Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to OpenACS 4.x on Windows 98

I have tried the native PostgreSQL which I downloaded from here, but I turned out to be less stable than the one on Cygwin. It didn't even make it through creating all the data models.

I was using Postgres 7.1.2 on Cygwin and have now upgraded it to 7.2.1. I used the binary installation of AOLServer downloaded from here, and using some of the missing drivers from the AOLServer4-UH distribution.

Now, I got passed data model creation. Got the 'NEXT' button. I went ahead and Install OACS packages. The packages got installed up until 'acs-content-repository', and stoped in the middle of installing this package. I installed again from scratch (dropdb, createdb, createlang) a few more time, and it stopped at the same place

Here's the postgreslog (AOLServer log showed no errors):

I was using CVS checkout of OpenACS 4, because I am installing dotLRN. I will attemp another install using the released OpenACS 4.5.0.
