Ok,
Now it's at least giving :
[16/May/2001:01:08:26][1631.1024][-main-] Notice: nssock: listening on
63.35.228.24:8000
Did this by reading through the Mandrake 7.2 "msec" (Mandrake Security)
documentation (which seems not to be in the Mandrake 8.0 Reference
Manual, unless I just somehow missed it), and then reconfigured
Mandrakes' "Security Level" via :
# msec custom
Chose options which appear to allow programs to bind to unpriviledged
ports, but nothing too lax to leave the machine wide open, and AOLServer
at least starts up and binds to ports now.
I'll grab the preconfigured OpenACS version of the AOLServer config file
and others bits now too Roberto, then get OpenACS working.
One step at a time...
Thanks heaps guys!
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
