General

• AOLserver isn't running from inittab
  You've got the inittab stuff set up correctly, but it won't start, and there's nothing in the error log? Run it manually from the command line:
  % sudo /home/nsadmin/bin/nsd-oracle -i -c /home/nsadmin/izyxdev.ini
  And hopefully you'll get a decent error message.

• Chrooting AOLserver
  To run AOLserver in a chroot environment, see chroot.html

• Doing something with each element in an ns_set
  

  while { [ns_db getrow $db $selection] } {
      set page [list]
      for { set i 0 } { $i < [ns_set size $selection] } { incr i } {
          set key [ns_set key $selection $i]
          set value [ns_set value $selection $i]
          ...
      }
  }

• Fixing a crashing AOLserver
  See the Fixing Crashing Servers document.

• How can I see what errors I'm making?
  Viewing the last 2048 bytes of the error log from the admin page is a real pain in the neck (especially if multiple folks are using the same AOLserver for development).
  I open a new shell in emacs(or you can use an xterm or whatever, but I like being able to search through the spew) and do this:
  % tail -f /home/nsadmin/log/sitename-error.log

• Making ADPs stream like .tcl files
  Put this at the start of the ADP:
  <script runat=server stream=on></script>

• Restarting AOLserver
  Ways to restart an AOLserver:
  • Use the Restart command on the admin page. (this may take some time if there are still connections being serviced)
  • If you've got access to the machine, run
    /usr/local/bin/restart-aolserver service-name
  • If you don't have access (or don't want to log in), you can also evaluate
    exit
    In the ad-hoc Tcl evaluation window.

Oracle

• Dealing with OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO error
  If folks see 'Error: OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO', they need to upgrade to the 1.0.3 driver.

Perl

• How do I slurp all of the IP addresses used in /home/nsadmin/*.ini
  make a perl script like this, and call it like
  % blah.pl /home/nsadmin/*.ini

  while (<>) {
      if (/^address=([0-9.]*)/i) {
          $addresses{$1} = 1;
      }
  }
  
  foreach (sort keys %addresses) {
      print "$_, ";
  }
