I have seen documentation that sucked -- and I have used AOLserver for some time, and the documentation has never sucked. It may not be in the same tight shape now as it was in 2.1/2.2/2.3 days, but, then again, there's not the same full-time doc person on the payroll either. I have seen much worse documentation than the current 3.x set, believe you me. So, Kris, the 'entire list membership' doesn't feel that way.

When I had CVS access (which, unless Kris dropped me from the list, I still have) I went to make an attempt at doing just this. I quickly realized that it was best to have the driver in one canonical place. In fact, I believe this was discussed at length on this list -- although I may be barking up the wrong tree. Keeping two separate repositories synced isn't really a wise move, IMHO. IIRC I am the one who suggested it be dropped from the AOLserver CVS. The reason was that the OpenACS version was under more active development, and should be considered canonical. The version available for download from aolserver.com should not be. (Yes, that's the end of the thought -- that version should not exist, should not be used, etc. The OpenACS version is The One.)

The thought should have been: We're not large enough to dedicate a whole server machine to each hosted site or pairs/quads of sites.

Compare the patches for each distribution and see what the differences are. Install the .src.rpm, and check the spec file as well as the individual patchsets (found on Red Hat in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and /usr/src/redhat/SPECS).

[snip] As an AOLserver/AOLpress (RIP) user since May 1997, I applaud the new direction this project is taking. The moves of the last few weeks are refreshing to me, and reinforce my decision to continue forward with AOLserver rather than an Apache/PHP cookie-cutter site for WGCR Radio. We are in the midst of a redesign/revamp using OpenACS 4, and the direction the base server takes or doesn't take is critical in my continued justification of using a fairly arcane and obscure webserver. My insistence on using this particular server has come under fire before because the server isn't as popular as some. While I don't feel like I should be on core, I do want to continue helping as I can with development in the future. As the shape of 4.0 develops, I can focus on how that will impact the PostgreSQL driver, to the point that I may be able to maintain that. Maybe I will have the time I would like to have to do this. In all honesty, I was beginning to wonder about the wisdom of continuing to use AOLserver in this application, but the renewed vigor in this area is nice. So, today will be the first chat I will attend, as ramifordistat, because of this rejuvenation. Jim, many thanks for the explanation, and I look forward to continuing using this fine server. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
[AOLSERVER] URL case insensitivity.
This may be an obvious one, but I'm trying to move a site over from an IIS host to an AOLserver one, and the web pages link to mixed-case filenames. However, the filenames are all actually lower case, meaning I get a lot of 404's. With IIS this works fine. Broken, perhaps -- but it works. There are several thousand pages involved, and we want to mirror the two sites. Changing all the links is not an option due to many factors. :-(. I looked through the configuration reference, and didn't see anything addressing this issue. Does anyone know of a solution better than storing the files on a FAT filesystem with Linux doing the case reversion in the filesystem layer? Maybe I'm just blind -- but in my five years of running AOLserver I've never run across having to do this. Something like 'urlcase tolower' (modeled after the existent 'headercase' setting) would be nice, but I didn't see it. If I've just missed it, I apologize for wasting bandwidth. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

The loopback-mount VFAT works, and works well, as long as you remember VFAT's root directory limits on number of files.

I suffered a massive server meltdown last night, and that was the first thing I thought of (in my apparently somewhat incoherent state). As the other poster has mentioned, you'll need to explicitly link with the nsdb library. Hmmm. I need to check nspostgres for that linkage, too. After I get more coherent. The short of it: during a load test, my Redhat 8.0 server scribbled tcl code from OpenACS all over my root filesystem. I don't think it was an nsd problem; I think the soundcard driver suffered buffer overruns (while encoding RealAudio with helix producer 9 for Internet streaming) to the extent that it corrupted enough kernel structures to cause filesystem problems. Fortunately I'm a believer in the minimal root filesystem, and all critical data (except /etc) was on other filesystems, which did not suffer corruption. A hexdump (with ascii output) of the raw partition shows random tcl procedure snippets all over the inode tables of the filesystem.

