1: Server startup failed: Error during bootstrapping
Posted by jorge freitas on 03/26/03 03:59 PM
I'm trying to install dotlrn, but i received an error message during the bootstrapping and I'm not sure what is causing it or what to do it. I've included my log file below and would really appreciate it if any of you could help me figure out the problem. I'm using postgresql 7.2.3, aolserver 3.3+ad13 and openacs 4.6 in a machine whith redhat 8.0.I'm following the installation instrutions given in the openacs website.

http://litli.net is the instance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if something happened to Iuri or not. He lives in Brazil. He has helped me with this instance for years. It's a bit unusual for him not to respond, by now. I've been emailing him for several weeks, now with no response. I trust he's ok.

The problem was a general communication problem between the webserver and the DB ("failed to open database..."), probably after some upgrades . The pg driver was compiled with PostgreSQL 10, but refused to work with PostgresSQL 13 on this installation.

Gustaf wrote in a mail:
maybe, this is the problem.

Let us recompile the DB driver:
cd /usr/local/src/modules/nsdbpg
export PG=/usr/include/postgresql
make
make install

and restart the instance.

Now we see;
[07/May/2021:18:51:49][32715.7fbbca3c1740][-main:litli-] Notice: nsdbpg: version 2.4 loaded, based on PostgreSQL 13.2 (Ubuntu 13.2-1.pgdg18.04+1) and libbpq 130002

and the error from above is gone.

There is later some error

[07/May/2021:18:51:49][32715.7fbbca3c1740][-main:litli-] Error: Error sourcing /var/www/litli/packages/acs-tcl/tcl> /site-nodes-procs.tcl:

which hints at a version mismatch ...
The function "with_catch" is deprecated and not called by recent code.
You should know better than me, why this is used.
In the NaviServer config file of this site
/usr/local/ns/config-litli.tcl you find the following section, where the deprecated code can be activated.

ns_section ns/server/${server}/acs {
ns_param NsShutdownWithNonZeroExitCode 1
# ns_param WithDeprecatedCode 0
# ns_param LogIncludeUserId 1
#
}

The site seems to work despite this error.
