- | -OpenACS 4.2 Alpha - |
-This is an alpha release of OpenACS 4.2. This release has been subjected to an organized test -effort, but please bear in mind that we are still in the process of developing testing tools, -methodology, and scripts. -
Please report bugs using our - -Software Development Manager at the -OpenACS website. -The latest information on installating this alpha release under Oracle 8.1.6/7 or -PostgreSQL 7.1.* can be found there as well. Currently the toolkit will not -install under Oracle 9i due to Oracle having made "delete" an illegal name for -PL/SQL procedures and functions. -
You may want to begin by reading Ars Digita's original documentation -on installing under Unix/Linux or -Windows. The basic process is unchanged, and we -expect to update the documentation for our beta release. -
After installation, the full documentation set for acs-core provided in the original -aD release can be found by visiting -http://[your-host]/doc. -
Also be sure to read the documentation in the Site Wide Search package's -sql/oracle directory. The APM doesn't execute the SQL for this package, in -part due to the fact that some steps need to be run as the Oracle user -'ctxsys'. +
+ +-If you're using PostgreSQL be sure to read the documentation on installing the -Open FTS driver for OpenACS. It's included in the package as a text file. As -with the Oracle version, there are steps you must take manually in order to -get this feature working. -
-Summarised Testing Status + This is a beta release of OpenACS 4.2. This release has been subjected + to an organized test effort, but please bear in mind that we are still + in the process of developing testing tools, methodology, and scripts. + ++ Please report bugs using our + + Software Development Manager at the OpenACS website. The latest + information on installating this alpha release under Oracle 8.1.6/7 + or PostgreSQL 7.1.* can be found there as well. Currently the + toolkit will not install under Oracle 9i due to Oracle having made + "delete" an illegal name for PL/SQL procedures and functions. +
++ You may want to begin by reading our installation documentation for Installing on Unix/Linux or Installing on Windows. Note that the Windows + documentation is not current for OpenACS4. +
++ After installation, the full documentation set can be found by visiting + http://[your-host]/doc. Not all pieces are updated for OpenACS 4 at + this moment. +
++ +++ If you're using Oracle 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition you may want + to uncomment the SQL that causes InterMedia to keep online searching + online while indexing. The feature doesn't exist in Standard Edition + and OpenACS 4 now defaults to being loadable in SE. Just grep for + 'sync' to find the code. +
++ Also be sure to read the documentation in the Site Wide Search + package's sql/oracle directory. The APM doesn't execute the SQL for + this package, in part due to the fact that some steps need to be run + as the Oracle user 'ctxsys'. +
++ If you're using PostgreSQL be sure to read the documentation on + installing the Open FTS driver for OpenACS. It's included in the + package as a text file and is also summarized at the end of the + installation documentation in the section, Set Up OpenFTS. As with the Oracle version, there + are steps you must take manually in order to get this feature + working. +
++ +++ Here are some notes from our testing group. While not quite up to + date it should give you some ideas of where things stand. +
