Hi!
After spending all my afternoon trying to do this, I'm requesting
the help of the more illuminated ones! :)
I want to do something that should be simple: deploy two different
apps, each one in it's virtual host. I want each app to be accessible
on it's virtual host, but not the other. So, I did the following:
1) According to this <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/
WebObjects/Deployment/Deploying_Applications/Deployment/
chapter_6_section_8.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000064-BCIFHCBB> I
launched two instances of WOTaskD and two instances of WOMonitor.
Here are the four launch deamon files (BTW, the platform is 10.4.7
Server):

2) I changed the WebObjects apache configuration file, and set the
following (the real names are masked, of course):
WebObjectsConfig http://vhost1.pt:1085,http://vhost2.pt:1086 10
3) I configured and created the virtual hosts in apache, of
course! :)
Apparently, the combination between WOTaskDs and WOMonitors work
fine. On each monitor I see different stuff, so I suppose they are
not colliding with each other. I configured the first app on the
first monitor, and the second app on the second monitor.
The result is really strange. The first app may be accessed on
either virtual host (ie, vhost1.pt/cgi-bin/WebObjects/app1 and
vhost2.pt/cgi-bin/WebObjects/app2). The second app never starts. When
I turn the switch on, the switch stays forever going from Off to On,
but no process is lauched. I tried to manually launch the process,
and it works, but I cannot access the app from anywhere, except a
direct connection to its port. I tried to turn the app off using the
second WOMonitor (that was still with the switch flipping from Off to
On, and then the switch became flipping from Off to On eternally.
Looks like the second WOMonitor is not working very well.
I searched on the net, and I actually found no one saying "well, I
*have* this working". Just stuff like "try this" and "try that", and
no answers from the original posters saying "it worked, thanks". I'm
starting to think that this doesn't actually work, so, I ask you:
could anybody make this setup successfully? How? What's the secret?
Can you post here the relevant configuration files? Please? :)
Yours
