Hello Group,
Sorry for cross posting in the dev list, but time is of the essence
and this list seems to be where the action is. I am having trouble
getting my first WebObjects app deployed.
Consultants wishing to make some money are welcome to contact me. I
need to get this app deployed by tomorrow 5/3/07.
I am using XCode and Mac OS X Server 10.4.9 and FrontBase on a G5.
I went into my project directory with the terminal and compiled the
project with . . .
sudo xcodebuild install -configuration Deployment DSTROOT=/
sudo xcodebuild install -configuration WebServer DSTROOT=/
MyApp.woa made it successfully to /Library/WebObjects/Applications
but there is no sign of WebServerResources in the /Library/WebServer/
Documents/WebObjects. (Need to move MyApp.woa to the folder
manually, Problem 1)
I launched the above app by dragging MyApp (executable) in the
MyApp.woa package to the terminal and hitting return. It runs. The
browser auto launches (not sure why) and the URL is
hostname.local:port/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa like a development
build. Any attempt to see it from the website's domain name fails.
I also get a JDBC Adaptor Exception when the database is queried.
(FrontBase Framework not available I expect, Problem 2)
wotaskd seems to be up and running (I can go to http://localhost:
1085/ and see the xml anyway).
Java Monitor is running.
DNS is good (to the router at least) in forward and reverse lookup.
I have no local network DNS service running. My server's hostname is
not localhost. /etc/hostconfig HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-. I remember
reading about some Server Monitor issue if you didn't have a local
DNS service and your hostname was different, but somehow (in my very
limited understanding of all things server) it didn't seem to apply
to my situation.
First try to setup the app with Java Monitor. . .
Java Monitor will only take the server's local IP as a Host. It
can't find the server if I try to add a host with the site's domain
name (that points to the router, that forwards port 80 to the server).
The WO app is setup and running (or at least Java Monitor says it
is), but . . .
Clicking the Instance link gets "No instance available"
http://<website>/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/1
Clicking the App name link gets "The requested application was not
found on this server"
http://<website>/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp
Clicking the IP address gets "Can't connect to the server"
http://<Local IP Address>:2001/
I also get "Deaths" showing up after it has been running for a short
time. No idea why. It is not like anyone is using it.
Second attempt. . .
I set the Router to pass port 1085 to my local server IP. Now I can
setup the site's domain name as a host in Java Monitor (and it shows
my outside IP address under the hostname), but I can't start an
instance. In Detail View the On / Off switch keeps going back and
forth.
Third attempt . .
I let the router get through to port 2001, where it seems to set the
first instance. Still no joy. Not surprising since the Status
switch in Detail View is still flipping on and off.
I don't know what to try next. I could use changeip and try to put
the hostname back to localhost, but I'm not sure how to use it. My
IP was DHCP, now it is static (changed maybe a month or so back).
I'm not sure which IP to give changeip or how I could possibly give
it a former DHCP address. I didn't run changeip when I went over
from DHCP to static. I don't know if that matters or not.
The first two problems I mentioned don't seem to apply to the larger
issue. I have a very standard configuration here. I'm not trying to
do anything fancy, just make a WO app with a few extra frameworks
available to the outside world.
Thanks for any assistance.
Scott
