Forum OpenACS Q&A: fail to register too. any ideas anyone?

I have loaded AOLserver3.0  : seems ok, serves adp & tcl & reads pgdb
my datamodel.txt shows no errors --- it took a long time to load
startup log shows 2 or 3 errors
one I think had to do with user groups


Problems are
1) login only works when specifying the index.tcl file

2) when trying to log in as a valid user ( not a new user)
   script fails with the following:
   Error:/tcl/user_group_defs.tcl:function ug_serve_group_pages:first
   element in url list is not [ad_parameter GroupsDirectory ug]

   I also notice that this call logs a notice showing the url
   but mine is "/" ; that is nothing but a slash

3) In addition, startup nsd.tcl looks for a directory that has not 
   been created for redirection.  
   
   any help would be appreciated. I'm a little stumped.

Here are the detailed log files in the order they were created.

The config path below can't be correct can it. I put that notice in myself.
