Openacs needs to be able to access a postgres database, and the
configuration process for openacs asks for:
- what host is the database on
- credentials to access that database

These errors indicate that the postgres credentials that openacs is
configured to use may be incorrect, or that communication with the
database is not fully set up.  (This might also indicate that the
database isn't configured for remote access, or that openacs is using
the wrong name or IP address for the database server).

That is almost certainly the issue here.  The Apache server will be
listening on port 80 for all IP addresses, including localhost (IP
address 127.0.0.1), unless it is explicitly configured not to.

The error messages indicate that the aolserver package is installing a
program that is also using (or at least attempting to use) port 80,
which causes the conflict.

For AOLserver, there may be at least the following options:
1: run the AOL server on its own port
2: configure Apache to recognise AOL traffic, based on the URL, and pass
it to the AOL server process


I don't use AOLserver or openacs, so don't know how to configure them to
use an alternative port (or hostname/IP address) to communicate :(
