Read the Installing Monitors section of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the ACS. It will teach you how to install programs that will monitor your web server and take actions in case something goes wrong. It is written for ACS/Oracle, but it can be easily adapted to OpenACS (except for Cassandracle). We intend to “port” those documents to OpenACS in the near future.
See Backup Tips from Don Baccus , in the OpenACS Getting Started Guide.
You should be aware that the e-commerce module makes use of the ImageMagick suite of graphics manipulation programs to generate picture thumbnails, especifically the convert program. Unfortunately the path to this program is hard-coded into the OpenACS code and this path may not match where your copy of convert is installed.
To find out where your convert is and make a symlink from it to where OpenACS thinks it is installed, do the following:
# which convert /usr/X11R6/bin/convert ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/convert /usr/local/bin/convert |
