Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to request error when starting aolserver

It's a library path environment variable thing.  I'm not familiar with daemon tools but it must not be sourcing your .bash_profile file (assuming you're using bash), which isn't surprising.  The bottom line is that it's not finding bin/postgres.so which causes the loading of the DB API to fail, leading to ns_db not being defined.

While when you run manually the library path environment variable is being set up correctly and postres.so is being found.
