Check out the drop script (calendar-drop.sql).  It should be able to drop a freshly installed calendar datamodel, which will enable you to load it again.  If the APM still thinks it's loaded after you drop the datamodel, the easiest thing to do is probably to run the calendar-create.sql script from psql manually.  But check to see if the APM thinks it is installed first, if not you must use the APM to re-install it.

If the drop script doesn't work then we let a nasty bug slip by in our testing process ... let us know how it goes.

I've tried the manual drop and create but I got the impression that running the create script on the command line didn't give  the package manager what it needed to know it was there, since the newly command line installed package didn't show up in the package manager even after a restart.

I'm getting the feeling there are still installation issues at play here, since I'm getting sql errors all over the place. For example, I added a subfolder for forums and I get sql problems when I try to go into the new forum I just created. These kinds of problems are probably not normal in a healthy installation.

I'll try a fresh install. My problem might stem from the fact that I needed to use both the OpenACS install instructions along with Gilbert Wong's to make the installation happen on my FreeBSD box. I'm tempted to throw in a Linux disk and try it there.

Thanks for the reply.
