All I did was have her:

1. copy the existing database (it's Openbase)
2. change the name of the existing .woa
3. drop the new one into the same place
4. bounced the app in Monitor
It didn't run.
5. change one table from the old name to the new name (user to person) . . . I 
had forgotten to do that.
It claimed that it ran, then threw an exception (still looking for "user") then 
quit.
6. bounced the database in Openbase.
Still didn't run.
I then deleted the new .woa and the zipped version, and renamed the old ones to 
the correct name.
The old app ran and she could access it via the link.  No one can from the 
outside.

The url on the server is 
http://her-computer-name.local/cgi-bin/WebObjects/PlayhouseComedy.woa/1

This works on her machine.  It points to (via dynamic dns) a zoneedit domain.  
playhousecomedy.com is the domain.

This machine has been serving this site in this configuration for years, and I 
didn't create it and have never had to touch it.  I did at one point update WO 
to 5.4.3 and previously dropped in updated .woas (but not since I've gone to 
eclipse and WOLips)

She's running Tiger client, and would be willing to have me SSH in . . . if I 
knew how to open that up.
