Re: problem with deploying wo application

Hi Beru,

There is a file

/usr/local/Apple/Local/Library/WebObjects/Configuration/SiteConfig.xml

In  that  file,  search  for "<password" (without quotation marks) and
delete  the  whole line. You have to stop wotaskd and womonitor on all
machines  involved  in  your  setup  _before_  doing  this and restart
everything afterwards.

I  am  not sure but you could try to move your application to a folder
without   any   hyphens   and   spaces   in   the   whole  path  (like
.../HelloWorld-0.1-20040311-101639/...).

Next,  you  can  try  to  set  "-WODirectConnectEnabled  YES"  in  the
application  configuration, then you can try to access the application
directly via the port to check if this works.


What I find strange is that your URL looks like this:

> http://<name>/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HelloWorld.woa/-1056

Normally  the  port  starts  with  2000  and  is  then counted upward.
However,  the  port  never  shows  up in a real deployment because the
webserver  adaptor  (in  conjunction  with  wotaskd) selects the right
instance and routes requests to it. The URL should look like this:

  http://<name>/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HelloWorld

Are you sure you are starting your application from within Monitor and
not (manually) from the command line?
