Thanks for all your help Chuck,
Yes, it does require the port number in the URL.
Then it is not going through wotaskd normally.
*gulp* What did we do wrong...
I don't know, but something strange is happening.
Adding WOHost localhost in System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects/
WebObjects didn't work.
That was '-WOHost localhost' with a hyphen (-), right?
I then added it in the other place (now both places have the WOHost
argument), but to no avail. I noticed the first method is WOHost
localhost and the other one (in Properties) is WOHost=localhost. Is
that right?
Yes, sorry. It has been a long Monday. The one in properties should
be WOHost=localhost
Here's the log from WebObjects.log (PS - I tried doing that a while
ago but couldn't get the dang log file to appear even after several
attempts to connect to the app... but this time, it worked!)
You probably do not have the sudo before. That is needed.

OK, that looks like your problem. I think this means that the user
that Apache is running under does not have permissions to read
/Library/WebObjects/Configuration/SiteConfig.xml
But that in itself is odd, as it should be talking to wotaskd on port
1085, not trying to read this itself. OK, let's take a step back.
First, look in apache.conf which should be included in your
httpd.conf with a line like this:
Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache/apache.conf
In there, should be a line like this:
# For localhost:
WebObjectsConfig http://localhost:1085 10
I am guessing that this is missing or commented and that you are
instead using this:
# File Configuration
# The apache module gets its configuration from one file
# WebObjectsConfig file://<path-to-a-xml-config-file> 10
You don't want to use the file option, use the URL one. Like that,
you may still get a perms error if wotaskd is running as appserver,
but a quick chown will fix that. If the script is launching wotaskd
as root, well, no problems. :-)
Finally, some wotaskd logging might shed some light. Check in /var/
log/webobjects.log
Debug: Checking config /tmp/WebObjects.xml
Debug: stat call failed on /tmp/WebObjects.xml (errno=2)
I don't recall what that config file is for.
Error: Request handling error: The requested application was not
found on this server.
Because of the Operation not permitted, I tried to chmod 777 the
files and folders in /Library/WebObjects/Configuration/ where the
Site and WOConfig xml files are, but it still gives me the same
thing. The log only records all this when I try to connect to the
app in question (I guess that's to be expected).
The permission lacking may be access to the directory as well as to
the file.
Hopefully it will give you an idea of what the problem could be. I
can't say how thankful I am for your time and help!
I don't know if I have gotten you any closer, but you are most
welcome.

Regarding the launch of wotaskd, JavaMonitor and Wotaskd were set
to launch on system startup by removing #s in a configuration
file (we're running MacOSXServer10.3.9), we do everything in
JavaMonitor. We also added the WOConfig.xml file with instances
specs. I'm not sure if I'm actually launching wotaskd with -
WOHost=localhost, but I did include it in the only place I know
in JavaMonitor, the Additional Arguments in the Application
settings where we also set the password.
Perhaps this is our problem... How does one set -WOHost=localhost
on wotaskd launch (is there a way to configure it on system
startup)? Does it require the command-line in Terminal?
You can set this in a few different ways. One is to edit the file
/System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects/WebObjects
And add it to the wotaskd line like this
"$WOSERVICE" -appPath "$WOTASKD" -WOHost localhost >/var/log/
webobjects.log 2>&1 &
Another is to edit
/System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/Contents/
Resources/Properties
And add
-WOHost localhost
Wotaskd (or the machine :-) needs to be restarted after you do this.
Once we deploy on our public server (with a real host address,
not localhost), I guess there won't be any need to specify
WOHost, will there?
Not if that name is the default name for that server. If there
are multiple names that resolve to the same machine, then you might.
With our current experience and all, we don't want to try it on
our public server, so there's no way for us of knowing if the
problem is actually making it work on a localhost or making it
work at all... We know it's probably just one little thing in our
config, we just can't seem to pinpoint it.
See if the above works. Also you can try
sudo touch /tmp/logWebObjects
and then look at
/tmp/WebObjects.log
to see if the woadaptor has anything useful to say on the matter.
