IRC [14:55] <rubick> Dossy, any chance you can stop by #openacs for a sec?
IRC [14:55] *** frankie joined the chat.
IRC [15:00] <rubick> a /usr/local/src/aolserver40r9/nscache# make install
IRC [15:00] <rubick> a /usr/local/aolserver/include/Makefile.module:108: /include/Makefile.global: No such file or directory
IRC [15:00] <rubick> a make: *** No rule to make target `/include/Makefile.global'. Stop.
IRC [15:45] <rubick> I think the AOLSERVER environmental variable isn't being set or something.
IRC [15:45] <rubick> I tried make clean, reinstalling Aolserver, then going back, and it didn't work.
IRC [15:46] <rubick> I then moved nscache source into the aolserver source directory, and it then compiled and installed fine.
IRC [15:47] <rubick> however, nspostgres won't compile from either directory, and gives the exact same issue.
IRC [15:48] <rubick> Line 108 in Makefile.module is around here:
IRC [15:48] <rubick> The problem seems to be here:
IRC [15:48] <rubick> ifdef NSBUILD
IRC [15:48] <rubick> include ../include/Makefile.global
IRC [15:48] <rubick> else
IRC [15:48] <rubick> include $(AOLSERVER)/include/Makefile.global
IRC [15:48] <rubick> endif
IRC [15:52] <Dossy> hey - what's up
IRC [15:52] <Dossy> yeah, 4.0.9 it's now a requirement to define AOLSERVER var to point to where AOLserver is installed.
IRC [15:52] <Dossy> for module builds
IRC [15:58] <rubick> I just figured that out!
IRC [15:58] <rubick> export AOLSERVER=/usr/local/aolserver40r9
IRC [15:58] <rubick> and now it works.
IRC [15:58] <rubick> Okay, I'll add that to the OpenACS instructions.
IRC [15:58] <Dossy> or
IRC [15:58] <Dossy> make AOLSERVER=/path/to/aolserver
IRC [15:59] <Dossy> which isn't shell-specific
IRC [15:59] <Dossy> ("export VAR=value" assumes /bin/bash, IIRC.)
IRC [15:59] <rubick> good point.
IRC [15:59] <Dossy> csh variant folks will need to use "setenv VAR value" -- but "make VAR=value" always works regardless of shell.
IRC [15:59] <rubick> thanks.
IRC [15:59] * Dossy nods
IRC [15:59] <Dossy> sorry - wasn't a documented change
IRC [16:00] <rubick> it took me a while to figure out I wasn't crazy
IRC [16:00] * Dossy nods
IRC [16:02] *** jcollins_ parted the chat.
IRC [16:48] *** tekbasse parted the chat.
IRC [17:18] <rubick> I set up a server instance safe4all-dev and another one as safe4all-staging
IRC [17:18] <rubick> They are both Aolserver 4.09, under control of the same user
IRC [17:18] <rubick> when dev starts up, and tries to connect to the database:
IRC [17:19] <rubick> Notice: Ns_PgOpenDb(postgres): Openned connection to localhost::safe4all-dev.
IRC [17:19] <rubick> When staging tries to start up:
IRC [17:19] <rubick> Error: Ns_PgOpenDb(postgres): Could not connect to localhost::safe4all-staging: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "safe4all-staging"
IRC [17:19] <rubick> any ideas?
IRC [17:21] <Dossy> weird.
IRC [17:21] <Dossy> ident? rfc113?
IRC [17:22] <Dossy> sounds like a postgres misconfiguration - turn off ident checking?
IRC [17:22] <rubick> What is ident checking?
IRC [17:22] *** zoro2 joined the chat.
IRC [17:23] <rubick> ah, I see:
IRC [17:23] <Dossy> server connects back to client on 113/tcp speaking the IDENT protocol to find out the username of the process that made the connection
IRC [17:23] <rubick> you have to edit your postgres configuration. That makes sense.
IRC [17:23] <Dossy> heh
IRC [17:23] <Dossy> :)
IRC [17:23] <rubick> It wants the database name to be the same as the username.
