[AOLSERVER] [ANNOUNCE] nsdqe pre-release 0.9
Hello. This is a beta pre-release (although it is used on production servers, some parts have been added - mostly dqeVh, so it is not quite tested yet). Download it from this URL: http://www.zoro2.org/dqe-0.9.tar.gz I hope some of you find this module interesting. Below is a short description. nsdqe is an AOLserver module for an ISP, or a widely vhosted webserver. It allows building complex websites using Tcl and AOLserver, as well as It was created by DataQuest Internet Technologies company in 2002. Our company uses it for building complex websites. Most commonly used aspects of nsdqe include: * dqeAsync- async multithreaded communication * dqeCache- two-level Tcl_Obj based cache'ing * dqeChan - channel transfer between threads * dqeEnc - Unicode and encoding handling * dqeParser - allows Tcl based ADP parser * dqePcount - simple page hit counter * dqeSess - a cookie-based session mechanism * dqeStat - Tcl based command statistics * dqeUtils- misc utility commands * dqeVh - name-based virtualhosting and filtering support * dqeVhStd- standard operations for vhosting and filtering -- WK (written at Stardate 56750.3) "Data typing is an illusion.

Re: [AOLSERVER] nsopenssl
Nope. I need to figure out how to get that info from OpenSSL properly and display it. Sounds like something for me to work on tomorrow. /s.

[AOLSERVER] nsopenssl
If nsopenssl is using openssl version 0.9.6g, is there a command that will display the version in that format?
[AOLSERVER] nsimage imported into SourceForge
Ayan George's nsimage module is now in AOLserver's SF area. I've tagged the initial code as 'v1_0beta1'. If I remember, I'll package it up and release it as nsimage-1.0beta1.tar.gz. /s. -- Scott Goodwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://scottg.net
[AOLSERVER] Oracle Driver update
Thanks to all who have provided the various versions of the oracle driver code. I've created a version geneology based on the Id tags in the different ora8.c files: 2.3 ora8.c: /* $Id: ora8.c,v 1.54 2000/09/09 02:37:04 mayoff Exp $ */ 2.4 ora8.c: /* $Id: ora8.c,v 1.55 2000/09/20 19:54:35 mayoff Exp $ */ 2.5 ora8.c: /* $Id: ora8.c,v 1.57 2001/01/05 17:26:10 davis Exp $ */ (BRANCH: 2.5-jcollins ora8.c: /* $Id: ora8.c,v 1.5 2002/05/26 13:40:31 jcollins Exp $ */) 2.6 ora8.c: /* $Id: ora8.c,v 1.59 2001/06/11 20:11:14 mayoff Exp $ */ 2.7 /* $Id: ora8.c,v 1.60 2001/09/19 03:10:36 mayoff Exp $ */ Looks like I can import from 2.3, then update all the way to what I'm calling 2.7 (I don't think there ever was an official 2.7 release). Jeremy based his extensive changes on version 2.5. Also, Jeff Davis posted a mod to, I think 2.5 -- reference http://ccm.redhat.com/bboard-archive/webdb/000d9f.html Unless anyone has any comments, updates or other suggestions, I'm going to import 2.3 and patch to what I'm calling 2.7, then attempt to patch Jeff's mod and then Jeremy's changes onto 2.7. If they take cleanly, great. If not, I'll probably ask Jeremy and Jeff to take a look and see if they can sort it out. One alternative is to simply create a branch after 2.5 that contains Jeremy's code, which he or someone else can then merge into the head branch. I'll wait a day for comments and suggestions. If anyone wants to get all the versions I currently have, they can do so by downloading http://scottg.net/download/nsora.tar.gz. /s. -- Scott Goodwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://scottg.net

I'd like to see the wiki become the canonical documentation for AOLserver, and being that it can be edited and updated by /anyone/ without any kind of "authorization" or "privilege" I was hoping that the lowered bar for entrance to contribution would have lead to more contribution. I was wrong. What is it about the wiki that makes people not contribute to it? It is just as much a resource for you (plural) as it is for me. As long as it's AOLserver-related material, I'd like to see it on the wiki somewhere. Anyone can then feel free to help refactor or otherwise reorganize the content if they feel it's necessary. > It is also easier for me to work with things in table format sometimes > - I can quickly tell which modules I need to port next, etc. Can you give a specific example of what you're talking about?

