When I use http://<servername>cgi-bin/WebObjects/<appname> I get a
404 error.
The webserver log has
“script not found or unable to stat: /Library/WebServer/CGI-
Executables/WebObjects”
First off, how did '.../cgi-bin/...' become '.../CGI-
Executables/...' ?
I've tried messing with my apache2 settings but I can't reproduce
your error.
Also, you mentioned apache.conf below so that leads me to wonder
what version of apache you're using?
That looks to me like the WebObjects DSO (mod_WebObjects.so) is not
being loaded and the CGI adaptor is being used instead; URLs .../cgi-
bin/WebObjects map to a CGI script WebObjects, and Apache on MacOSX
will find those by default in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables .
Older deployment documentation should have a recipe for diagnosing
whether the API adaptor (good) or the CGI adaptor (bad) is handling
requests.
Walk through your Apache main configuration file. At some point I
would expect it to be doing something like
# Including WebObjects Configs
Include /Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
(the apache.conf file you referred to) which might include some
LoadModule and AddModule directives. Are those directives present?
Is Apache actually reading your adaptor's config file?
Also Apache is traditionally sensitive to the order in which modules
are loaded ... you might see the CGI adaptor handling requests if
mod_cgi loaded after mod_WebObjects. I usually comment out the
LoadModule and AddModule directives in apache.conf and add
equivalents in exactly the location I want in the main Apache conf file.
Also: are you loading the module you think you are? On Snow Leopard,
Apache should be an i386/x86_64 universal binary, and unless you have
a really weedy ancient Mac (three year old MacMini, maybe) it'll be
running the x86_64 code, and that means all the modules (including
any you built) need ideally to be universal, or at a pinch the
architecture being run (most likely x86_64), and I have seen people
get this wrong and ignore the warnings from 'apachectl configtest'.
this is some lines from the apache.conf file
WebObjectsDocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents
WebObjectsAlias /cgi-bin/WebObjects
WebObjectsConfig http://localhost:1085 10
I can get to the wotaskd http://<servername>:1085 and using
localhost:1085
That's a good sign!
I cannot get to http://<servername>/cgi-bin/WebObjects/
WOAdaptorInfo I get a 404 error. I saw a post with this
“but the WOAdaptorInfo page was reporting nothing ... bingo”
I just need to know what “bingo” is. I know when I find out I am
going to say “dah, I should have known that”
I doubt that you can get to WOAdaptorInfo until you've resolved the
path issue above.
And you're going to need to enable it with a directive like:
WebObjectsAdminUsername public
(Note: this is the open to all version. There is an alternative of
user and password if you want to be more secure once you get things
working.)
