[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] new installation question about client

[Metcalf, Steve]

Jason,

Adding the new link fixed the version number conflict.

After logging in, I clicked the Open New Window Client, with this result:

1281730914726	delta = 15	D_ERROR
!! This software has encountered an error.  Please tell your friendly system administrator or software developer the following:\nmenu_frame.xul\nTypeError: obj.data.hash.aous is undefined\n


About the symbolic link - the server installation instructions had this

cd /openils/var/web/xul
ln -sf rel_1_6_1_1/server server

but I don't see any sign that /openils/var/web/xul/rel_1_6_1_1/server exists.

Steve

Hi Steve,

When you installed Evergreen, it probably created a time-stamped
directory in /openils/var/web/xul/

You'll need to symlink to that directory with an identifier expected
by the staff client.  By convention, the staff clients distributed on
evergreen-ils.org are looking for identifiers like rel_1_6_1_1,
rel_1_6_0_6, etc., corresponding with the tag name in Subversion.

So if you have something like this:

opensrf at dev140:/openils/var/web/xul$ ls
20100318.133218

Then you'd want to issue the command:

ln -s 20100318.133218 rel_1_6_1_1

I'd suggest following up with on the mailing list if needed so that
others can learn/pitch in.
