Forum OpenACS Q&A: OpenACS 4.6 installation loading the core package data models

hi all ,
during the step of Installing openACS Core servcies i get till
generating secret tokens

but i dont get the Next button.

also the nsd proces, at this point, gets killed in the background.

could anyone help?

bye,
Thelma

Hi,

Are you sure that nsd gets killed?  If its just there by using "ps", it should be fine.  It takes 5-10 mins and probably longer on slower machines.

hi,

while starting the nsd process its running fine.

at the step of loading the core package data models

it displays till "generating secret tokens" and stops

and then When i use ps -ef

no nsd process is not running.

bye ,
Thelma

Can you check your log file?  See what happens on the last parts of it.  Post it here maybe someone can help too.
there is no entry in the aolserver log ie /usr/local/aolserver/log/error.log

this is the entry in ~/web/$server/log/error.log

Thanx,
Thelma

Looks to be fine and correct.  If you are sure that nsd is not in the process list then there is likely a problem.  Maybe someone here has experienced this.  If nsd is still there, its likely that you will just need to wait.  Sorry can't help further.
Thelma, maybe you can post a little more about your installation process. Which documentation did you use, and did you run into any problems? What OS are you using, what version of Postgres, etc... Did you get the source code from CVS or the tarball?
We got the source code from the tarball. We downloaded it fron openacs site itself(www.openacs.org).
  The OS we are using is Red Hat Linux 7.3. We followed the documentation provided on the openacs site itself. PostgreSQL version is 7.2 and aolserver version is 3.4.2.
Are you sure you want to use AOLserver 3.4.2?  And are you using the version from SourceForge or from uptime.openacs.org?  I don't know if 3.4.2 is causing your problem, but even if it isn't, 3.4.2 will have other problems when used with OpenACS.  (Particularly with regards to missing internationalization functions.)

For now, I would recommend you use the OpenACS-customized version of AOLserver 3.3+AD13, available from http://uptime.openacs.org/aolserver-openacs/
That's what most people here use, and what the OpenACS installation docs reference.  I hope that helps!

Hi,
    Yes, the problem was because of aolserver 3.4.2.
now i have installed aolserver3.3ad13 and openacs 4.6
i'm getting stuck up during dotlrn installation.

at the step of
***************
Next go to the "Site Map" on your system at http://yourserver/admin/site-map. Click the "new sub folder" link to the right of the "Main Site" link at the top of the table. Enter dotlrn in the textbox, and hit the button.

There will be a new entry in the URL column for "dotlrn" with "(none)" in the application column, to the right of this, click the "New Application" link. Enter dotlrn into the textbox and select "dotLRN" from the drop-down list and hit the button.

There will now be "dotlrn" in the application column to the right of the "dotlrn/" URL.

Next you must set some parameters from the Site Map page.

For the "Main site" (the first row of the table at the top of the page), set the "DefaultMaster" parameter from /www/default-master to /packages/dotlrn/www/dotlrn-master.
For the ACS Kernel (the first item in the list below the table) in the system-information section, set the CommunityMemberURL from /shared/community-member to /dotlrn/community-member
In the same system-information section, set the CommunityMemberAdminURL from /acs-admin/users/one to /dotlrn/admin/user

You must now restart your server, wait a few minutes, and reload the "Site Map" page in your browser After the server restarts, refresh the "Site Map". You will see a "(+)" to the left of the dotlrn/ URL and a new URL: "portal/" with application "new-portal".
***********************************

im getting the portal/ and new-portal but no plus sign is displayed.

Has anyone come across this?

Bye,
Thelma
