I just have a look in the Adaptor source, followed the WebObjectsRDocumentRoot value in the code to find that it is finally "used" in Adaptor/transaction.c during the call tr_handleRequest with : app.docroot = docroot; app.docroot isn't used to build the response as far as I can see.
Also you can start your app with WOApplicationBaseURL and WOFrameworksBaseURL to set a different location (non standard) for the WebServerResources of your application. so how the adaptor would handle that ? it can't... so WebObjectsDocumentRoot is useless but I still have it in webobjects.conf to /var/www/www.mydomainname.tld as the adaptor tries to set it. (it just need to be set to something) (WebObjectsAlias still being important) But in order to fix the "ERROR/NOT_FOUND" problem you have to look on WebObjects server side (not in Apache): In the $NEXT_ROOT/Local/Library/WebObjects/Applications/MySchool.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/ you need to have basicbrain.gif or any other resources. If not the application will generate html response with ERROR/NO_FOUND in the src URL which of course cause au 404 error for the http GET at the apache level. I hope this help regards Aurelien ps: I have made a documentation about the adaptor installation in French, it is available there: http://www.cocktail.org/downloads/documents/Mise_en_oeuvre_de_mod_WebObjects.pdf _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
