Forum OpenACS Development: Re: AOLserver 3.2 Doubts

I would use an editor on the same platform that you are installing on - vi or emacs should be fine.  You might run into problems with tcl and adp pages if the line endings in the file don't match the platform they are being served from.

From your questions about MSIE and Notepad I take it that you are using at least one Windows machine.  If you would be more comfortable working on Windows, I maintain the Win32 port of AOLserver 4.0 and can point you to an installer.

The AOLserver 4 installer for Windows is at http://empoweringminds.mle.ie/openacs/4/

Let's not be too hard on Divya - he's been reasonably polite and at least he's not double-posting questions about MySQL with Apache.  😊

Divya, there are a few things that might help you get faster and more helpful replies in the future:

* Include detailed information about your configuration.  I'm still not sure where you got AOLserver 3.2 or what distribution of Linux you were trying to use.  It also helps when you describe, in as much detail as possible, what your goal is, and how what you see is not what you expected.

* Jim Lynch pointed you to some helpful documentation.  I know they can be hard for people who aren't very experienced or for people whose native language isn't English, but they are really excellent and worth taking the time to read.

* Don't post to the OpenACS Development forum - you were correct before in posting to the OpenACS Q&A forum.
