I'm wondering if this is the problem:

config.tls shows:

set server "pabloacs"
set serverroot "/var/www/${server}"
set pageroot ${serverroot}/www

Then all the pages should be stores on /var/www/pabloacs/www right? But there is nothing there, just the log folder:

pabloacs@debian:/var/lib/aolserver$ ls -l /var/www/pabloacs/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 pabloacs pabloacs 4096 Dec 9 16:03 log

Should a change the "pageroot" variable?

Point to "/var/lib/aolserver/pabloacs/packages/acs-admin/www/" maybe?

does /var/lib/aolserver/pabloacs/ exist? YES

But, there is no www directory on /var/www/pabloacs, and I think this is the problem.

I did this:

This proves the aolserver works, which I already know, Im missing the openacs install files. Im sure those are included on the tar and the cvs when you checkout.

Thanks

set serverroot "/var/lib/aolserver/${server}"

On config.tcl I got the install page for openacs!!

I get this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At least one misconfiguration was discovered that must be corrected. Please fix all of them, restart the web server, and try running the OpenACS installer again. You can proceed without resolving these errors, but the system may not function correctly.

Problems with XML support for AOLserver:
tDOM is not installed! You must have tDOM installed, or nothing will work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still under investigation...

if you installed tcl from the debian packages, there should be a tdom package that will work, as Torbin is suggesting.

The tdom from its debian package will work with tcl from its debian package, but not with a tcl built from source, especialy if it's in a different location.

-Jim

I installed all from source. This is how I compiled tDOM originally:

../configure --enable-threads --disable-tdomalloc --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib
sh CONFIG
make install

And then, after some reading (including README.AOL) I did:

../configure --enable-threads --disable-tdomalloc \
--prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib \
--with-aolserver=/usr/local/aolserver
sh CONFIG
make install

But both result on the same error "tDOM is not installed! You must have tDOM installed, or nothing will work"

This is how I built tcl:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.4.19-src.tar.gz
tar xfz tcl8.4.19-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.4.19/
cd unix
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --enable-threads
make install
ln -s /usr/local/bin/tclsh8.4 /usr/local/bin/tclsh
ln -s /usr/local/bin/tclsh8.4 /usr/bin/tclsh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And this is how I built tdom:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

cd /usr/local/src
wget https://github.com/downloads/tDOM/tdom/tDOM-0.8.3.tgz
tar xvfz tDOM-0.8.3.tgz
cd tDOM-0.8.3/unix/
../configure --enable-threads --disable-tdomalloc --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib
sh CONFIG
make install

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, in case it helps, my directories look like this:

I got tdom from

And build (the same as I was doing before):

./configure --enable-threads --disable-tdomalloc --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --exec-prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --with-aolserver=/usr/local/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib
make
make install

Then I installed xotcl 1.6.0 which I was missing... and I think THIS WAS MY REAL PROBLEM...

wget http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xotcl-1.6.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz xotcl-1.6.0.tar.gz
cd xotcl-1.6.0/
export CC=gcc
./configure --enable-threads --enable-symbols --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --exec-prefix=/user/local/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib
make
make install

And then I got rid of the XML error.

THANKS JIM ET ALL (until my next problem...but next one is going to be a new post)

when aolserver was at 3.x, one of its main problems, it could not use regular tcl modules, something about inability to replicate the tcl interp with the module included. This problem went away in aolserver-4.x, so fts, xotcl, tdom and others could be built as tcl modules.
