Witango-Talk: Note to "Tiger-ites"

[Dale Graham]

I have been wrestling with getting the Witango server to work in  
Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), and finally stumbled on a note (in a non- 
Witango context) from someone who indicated there'd been some  
significant changes in httpd, and that you should check it out if you  
were having problems with your application. So I did and this fixed a  
problem that I'd been having that *looked* like it was a permissions  
problem but wasn't... possibly (see change 2)..

And you still need to have those final lines re the Witango plug-in  
installed...

Oh yes, and I made a few other changes that prevented the Apache  
server from running at all. Backing off to these two small changes  
fixed my problem but left me with a functional server... 8) [Always  
have a backup, eh?]

1] I changed this:
#
    # AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually  
editing it, or to
    # make certain files to be certain types.
    #
    AddType application/x-tar .tgz

to this:
   #
    # AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually  
editing it, or to
    # make certain files to be certain types.
    #
    AddType application/x-tar .tgz
    AddType application/witango-application-file .wws
    AddType application/witango-application-file .taf
    AddType application/witango-application-file .tcf
    AddType application/witango-application-file .tml

Because I noticed that the Panther httpd had the line
        AddType application/witango-application-file .wws
added to it at this place
2 ] And I changed this:
User www
Group www
to this:
User nobody
Group nobody
(this last was the setting in the Panther httpd and might relate to  
"permissions" type errors (??))

I would like to note that the J2EE servlet and its settings worked  
beautifully from the get-go and I did not have to tweak this at all.
