It's perplexing.

I get in a circle of thought where I think Monitor must be running, because it presents the login form and returns the password error. But at the same time I can't find it's process running anywhere. So at this point I'm not even sure if Monitor is running at all!

Ya, it is difficult to tell from the process listing that JM is running. Use "sudo lsof -i tcp:<port number>" instead, where <port number> is JM's port number (default is 56789 IIRC).


I've tried shutting down the WebObjects service from server admin, which does not kill in the instances. So, I shut down the instances via kill -9 . I tried the command you suggested (losf -i tcp:1085) but that returned nothing. That seems to return nothing regardless if the WebObjects service is running or not - so maybe that clues you into what my problem is. If I point a browser to http://localhost:1085 (while in Remote Desktop) that does return the service's configuration in HTML format.

Damn, forgot that lsof is permission-sensitive. Use "sudo" at the beginning: sudo lsof -i tcp:1085


Anyway, after shutting down the instances I then went ahead and edited the SiteConfig.xml and removed the password (which appeared to be a Hex string? - 076CFF12B1C58819436A45BDF433E7D35CCA) from the site element.

Restarted the WebObjects service - all the instances came up normally but I'm still at the same point with the password issue. Not sure what to try next (besides reinstalling OS >:) ).

That is very strange indeed. Try rebooting just for fun, then double check that the file doesn't still have the password. If it doesn't, and you're still not able to get in, shut down WO services from Server Admin and then post to the list the complete output of "ps auxwww".


Thanks for your help,

Jon

ps I hope you guys start on your next book soon, the first one was excellent!


Thanks. It appears, however, that writing one book is enough to keep us busy for quite some time! :-)
