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.

What URL are you using to run Monitor? Is wotaskd running? Which version of OS X?

OSXS 10.4.6, we have Monitor set to run on another port, but it shows up fine. I assume that if I'm able to hit Monitor, then wotaskd must be running, right?

That depends on what the URL looks like. If it is a direct connect URL (http://www.domain.com:12345) then it tells you nothing about wotaskd

No, I use the http://my.server.edu:PORT/ to get to Monitor.


There was nothing in /var/log/webobjects, so I rm'd it, then sudo touch logwebobjects, but still nothing.
You should
sudo touch /tmp/logWebObjects
Then look for
/tmp/WebObjects.log

I did that, and nothing shows up. I mean the file WebObjects.log is NOT there.

Was that after you tried to access the apps a few times (even if they are not running). wotaskd only logs when requests arrive.

I can't get the app running to begin with. But, I did try to hit it with the default DA just to see if I'd get any log output in /tmp/ WebObjects.log, or if it would even create the file to begin with, but nothing still. /tmp is root:wheel, 777 BTW.


Make sure you have the right case and directories.

Yup, it's correct. I did just submit another response to my original post asking about the correct permissions. Every time I go through something like this, I'm reminded to "check into this whole permissions thing in an effort to determine why I no longer get any output from anything related to WO or these apps..." type thing, and then the crisis goes away pretty quick (usually), and other things come up, and...

:-)


Restarts haven't helped. Monitor seems to be completely unresponsive. Where should I start?

1. Is wotaskd running?
sudo lsof -i tcp:1085

Gives me this:

[deployment1:~] mladmin% sudo lsof -i tcp:1085
Password:
COMMAND PID      USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java 44 appserver 7u IPv6 0x02c5c820 0t0 TCP [:: 127.0.0.1]:49160->[::127.0.0.1]:webobjects (ESTABLISHED) java 45 appserver 4u IPv6 0x02c5b9e0 0t0 TCP *:webobjects (LISTEN) java 45 appserver 7u IPv6 0x02c5c658 0t0 TCP [:: 127.0.0.1]:webobjects->[::127.0.0.1]:49160 (ESTABLISHED)

Looks like it is running as pid 45.  44 is probably JavaMonitor



2. What has changed on the server? Something has been changed or upgraded or something.

Absolutely nothing. I had to take it down over the weekend as part of an infrastructure upgrade with switch's and the like, but no configuration changes, software updages, or additions were made.

They may have been made earlier without rebooting the machine.

Where there any IP address changes? Is is possible the domain name for the server and its IP address are not being resolved correctly?

No, no IP or domain or directory changes. Nothing shows up in the logs like ....use changeip to resolve..., which would be typical under a changed host name or IP addy. Forward and reverse lookups work as expected.


3. Out of disk space?

Nope.

4. Try starting the apps from the command line, does that work?

I get a bunch of output, but can't get to them.

Now try starting them with the launch args from JavaMonitor, if you were not previously. Then try launching them as the appserver user.

Can you explain more on how to do this? I"m not sure I understand which args, or how to set the specific process user from within Monitor. I know you can use the place where I specify WOHost, but that's about it. Sorry.


5. Look in Monitor to see where the apps are writing their log files. Does appserver have write permissions there still?

I don't know, or I should say I'm not sure.

From what  you have said, this would be the /tmp directory.



6. If you have not, make these SpawnOfWotaskd.sh changes and see if there are any early startup failure messages: http://www.gvcsitemaker.com/gvc.webobjects/ faq&mode=single&recordID=41413&nextMode=list

7. http://www.gvcsitemaker.com/gvc.webobjects/ faq&mode=single&recordID=19193&nextMode=list

OK, I'll try this and get back to you. Thanks as always Chuck. Be back soon I'm sure;-)

OK  :-)