I like the Wiki and hope that people will update it and you will continue hosting it. I just didn't want to pollute it with my win32 related stuff, which I know many people on this list don't care about. It is also easier for me to work with things in table format sometimes - I can quickly tell which modules I need to port next, etc. I would be happy to copy any of my documentation that people find useful to a more official / central server.

Why move it if people aren't using it where it is? Moving it makes sense if the current situation is experiencing growing pains or can't grow to accomodate the need ... but when something has gone defunct, moving it just means more work for uncertain payoff.

I asked Scott to import nssha1 because it gets used by OpenACS in some places. I didn't know about your nspasswd module Oscar, but it sounds great. I'm going to try it out tonight.

This reminds me, if you have downloaded the latest nsadmin package from www.scriptkitties.com in the last few days, it includes a modified ns_sendmail package.

[AOLSERVER] AOLserver and Red Hat 8
Hi! With today's release of Red Hat 8.0 there are significantly excellent changes to Red Hat to make life with multithreaded programs, like AOLserver, more convenient. 1) gcc-3.2 is used exclusively throughout Red Hat 8.0. This means that C89, C99, C++, ANSI C++, and friends will work together in harmony as AOLserver shared objects. Please note that there is an inconsistency in the Red Hat 8.0 release notes that claims that the C++ ABI will change in future releaes, but this directly contradicts the actual GCC 3.2 release notes that state clearly that the C++ ABI will not change in future releases. If you're a C++ head be sure to watch out for this but it's probably as easy as keeping your code easy for other people to recompile. 2) Multithreaded program support is getting better and better! The top and ps commands now only display the main (initial) thread of thread-aware processes. To show all threads, use the command ps -m or type H in top. 3) gdb seems to know what it's doing with multithreaded programs and core dumps--I think the jury is still out on this one. 4) The version of Tcl does not have thread support enabled so AOLserver 3.5 users will need to build their own copy of Tcl with "--enable-threads --enable-shared". At runtime, AOLserver at this time does not "detect" that a proper version of Tcl with threads is installed but it's likely we can do this in a future release for all systems. 5) Long ago the default file descriptor limit on Linux was made configurable even if you don't have a 64-bit system. The default Linux installaion has about three zillion times more file descriptors than even Solaris 9. 6) ns_sendmail will work as long as you use "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" as your smtphost. Red Hat 8 only listens on localhost for security reasons. 7) OpenSSL should be rebuilt according to the documentation that comes with nsopenssl, otherwise nsopenssl will not recognize it. That's all I can think of right now. In the meantime, download Red Hat 8.0 and tell us what you think! Kris

Re: [AOLSERVER] Oracle Driver
Cool -- I just copied you on a response to Jeremy about his version -- he did a lot of reformatting of the code mostly, but did add one command. He suggested we leave his version out of the import, but add the new command he created in manually. Also, if we can get all the way back to 1.6, let's go 1.6 -> aD 2.6. I still want to unpack and confirm the versions and ordering, unless you've already done that and are confident you've sorted it out. /s.

Re: [AOLSERVER] Oracle Driver
I have oracle 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 all as released from aD. I checked and the copy of 2.6 at Eve's site and the OpenACS tarball are the same. I also have the version from Jeremy Collins which he called 2.6 and was based on the aD v2.5 but there are a lot of cosmetic changes and it is hard to figure out what should be folded in to the next version. The diff from aD 2.5 -> aD 2.6 is very small and easy to add to Jeremy's version but I am not sure how well his version has been tested. There is also a later version than the 2.6 release which Rob Mayoff had (which hopefully Rob or Andrew will send to me shortly which was ora8.c v 1.60 in the aD CVS). Also, there was a change that I never put into the released version since it was never clear to me what the right answer was (cf http://ccm.redhat.com/bboard-archive/webdb/000d9f.html ) I think what we should do is put up the 2.3 -> 2.6 sequence, then try to pull in anything else that might have been fixed elsewhere and make that 2.7beta. --Jeff