The next invocation of any of the db_* API could produce the uninitialized pool result 'nsdb0' (I knew I remembered that from somewhere -- I've seen the nsdb0 result before when a pool wasn't properly initialized (way back when the PostgreSQL driver was being beta tested for PostgreSQL 6.2.1, and AOLserver was at 2.2)). Maybe I'm wrong, but I did trace through all of that code, and the only way I could see ns_pg_bind getting passed a table name of nsdb0 was through something external to the thread changing the global state variable 'db_state'. Now maybe I'm not grokking it correctly, but the proc 'db_with_handle' is mixing state between a global and an nsv (through a call to db_nth_pool_name, which uses the nsv 'db_available_pools'). Again, maybe I'm off-base a little, but I went through the code the other day (after Mohan's report of a driver issue, which isn't really a driver issue) and determined that the code paths in AOLserver 3.x and AOLserver 4.x for pool creation, handle availability and creation, and the various data structures between the database driver, the pool API, and the handle API hadn't changed in a significant way. But this behavior of ns_eval could explain that problem, depending upon the timing of its execution, as well as where the ns_eval was used. So, when a patch for OpenACS that doesn't use ns_eval is ready, those of you who have problems with the nsdb0 stuff, if yu could please determine whether the elimination of ns_eval fixes it. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list: http://www.aolserver.com/listserv.html List information and options: http://listserv.aol.com/

[AOLSERVER] Mention of AOLserver in Feb 2004 Linux Journal.
There is a good, if inconspicuous, mention of AOLserver in the Feb LJ. On page 46, in the feature on the Magnatune record label, the statement is made: "Apache 2 running PHP and OpenSSL serves all the HTML pages. When Magnatune was Slashdotted, I found that Apache could not keep up with the load for images. All HTTP image requests now are off-loaded to AOLserver, which had the lowest latency to serve images at high speeds." Later: "Mathopd [which they use to serve the very large streaming audio files] has more latency than AOLserver, which is why we don't use it to serve small images." Wow, somebody who really uses the right tool for each job. Apache for the HTML and PHP stuff, AOLserver for machine-gunning images out, and Mathopd for serving very large files at high speeds. But it is a NICE mention of AOLserver. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.

However, can you clarify exactly *which* DB API you are talking about? Is this the driver API, or the user-exposed API? What do you think will be needed to be changed in the database drivers themselves? The comments I remember seeing you make were mostly the user-exposed API portions, but I would kindof like to know, since I will need to rewrite/modify nspostgres accordingly.

[AOLSERVER] Filename Problem, AS 4.0.9.
I was demoing a network install of CentOS 4 for a LUG InstallFest Saturday (installing a server over VNC using an HTTP install) and was hosting the installation repository on an AOLserver 4.0.9 instance (that also happens to be an OpenACS instance, but that shouldn't be an issue, should it?).

Dossy was chasing that bug last September. Dossy? Is this fixed in 4.0.10?

The 'official' postgres driver is nspostgres in sourceforge/aolserver.com CVS. Please read the Makefile for instructions regarding compiling for OpenACS use. There is only one 'official' nspostgres, and it is based off the OpenACS version with tweaks for AOLserver 4 or AOLserver 3 usage and ACS additions. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu -- Lamar Owen CE WGCR AM 720 and WWW.WGCR.NET Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 Peter 4:11 -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.

[AOLSERVER] Archiv on old AOLserver version.
Ok, I'm going to ask a stupid question. I have inherited a server at a site that is still running AOLserver 2.3.3 on it, and one that heavily uses the ad hoc query funtions and templates. I needed to reinstall 2.3.3 on a virtual machine on CentOS 2.1 hosted using VMware on CentOS4. So I'm looking for an archive of the old ftp.aolserver.com; does anyone have such a beast? I wish the source for 2.x had been released; it would make a number of things much simpler. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.

[AOLSERVER] AOLserver 2.3 tcl code.
You know, with all the toolkits out there, no one has done as good of a job as AOLserver 2 did for ad hoc database queries and forms. Is there any chance of seeing this code from this ancient but worthy version open-sourced (I think I asked once before five or six years ago, but don't remember the answer)? I have a client where a large part of teh app is using the ad hoc forms, and, frankly, it JUST WORKS. Works well, works reliably, and just works. They don't need anything more fancy. But they do need something more modern that can run on a later OS and use a later database. It shouldn't take much work to make this work with AOLserver 4. This client neither wants nor needs OpenACS for this simple of a task. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.

That might be a conservative estimate. This list plus the OpenACS community plus the naviserver fork's lists likely contain 100% of the AOLserver expertise. This is also the busiest this list has been in a long time. While I no longer run OpenACS in production, I do still have several AOLserver installs going strong. Some of them are AOLserver 2.3.
