1: News package problem .. please help.
Posted by Kiran Halwai on 03/25/03 06:40 PM
I have openacs 4.6 installed on linux 7.2 redhat. DB: postgres.

I could install the News package sucessfully. When I try to access it, it displayes following error message.

I replaced following two lines in news/www/index.tcl -

set allow_search_p [parameter::get -package_id $package_id -parameter ShowSearchInterfaceP  -default 1]
set search_url [site_node_closest_ancestor_package_url search]

with

set allow_search_p 0
set search_url ""

It works with this change, but gives problem again in the Admin section.
Just want to understand what's it really asking for.

Thanks and Regards,
Kiran Halwai

Which version of 4.6?  The original 4.6, 4.6.1 or the oacs-4-6 tag from CVS?

Thanks in advance ...

Thank you.

and also restarted AOL server after installing the package and also after creating sitemap to it. Just in case that's your next question -;)
But I remember working it properly pre-4.6.

Thank you.

Is there any reason you're not using 4.6.1?  That would be my first suggestion - see if you have the problem there.

I installed 4.6.1 and News package works as expected. But now Forums is broken. Here is the log. Could you please tell me what's wrong here. I selected all the dependancies it had asked for. Thank you very much.

Installing notifications is not enough, you have to mount it using the site-map. Once this is done you should be find. Searching for "notifications mount" should have given you a list of postings hinting at that problem and saved you the waiting time till my answer.

P.S.: Isn't this behaviour fixed by Lars APM changes (checking a package is not only installed but also mounted, as is the case with Blogger and Forums for notifications) ?

Yes, in OpenACS 4.6.2 notifications should be automounted when it is installed.
