Hi Peter,

Firstly, where should this feedback go? Should there be an "APLAWS Documentation"
mailing list?

Here are a few minor comments on "Creating a PostgreSQL account" on page 18:

1. Copy-paste of text is a bit dodgy. For example, when I copy "createuser -A
-D -P ccm", the hyphens are replaced by newlines as follows:

    createuser A
    D
    P
    ccm

Is this a Windows-only issue? I am using Acrobat Reader 8.1.2.

2. "createuser –help" should be "createuser --help" i.e. double-hyphen not
the long hyphen.

3. With Postgres 8+ you need to append "&protocolVersion=2" to the JDBC URL
to avoid the following loader error:

    2008-03-05 21:26:49,914 [19635] INFO  packaging.Loader - Running data loader
com.arsdigita.core.Loader
    java.lang.Error: error fetching path (this.parent.id): Bad value for type

            ...

Regards,
Terry

Hi Terry,

| Firstly, where should this feedback go? Should there be an
| "APLAWS Documentation" mailing list?

Currently there is no dedicated mailing list for documentation, and all the
existent different mailing lists are rarely used. Devel is the list for
everything.

| 1. Copy-paste of text is a bit dodgy.

works here (Fedora) without a problem. Maybe it is a windows problem or
an incompatibility between OpenOffice pdf generator and windows. I'll check
it as soon as possible.

| 2. "createuser –help" should be "createuser --help" i.e. double-hyphen not
the long hyphen.

corrected

| 3. With Postgres 8+ you need to append "&protocolVersion=2" to the JDBC URL
to avoid
| the following loader error:  ....

Most interesting. We don't need that additional parameter, running APLAWS 1.0.4
and postgresql 8.1 on a RHEL 5.0 system.

Which versions are you using? Can you verify that you don't use an older version
of the postgresql JDBC driver?

Nevertheless, I will add this to the troubleshooting section.


Thanks for the comments. I'll release a new version of the installation guide
shortly.

The guide are currently in OpenOffice (until I can spend time to set up a docbook
environment). I could send you the odt file so you can make additional
corrections.


Peter

Some more corrections:

1. On page 19, Oracle needs two extra privileges to be granted. We used:

GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, QUERY REWRITE, CTXAPP, JAVASYSPRIV, CREATE PROCEDURE,
CREATE TRIGGER TO ccm;


2. On Windoze, use "load-bundle ..." rather than "ccm load-bundle ..."
and "hostinit-bundle ..." rather than "ccm hostinit-bundle ...".


3. On Windoze, the stored procedures don't validate with Oracle because of CR/LF
problems. This is resolved by running the extra steps below before load-bundle.
Since this is ZIP installation documentation, I guess we're buggered although
I don't know why SVN contains files in Windows format :-(

prompt> cddev
prompt> find . -name "*.sql" -exec dos2unix {} ;
prompt> ant deploy
prompt> load-bundle --interactive --bundle aplaws-plus-complete

Yes, that is around the right way -- it's dos2unix not unix2dos!

Note: find.exe can be downloaded from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
and dos2unix.exe can be downloaded from http://www.bastet.com/.

Regards,
Terry
