Hi Jeff,
I’ve had troubles like this before and they are always a pain to figure out.
It’s like a stray semicolon in your code and you wonder why it doesn’t compile
but can’t see it with your own eyes.
Hmmm… yeah. Ok, but if the apps are launching just not communicating with
wotaskd, etc. then there is still something here. Since it looks like you ruled
out reverse lookup being a problem it still could be a subtle change in
httpd.conf for server name, or something like that. See this copy of an old
post below:
