Re: [AOLSERVER] installing AOL Server on WINDOWS!

2001-08-22 Thread Kerry Barlow

I am interested in the procedure, considering the online documentation is
not accurate.

 I just did AOLserver last week, from the binaries, not the C source.

Which binaries?

 Listers: would you want to see this on the list, or should we keep it in
 private email?

The AOLserver walk-through ought to be sent to the list.  If nothing
else, a summary of the explanation that could possibly be turned
into or used as a HOWTO.  I'd then like to post it to the wiki if
that's okay.

Re: [AOLSERVER] installing AOL Server on WINDOWS!

2001-08-22 Thread Kerry Barlow

Dossy: It states in the Admin documentation
(http://www.aolserver.com/docs/admin/tech-ch1.htm#20993) to start the server
you must type nsd -t nsd.tcl  in its simplest form
This may work after a user has the system up and configured, however on a
new install there is no nsd.tcl file. I did find a sample-config.tcl,
however when i type
nsd -t sample-config.tcl  from the BIN directory the AOlserver says it
cannot find the config file. I am guessing I need to enter a path statment
in the Windows version.

 2) The Online documentation TOC(table of contents) does not work either. if
you go to
http://www.aolserver.com/docs/admin/admin.htm  and click on the TOC icon,
you will get a
page saying table of contents in a text link
 (http://www.aolserver.com/docs/index.html) clicking on this link generates
an error.
[Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server.]

3) Finally there is a Aolserver binary download for Windows based systems.
However there is not a downloadable documentation file for Windows. The
documentation files are in .tar.gz format. These are not useable on Windows.
I suppose there is a convertor program someplace, but why make things
difficult for a new user.

I believe I came in late on this discussion, it appears like people are
attempting to fix these errors I pointed out.

Can you provide a specific example of where it's not accurate?
