James, though I have used reverse proxy extensively, it hasn't been across multiple machines.

I *believe* your remaining problem from the previous system had to do with using "localhost" as the domain in AOLserver's config, and yet not indicating the domain change in the reverse proxy settings.

If you set the domain in the AOLserver config.tcl file to the IP address (for consistency), and then include the domain name in the reverse proxy configuration, I think your problems would largely disappear.

cheers,

Torben

Well currently I am dealing with installation on local machine.No proxy pass business.A fresh install of openacs
aptitude install openacs
and you should expect when you open browser on local machine
where you just finished install
http://localhost:8000

here I see myself helpless as I open
http://localhost:8000
immediately I see a redirection happening.

http://localhost:8000/openacs.openitup.in

I am right now not able to get it working within LAN itself.
No issues of ProxyPass on this machine.
I feel at least http://localhost:8000
should work so that I go ahead with installer and proceed.

Hi James,

Did you drop the old database before reinstalling the openacs package?

Cheers, Héctor

Just execute psql as the postgres user (for example), type \l, press enter, and see if the openacs database is still there. If needed, you can drop it with "DROP DATABASE openacs".

Now after I dropped the database things here proceeded

when I type in URL
http://192.168.1.5:8000

I can see following

OpenACS Installation: Error ____________________________________________________________

Thank you for installing the Open Architecture Community System (OpenACS), a suite of fully-integrated enterprise-class solutions for collaborative commerce.
This is the OpenACS Installer which performs all the steps necessary to get the OpenACS Community System running on your server.

Please read the Release Notes before proceeding to better understand what is contained in this release. The following database pools generated errors:
* OpenACS could not allocate a handle from database pool "pool1".
Possible causes might include:
* The database is not running.
* The database driver has not been correctly installed.
* The datasource or database user/password are incorrect.
* You didn't define any database pools.
The first step involved in setting up your OpenACS installation is to configure your RDBMS, correctly install a database driver, and configure AOLserver to
use it. You can download and install the latest version of the AOLserver Oracle and PostgreSQL drivers from the OpenACS.org Software Page.

Once you're sure everything is installed and configured correctly, restart AOLserver.
mailto:gatekeepers@openacs.org

This is a better error than previously getting redirected
to http://localhost:8000/openacs.openitup.in

I am able to now see the installer screen.
Let me know what here on I need to do.
