AOLserver for Debian
--------------------
This is the once well-known AOL web server. It is somewhat similar in functionality
to Zope (except based on Tcl). You might be interested in this package if you
are interested in creating your own collaborative or e-commerce website.
This is the same engine that America On-Line used to run for years until very recent
times, and should be more than adequate for most uses.
AOLserver is a joint effort of America On-Line and MIT. I highly recommend
that you install the companion "acs-pg" package to get the most out of it.
The basic post-install configuration script creates an /etc/aolserver4/aolserver4.tcl
configuration Tcl snippeti, whose settings can be partially changed by modifying
an usual /etc/default/aolserver4 file. Additional instances of the server
can be run by adding /etc/aolserver4/conf.d/<name>.sh files and a corresponding
/etc/aolserver4/conf.d/<name>.tcl Tcl script. Variables that can be set
in <name>sh are:
AOL_ADDRESS = IP address (default: main instance address)
AOL_PORT = port number (default: main port + 1)
AOL_USER = user-id (default: www-data)
AOL_GROUP = group-id (default: www-data)
RUN_DAEMON = yes | no (default: yes)
Note that the special address 0.0.0.0 can be used to bind the server to all
active ip addresses on all network interfaces.
All instances are loaded by the main init script when RUN_DAEMON is set to 'yes'
or can be disabled by setting to 'no' the same shell variable. AOLserver
pplications that use this approach are dotlrn or openacs.
