Seems like there's a lot of bit rot going on. Rest assured that it's still quite possible (and fairly easy) to set up a fresh WebObjects appserver from scratch on EC2. We use Amazon Linux 2—I can't vouch for CentOS or RedHat, though there shouldn't be anything that prevents it if you're wedded to one of those. What we use is a heavily customised version of the script posted by Simon McLean, possibly as long ago as 2010. I'm digging around in my local list archive: I can't see whether the script itself was ever posted, or whether it was just a link to an S3 bucket that seems to no longer exist (http://webobjects.s3.amazonaws.com/wo-install.sh <http://webobjects.s3.amazonaws.com/wo-install.sh>). I might be able to find the original somewhere, perhaps I can dig around in our repo. Meanwhile, the basic outline is very straightforward: 1. Download JavaMonitor and wotaskd as GZIP bundles from somewhere, e.g. wocommunity.org <http://wocommunity.org/>. 2. Download mod_WebObjects.so from somewhere—it's very easy to build your own binary on an EC2 instance and then you can just stash that somewhere. 3. Install Apache with yum. 4. Make the usual Apache config modifications for WebObjects. 5. Start Apache. 6. Unpack the GZIP bundles you downloaded at 1. 7. Start JavaMonitor and wotaskd. Obviously there's a lot of hand-waving going on there. But the takeaway is that you don't need to rely on ancient package versions of JavaMonitor and wotaskd—you can just pull them from the WOCommunity Jenkins. The rest of it is just scripting up the stuff you'd normally do to get them running on any Unix. Let me know if you need more help. -- Paul Hoadley https://logicsquad.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/logic-squad/
