It's possible that Ms. Ng is trying to run aolserver-4.x with config files meant for 3.x?
If not, maybe she hasn't installed postgres, hasn't added her nsadmin user as a postgres user, hasn't installed aolserver's postgres db driver or hasn't created the postgres database for her web service?
But if so...
This is not as bad as it sounds; all she would have to do is arrange to load the nsdb module, and that's a matter of adding one line to the config file.
Here's a snippet:
#
# Modules to load
#
ns_section ns/server/${server}/modules
ns_param nssock ${bindir}/nssock.so
ns_param nslog ${bindir}/nslog.so
(and more of these ns_param lines)
Add this line:
ns_param nsdb ${bindir}/nsdb.so
#
# Modules to load
#
ns_section ns/server/${server}/modules
ns_param nsdb ${bindir}/nsdb.so # added line
ns_param nssock ${bindir}/nssock.so
ns_param nslog ${bindir}/nslog.so
(and more of these ns_param lines)
Explanation... in aolserver-4.x the db functionality has been factored out of nsd into its own module; thanks to Jeff Davis for cluing me in to this one for the benefit of my testing of aolserver-4*.
