Forum OpenACS Development: Re: xowiki 0.37 on OpenACS 5.1.5 woes
Thanks so much for your responses. I got xotcl and xowiki from the cvs, but still get the same error. I'm seriously considering upgrading my OpenACS installation, but cannot find good docs anywhere about how to do that while keeping my database entries (users, forums, blog, calendar, etc) intact.
The standard OpenACS docs ( here) basically say "copy over the new files, do a CVS merge", and then "use the upgrade script to create a new database." I find that pretty much every module comes with its own database upgrade scripts. How do I upgrade everything in one go?
Thanks!
The comment about the "CVS merge" statement assumes that you have your installation in CVS and your have done local modifications. The upgrade scripts from openacs do not create a "new database", but do a stepwise upgrade of the existing installation. When OpenACS detects a new version to install (e.g. you have updates the files in the packages directory) it runs (or should run) all the necessary update-scripts, when you do a acs-admin/apm/packages-install.
I would recommend to try an upgrade to oacs-5.2.3. Start openacs with your working installation. While it is running, update the files for the acs-core packages and run then acs-admin/apm/packages-install. It will point you to the files to upgrade and will run the upgrade scripts automatically. In case something goes wrong, remember the failed update scripts and run these by hand (i.e. via psql -f ...). If you have a large database (large content repository), some steps can take a while. Once you have acs-core upgraded, then update the application packages.
I am now on xotcl-core 0.48, xotcl-request-monitor 0.38, and xowiki 0.50.
Now the troublesome part: there are a couple of errors in the error.log file:
[04/Apr/2007:01:11:17][17923.1][-main-] Error: Error sourcing /home/aolserver/packages/xowiki/tcl/xowiki-procs.tcl:

and a few lines below that, this one:

It may be irrelevant, but just in case: this is a virtual domain enabled aolserver process. I am loading libthread for both the servers.
I have a feeling I haven't configured something properly. Can you please suggest what could cause these errors?
Thanks!
This is probably due to the XOTcl version that you are using. The first error message shows that the actual error (message) from the lowest callstack level is suppressed. This is documented and patched for XOTcl 1.5.3. Patching or upgrading to a fresh install of 1.5.3 from xotcl.org should heal this problem, at least, and will show us the true source of the problem.
The second error message is a follow-up upon the first, as ::xowiki::File is declared in the same *-procs.tcl file that fails to source due to the first error.
The log shows:
[04/Apr/2007:03:34:29][1708.1][-main-] Notice: XOTcl version 1.5.3 loaded
As per my previous post, this is a virtual domain enabled server, so the XOTcl loaded line occurs multiple times, once for each server. Could that be an issue?
Thanks!
I am pretty sure, you have an earlier error message in your log file. Most likely, you have oacs 5.2.3 from the released tar file. From the distance, i would think that maybe acs-bootstrap-installer/bootstrap.tcl does not have the patch in http://cvs.openacs.org/cvs/openacs-4/packages/acs-bootstrap-installer/bootstrap.tcl?r1=1.25.8.2&r2=1.25.8.3
I have included changelog of the changes in the oacs-5-2 branch after the release of OpenACS 5.2.3 below (just removed the length catalog file listings and reverted changes). These changes are as well included in OpenACS 5.3.0. I would recommend to wait until the release of OpenACS 5.3.1 and DotLRN 2.3.0, since this release contains as well updates for the application packages included in DotLRN.
There is a longer discussion about the error message you are experiencing in https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=546200
Hope this helps

Now there are some suspicious warning messages in the log, of the kind of:
[04/Apr/2007:05:04:30][7091.1][-main-] Warning: db_qd_get_fullname: there is no documented proc with name xo::db::has_ltree returning dbqd..NULL (declare proc xo::db::has_ltree with ad_proc to make it work with the query dispatcher [04/Apr/2007:05:04:30][7091.1][-main-] Warning: db_qd_get_fullname: there is no documented proc with name Generic::object_type_exists returning dbqd..NULL (declare proc Generic::object_type_exists with ad_proc to make it work with the query dispatcher
Hopefully these aren't something to worry about? Thanks so much!
Not sure though what to do in general in a situation like this... When an upgrade script (e.g. 5.2.0d16-d17.sql) assumes a acs-kernel to be in a certain state, which it is not after it has been upgraded e.g. to 5.3.0.
