1: error after installing dotlrn
Posted by Thelma Pinto on 03/07/03 11:16 AM
We are using oracle 8.1.7.
At the stage when we type in the

http:////yourserver/dotlrn/admin.

  in the browser after completing the installation of dotlrn  we get the following error:

Did you get dotLRN from the CVS HEAD?  The dotlrn-1-0 tag?  What version of OpenACS 4.6 are you using?  Please use the 4.6.1 beta 2 tarball that can be found by clicking on the "download" link at the top of this page, not CVS HEAD or the oacs-4-6 tag.

This appears to be an installation issue.  If you use the 4.6.1 beta 2 tarball you should have no problem ...

hi,
i tried installing dotlrn using the openacs 4.6.1 beta 2 tarball that u mentioned.

we got some missing packages and the dotlrn packages using the following cvs.

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot co \
        acs-datetime acs-developer-support acs-events acs-mail-lite \
        attachments bulk-mail calendar faq file-storage forums general-comments \
        news notifications ref-timezones user-preferences

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@dotlrn.openforce.net:/dotlrn-cvsroot co dotlrn-core

now we get a diff error while opening

http://servername/dotlrn/admin
we are using oracle 8.1.7

Please read

https://openacs.org/projects/dotlrn/dotlrn-doc/dotlrn-installation

When adding stuff to the beta tarball you should checkout with -r oacs-4-6-b2 from openacs, and with -r dotlrn-1-0 from dotlrn.

Thelma, I also checked and the modules you said were missing from OpenACS are in fact in the tarball so I am not at all sure why you would need to check them out of cvs.

Thanx everybody!!

We finally succeeded installing dotlrn with oracle 8.1.7 .
We had installed dotlrn with postgres earlier , but the calendar and my files module wasnt working properly.

we used cvs of openacs-4.6.1 beta2 and cvs of dotlrn 1.0 with the -r option.

thanx everyone once again.
