i have made a brand new installation of the latest dotlrn 2.2.0* and AOLserver 4.5 and noticed a small incompatibility.

ns_startcontent in 4.5 requires to get the output encoding passed. in case, the type is set to "text/html", it complains that there is no output encoding specified. i made a fix to oacs 5-2 and head to add the default output encoding in case it is not provided to "ad_return_top_of_page" and "ReturnHeaders" (used on the apm pages).

With that fix it works with 4.0.10 and 4.5. continue testing.... might be worth to consider this for the forthcoming dotlrn release

Hi!

Thanks for the fix. I had detected that problem too.

The main problem I am having in my tests with AOLserver 4.5
is in the initialization of tcl modules (modules/*.tcl)
These files are not sourced. Moreover, I must set in the
config.tcl

ns_Section ns/server/myserver/tcl
ns_param initfile "$OPENACSDIR/tcl/0-acs-init.tcl"

for start OpenACS server. This behaviour is different
to 4.x.10.

Perhaps is a bad compilation / configuration of
my server?

Thanks,
Agustin

Hmm, i did not have a problem with that. I have used essentially the same config file as with aolserver 4.0.10. Here are the relevant parts:
set siteroot		    /usr/local/dotlrn-2.2.0/
set logroot		    ${siteroot}/log/
set pageroot                ${siteroot}/www
...
ns_section ns/server/${server}/tcl
    ns_param   Library            ${siteroot}/tcl
    ns_param   autoclose 	      on
    ns_param   debug 		      false
