Hi all,
This is the very first time I'm attempting to get AOLServer compiled and
going on Linux, after failing miserably using Solaris 8.
Have just installed a Linux Mandrake 8.0 system, and am attempting to
get AOLServer running on it. Are there any known issues with AOLServer
and Mandrake Linux 8.0? This is a Linux Kernel 2.4.3 SMP machine if
that has any bearing on the situation.
Have followed this set of instructions :
a) Uncompressed the AOLServer 3.3.1 tar.gz archive to a temporary
location
b) Using an everyday, normal user, entered this directory and did
"gmake" (no problems there), then "gmake install", then "gmake
install-tests"
c) Created the nsadmin group, created the nsadmin user, having it's
default group also be nsadmin
d) Did chown -Rh nsadmin.nsadmin /usr/local/aolserver
e) su - nsadmin
f) Entered /usr/local/aolserver and copied sample-config.tcl to
config.tcl
g) (Here's the problem) Attempted to start AOLServer using :
./bin/nsd -ft ./config.tcl
A bunch of foreground startup messages, including these 4 lines :
[15/May/2001:23:42:24][23259.1024][-main-] Error: nssock: failed to
listen on 63.12.31.202:8000: Cannot assign requested address
[15/May/2001:23:42:24][23259.3076][-nssock-] Notice: nssock: starting

connections
[15/May/2001:23:42:24][23259.3076][-nssock-] Notice: exiting
Anyone have any ideas to solve this and get AOLServer working properly?
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
