Hi folks,
it's been a while since I last deployed a WO app, and I'm having
some grief with it. I'm developing using Xcode 2.4.1 / Mac OS X
10.4.10 (although 10.4.9 was doing the same), and deploying on Mac
OS X Server 10.4.10 (again no better or worse with MOSXS 10.4.9).
The app's EOModels connect to MySQL locally, and (perhaps
importantly) the app doesn't use any WebServerResources - it just
sticks in the URLs of things already in the Apache document root
(eg. css file, images etc.).
The apache document root is _not_ /Library/WebServer/Documents/ in
case that is relevant to the following discussion.
Basically in development mode on my powerbook, it all works fine
(either to the local MySQL clone on the powerbook, or to the
production database on the web server).
If I build it (from within Xcode) as Deployment, and try to start
up instances of that within Monitor, they die.
The same happens if I instead do a
sudo xcodebuild install -configuration Deployment DSTROOT=/
... and copy that, make instances of that etc..
And again the instances still die if I do a
sudo xcodebuild install -configuration WebServer DSTROOT=/
... and copy that (into either <apache's document root>/WebObjects/
or into /Library/WebServer/Documents/WebObjects/)
I'm guessing I shouldn't even need to do the '-configuration
WebServer' build if there aren't any actual project specific web
server resources, but figured I ought to try to appease the WO
Gods, even if it is with empty offerings. There actually isn't a
WebServerResources subfolder made within myApp.woa/Contents/, but
even if I add an empty 'WebServerResources' here the instances
still die.
In Monitor, the URL to Adaptor is set to 'http://www.mydomain.com/
cgi-bin/WebObjects'.
I can't help thinking I'm missing something obvious, but any help
would be gratefully appreciated! I've read the WO Deployment Guide
from cover to cover (several times!) and also the Monitor help
(ditto), but can't see anything suspicious, they just die :(
Thanks in advance,
Ken

Did you solve your problems with this?
I suspect the crux of the problem is your non-standard apache root.
Xcode is not very intelligent about how it handles these things.
There are usually variables one can set in the project that get
around the issues, but it is sometimes not clear what those options
might be.
What was the output when the app crashed? You may have to set the
output log directory parameter to get this. The output would help
identify the nature of the problem.
