Dennis - In my experience FQDN is definitely the way to go - make sure your apps, monitor, and wotaskd all have the exact same thing. Run nslookup or similar at the command line to make sure the name resolves to the IP address of the NIC on the box, and the IP address resolves back to the name that you're using as the WOHost parameter. A handful of additional thoughts:
1) have you made sure that your adaptor config correctly has the correct hostnames and ports for the wotaskd(s) it needs to know about? What does the adaptor config page tell you about what apache thinks the world looks like? (Apologies if you already covered that... I just caught the last couple of posts). 2) have you checked your launchd boot scripts for wotaskd and monitor (if that's how you are launching them) to make sure that you don't have alternative WOHost entries in there as command line arguments? (if they aren't there already, maybe try adding them there, to make sure that the values you want are getting picked up). 3) I had an issue today (and I noticed someone else post something similar recently in connection with SSD boot drives) that wotaskd and womonitor were binding to the loopback address (only) not the ones I was asking them to - apparently because the nics weren't properly initialized at the time the apps were starting up at boot time. For me, killing the two java processes manually and allowing launchd to restart them fixed the problem. They came back up on the correct interfaces, and the IP's matched what they were expecting, and all was good. Have you tried manually killing/restarting the processes after the machine has booted up? 4) FWIW, I generally specify the WOHost for my apps as an additional command line argument in the app config in WOMonitor, rather than in the properties file. You may want to try that. I know from experience how frustrating the dance is to get things to work right, but it's generally always worked out for me, and I am deploying apps on Lion Server just fine, with the Wonder versions of monitor and wotaskd.

Yes DNS works correctly with 'changeip -checkhostname'; put full host names in wotask and JavaMonitor Properties files; and still nothing works. This is the most frustrating part of WO on Lion Server, however, this has always just worked for us in the past. Greetings, Dennis. -- Simon J. Oliver MA (Cantab.)
