Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to VMWare OACS installation question

Hi Damon,

It seems that Postgres is not running.  If you are comfortable with Unix then try to install it without the vmware.  The docs are here... https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4/

Everyone,

I think John's approach to using VMware is a good one.  No more installation stuff.  Just turn on the vmware.  I have been discussing with Talli about packaging OpenACS into preset packages.  Since OACS is just too flexible I think if we make different setup like ecommerce site, elearning site, cms site, etc.  it will tell new users how good it is.  John approach using VMWare looks good,  install serveral pre-package OACS on the vmware.  What do you guys think?
