Hi!

That usually happens when a Startup Item is installed with the wrong preferences. When you log-in graphically on the machine, a dialog will appear asking you to fix the permissions. If you choose to Fix, the machine fixes them, and restarts.

This didn't happen. I mean the dialogue asking me to fix the permissions. The perms are actually assigned to appserver, and that would seem correct. I know the .plist file should be owned by root/ wheel with rw r r perms, which it is.

What is important is to find out WHY did the UID and GID changed... apparently someone changed them somewhere after the last startp, and you server, by some reason, crashed and restarted itself on the weekend (check uptime). And WO service did not start because of wrong permissions.

  At least it's what I can guess from that log message!

Some more info:

I'm getting this in system.log:

Jun 5 13:03:55 deployment1 SystemStarter[117]: "/System/Library/ StartupItems/WebObjects/WebObjects" failed security check: not owned by UID 0 Jun 5 13:03:55 deployment1 SystemStarter[117]: "/System/Library/ StartupItems/WebObjects/WebObjects" failed security check: not owned by GID 0

and when I hit wotaskd by http://my.server.com:1085 I get:

Attempt to call Direct Action: defaultAction on wotaskd with incorrect password.

Still nothing showing up in any of the logs. As a related question, what should the permissions be on the webobjects log file at /var/log/? and what about the instance log files? I set everything to output to /tmp in Monitor, but nothings showing up there either, and I'm thinking it's maybe a permissions issue. Just currious. Thanks.

This morning I started my week with all our production apps down. I'm able to log into Monitor, but when I try to start instances, the lever keeps going and going, no deaths, and I can't move it beyond this state. There was nothing in /var/log/webobjects, so I rm'd it, then sudo touch logwebobjects, but still nothing. Restarts haven't helped. Monitor seems to be completely unresponsive. Where should I start?
