For what it's worth, I usually put a soft link in Apache's document root (or in the WebObjects diretory in the document root) on my development machine pointing to the directory within my project directory that holds my web resources. This way, I can keep all the images, static HTML, CSS files, etc. right where they would have been had WODirectConnectEnabled been true and can do a normal split install when the time comes to deploy.

Regards,
Jerry

Well, I am just using build & run to test and debug my app on my local machine and that's just what it does. It runs the app on a random port. Is there a way to configure Xcode so it will not do that and I can still just build/run and debug like normal? I know that once I deploy this doesn't matter, but I am a way off from deployment and I would like to make the build/debug cycle as close to painless as possible, because I am sure I will need to do a lot of debugging between now and deployment. ;-)

DirectConnect evil.

Thanks Chuck.

For the record, I uncommented the wotaskd line in the WebObjects startup item, and then ran the item from the command line. I set - DWODirectConnectEnabled=false under Project -> Edit active executable in XCode. It looks like the developer tools installation took care of setting up the local apache installation for me. So I didn't have to change any config there.

Then I put my images inside the /Library/WebServer/Documents/images folder and set a base URL (http://powerbook.local/images/) in the HTML file so I didn't have to change all the image links generated by the HTML design program used by my designer.

Now I can simply cut and paste the html into a component, set the base, copy the images, and continue working.

Kevin
