I tried just turning DirectConnect off, and I can't connect to the instance (as Guido intimated). I am on Leopard, but am using WO5.3, and I have WOHost=localhost in my wotaskd properties file.

I then tried setting the port to a specific number (11351) with DirectConnect off, but the browser still came up specifying port 80 and didn't connect to my app instance. I then turned DirectConnect back on and my app came up on the specified port. However, with DirectConnect on, when I specify port 80 I get an error on launch that the port is already in use. I do have web sharing turned off. So, in the end I still can't bring my app up on port 80 to test my cookie code. Anything I missed trying?

Thanks,
Jeff

I think that is a networking issue. Art (or someone) posted this a while back:

I think that was the problem with webobjects starting too early or too fast in the boot process. This won't happen on my test machine (dual G4 867MHz). ;-)

Grin.  Yeah, that probably won't be your problem.


Does yours have that?

Yes, it is in there. I'm on Leopard, using WO 5.4 for testing / writing some stuff and WO 5.3 for production work. It happens on both systems so I think it is either the Adaptor or wotaskd.

It sounds like maybe the adaptor is caching the wotaskd config. Hmmm, yes.

# The apache module gets its configuration from the wotaskds
# listed on the configuration line
# For multiple hosts:
# WebObjectsConfig http://<name-of-a-host>:<port-on-a-host>,http:// <name-of-another-host>:<port-on-a-host> <interval>
# For localhost:
WebObjectsConfig http://localhost:1085 10

I think that means it checks for an update to the config every 10 seconds.


Launching both wotaskd and the app with -WOHost localhost has always fixed these sorts of problems for me. Does this no longer work on 5.4?

Not for me. I will give it a try tonight again with this setting. What solved the problem on my test machine was setting a specific port.

I will guess that it is finding the configuration from a previous launch, as the port number has not changed, this still works.

For random port, always the first access failed, when I reload a couple of times, it works eventually, or if I wait for a while - than it works too.

How long is  while, about 10 seconds?


I always do that too, mostly so I can make bookmarks.

Yeah, but if you run into that problem with a "clean" machine (just installed) and a Hello World program - this is real shit as it frustrates beginners to no end.

Agreed, not a good situation.


And it's pain in the *beeep* to get log output from the WO Adaptor ... :-(

Worse in 5.4?

I actually never tried on Tiger ... ;-)

What is the idea of having to touch TWO files to actually get log output?

Two files?  Which two files?
