Configure, compile and install AOLserver.�Many people need to run more than one version of AOLserver in parallel. This section accomodates future upgrades by installing AOLserver 4 in /usr/local/aolserver40r2.

[root aolserver]# cd /usr/local/src/aolserver40r2/aolserver
 [root aolserver]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver40r2 --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/
 [root aolserver]# make install
       cd /usr/local/src/aolserver40r2/aolserver
-./configure --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/
+./configure --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver40r2 --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/
 make install
 ln -s /usr/local/aolserver40r2 /usr/local/aolserver

If this is the only version of AOLserver in use, or is the default version, create a symlink. If not, then be sure to use /usr/local/aolserver40r2 instead of /usr/local/aolserver in future steps.

[root aolserver]# ln -s /usr/local/aolserver40r2 /usr/local/aolserver

Configure, compile and install the modules.�

Install nscache

[root aolserver]# cd /usr/local/src/aolserver40r2/nscache
 [root nscache]# make install

Install nsoracle (if you want to use Oracle)

[root nscache]# cd ../nsoracle
 [root nsoracle]# make install

Install nspostgres (if you want to use Postgres)
```
[root nsrewrite]# cd ../nspostgres
 [root nspostgres]# make install POSTGRES=LSB ACS=1 INST=/usr/local/aolserver40r2 
```
If you get errors like:
```
nspostgres.c: In function `Ns_PgTableList':
-nspostgres.c:679: warning: passing arg 3 of `Tcl_DStringAppend' as signed due to prototype
```
then PostGreSQL is probably not in the standard location. The location of PostGreSQL is very dependent on which method was used to install it. To correct the problem, replace LSB with the path to the path to your PostGreSQL installation. Often this is /usr/local/pgsql.
If you run into problems with libpq.a do the following (and repeat the step above)
```
[root nspostgres]# ranlib /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a
```
If you run into problems with the linker, edit the Makefile. Add -lnsdb to the MODLIBS var.
```
MODLIBS = -L$(PGLIB) -lpq -lnsdb
```
Install nssha1
```
[root nsrewrite]# cd ../nssha1
+nspostgres.c:679: warning: passing arg 3 of `Tcl_DStringAppend' as signed due to prototype
```
then PostGreSQL is probably not in the standard location. The location of PostGreSQL is very dependent on which method was used to install it. To correct the problem, replace LSB with the path to the path to your PostGreSQL installation. Often this is /usr/local/pgsql.
Another possibility is that you may need to set + the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable. You may + still get warnings, but sometimes this will fix things + enough to work.
```
[root nspostgres]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/lib
+              
```
You can use the + ldd command to verify + that all libraries are linked in: + ldd nspostgres.so +
If you run into problems with libpq.a do the following (and repeat the step above)
```
[root nspostgres]# ranlib /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a
```
If you run into problems with the linker, edit the Makefile. Add -lnsdb to the MODLIBS var.
```
MODLIBS = -L$(PGLIB) -lpq -lnsdb
```

Install nssha1

[root nsrewrite]# cd ../nssha1
 [root nssha1]# make

If the make fails you will have to edit nssha1.c. Comment out the following 2 lines (lines 139-140):

// typedef unsigned int u_int32_t;
 // typedef unsigned char u_int8_t;

Now install nssha1:

[root nssha1]# make install

Install tDOM

[root nssha1]# cd ../tDOM-0.7.8/unix

Edit the CONFIG file. Uncomment the instructions meant for AOLserver 4, but edit it to look like this:

../configure --enable-threads --disable-tdomalloc
           --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver40r2 --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib

Now you can compile and configure tDOM

Change startup script (optional).�If you want to run AOLserver on a port below 1024 (normally, for a webserver you will use 80), you will have to change the /var/lib/aolserver/service0/etc/daemontools/run script according to the documentation found there (namely: Add the -b yourip:yourport switch)
