Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Unable to install openacs-5.9.0b2

Thanks!

# initdb -D /var/postgresql/data/ --no-locale -E UTF8

And with this it was possible to install after starting the server with: 

# nsd -u acs -t conf/myacs.tcl

(myacs.tcl was adapted from conf/openacs-config.tcl delivered with the
naviserver). Filling the form, etc.

I do not know what will be consequences of --no-locale. Perhaps nor 
ordering nor conversion of upper/lower, at least for multibyte
simbols.

It was also possible to install with encoding=ctype=latin1 and collate=C.

Improving the documentation is not a bad idea. Perhaps with the help of
a wiki?

Well, I am doing this in my free time, and just testing. But perhaps I will
stay here for a longer time. I dont know.
