OK, I replaced the Bonjour names in the apache adaptor config with IP addresses and configured those Leopard hosts with their IP addresses instead of their Bonjour addresses in WOMonitor ..... so the WOMonitor machine is no longer speaking French to the Leopard XServes.

Thanks for the advice Chuck .... hopefully the next 7 days will prove this to be more reliable. :-)

If not you can try adding -WOHost ip.address to wotaskd properties or launchd config

Hi All,

I recently upgraded 2 WebObjects-only XServes to OS X Leopard server and the single XServe that runs apache/WebObjects and WOMonitor is still on Tiger.

Since the upgrade I occasionally get situation where WOMonitor gives the message:

Failed to contact omega1.local-1085


where  omega1 is one of the servers running WO apps only.

Restarting everything will usually fix the problem, but as you can imagine this is problematic. I really need to get to the bottom of it.

All apps are WO 5.3.3 fully embedded apps.

Anyone got any ideas on where to start?

..... Or, what is the root cause behind the message above? ...... or what can I check to see what is wrong the next time it happens (which is right now for one of the Leopard servers) before doing the reboot fix.

That means JavaMonitor could not talk to the wotaskd process on omega1.local. As an aside, I'd suggest not using Rondezvous, Bonjour, or other French technology host names.. :-P They always seem problematic for me. This error can mean it can reach the host on the network, that wotaskd is listening to 1085 on a different hostname, that the server was busy and the request timed out, that wotaskd was busy, or there was a hiccup somewhere along the line. Often this error happens once or twice then goes away.
