install-ns.sh

Please refer to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gustafn/install-ns/master/install-ns.sh for the latest version of the script below.

Below is a simple install script for installing NaviServer and its components for a PostgresSQL installation from scratch by obtaining the relevant sources and compiling it. The script works under a typical Linux installation as well as on Mac OS X.

A sample config-file for OpenACS is provided here: openacs-config.tcl

#!/bin/bash

Congratulations, you have installed NaviServer.

  In order to run the server, it has should be executed with non-root 
  privileges. Therefore, the server needs an unprivileged user to be
  specified (e.g. nsadmin). The permissions for log directory have to be set up:

  chown -R nsadmin ${inst_dir}/logs

You can now run plain NaviServer by typing the following command: 

  ${inst_dir}/bin/nsd -f -u nsadmin -t ${inst_dir}/conf/nsd-config.tcl

As a next step, you need to configure the server according to your needs,
or you might want to use the server with OpenACS. Consult as a reference 
the alternate configuration files in ${inst_dir}/conf/
