I have posted a bugfix for this, but just thought I'd double post in case someone else wastes their Saturday like I do, and would like to waste it on something better.
I did a
cvs update -d -P
with
Root=tomj@openacs.org/cvsroot
Tag=Toacs-4-6
Repository=openacs-4
When I restarted OpenACS, I got a message indicating the failed startup. Actually it starts up, but noting works, every page gives the same error. The problem is a small typo in db-init-checks-postgresql.tcl in the bootstrap installer.
The bug and patch are here.
BTW, what version of OpenACS do I have checked out?
