Re: Tiger + WO5.2.4 update and wo adaptor not getting requests

Chuck,

How can I tell if mod_webobjects is being loaded? Wouldn't the apache error 
log say something if it wasn't?

I have looked at /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache/apache.conf but 
don't really know what I am looking for. The first line of this file says:
# WebObjects 4.5.1/5: Enable the WebObjects module

One thing I did notice was different to the old version of this file is 
that it doesn't have the AddModule line after the LoadModule, but when I 
added this apache just said it had already been added and was therefore 
ignoring it.

A message I do get in the apache log when starting up is:
Cannot remove module mod_WebObjects.c: not found in module list

On an app access attempt I get:
script not found or unable to stat: 
/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebObjects

If none of the above gives the game away, I'm not familiar with what a cgi 
adaptor is or how to check it but I will do some research.

Thanks, John
