Re: [Slashcode-development] newbie question -Slash installation throws error about sections table missing, schema.sql has no reference to sections table

[Imtiaz A k. <kha...@gm...>]

Hi Shane,
Here's what I did :

   1. checked out the latest R tag from the CVS tree
          * cvs
            -d:pserver:ano...@sl...:/cvsroot/slashcode
            login
          * cvs
            -d:pserver:ano...@sl...:/cvsroot/slashcode
            co -P -r *R_2_5_0_94* slash
   2. removed older instances of the install by dropping the slashdb
      database and the /usr/local/slash directory as well as removing
      the Include statements from Apache.
   3. did a make followed by make install
   4. did a install-slashsite -u virtuser
   5. added Include to Apache and restarted Apache
   6. started slash

Now the problem I am facing are:

    * I dont have a sections table in slashdb
    * I dont have a sections.pl
    * subsequently if I go to edit a section I get the 404 "/The
      requested URL (sections.pl?op=list) was not found."/

I am assuming that I should be selecting the sections plugin in the list 
of plugins when prompted to do so, but you were categorical about not 
doing so. Please advise if I should answer 'a' when asked the question 
/"Hit 'a' to select all, otherwise select comma separated numbers or 'q' 
to quit" /or 'q' during install-slashsite

Thanks a lot for your help I'm sure it's just a little more effort and 
I'll be able to make subdomains and get to using slashcode to run my 
websites.

Warm Regards
Imtiaz
