You need to "lipo" Apache, etc. Here are instructions (again) ...

Note that this works for both Server and Client, but the absolute
addresses given here are for CLIENT. You need to ensure that you are
using the right addresses for SERVER.

WitangoServer for Intel Macs requires Apache 2.2+, but Leopard uses
Apache 2.2.6+ and that version does not support the Witango module,
which is designed for earlier versions of 2.2. Furthermore, I couldn't
get earlier 2.2 versions of Apache to run on Leopard.
(Stole some ideas from http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/blog/2007/running-fogbugz-on-leopard
and then modified as needed for Witango)
The problem was that I was getting a "module" error, and an indication
that it needed to be re-worked - apparently for 64-bit. ... this
method strips 64-bit-ness from Apache 2.2.6
************************
1] Workaround for 64 bit ***server note: be sure that httpd is IN /
usr/sbin - might have a different location ***
cd /usr/sbin
sudo cp httpd httpd-fat <=== (creates httpd backup)
sudo lipo httpd -thin i386 -output httpd
Quote from website above:
"After making a backup of the httpd executable for safety purposes,
the lipo commands sucks out all of the architectures included in the
universal binary except the 32-bit Intel one (specified by “i386″).
Apache can’t run as 64-bit if it doesn’t have a 64-bit binary!"
Note from DEG: I presume this would also (??) work for PPC machines,
but a different code (possibly PPC or ppc) would need to be
substituted for the i386 in the "lipo" command above.
2] Install
Create the witango user
Then install WitangoServer. Get usual install error (caused by Apache
in wrong location ... see below)
3] Workaround for non-standard location of Apache in Leopard (/etc/
apache2) *** Fix as needed for server ***
In Terminal -->
sudo cp /Applications/WitangoServer/5.5/install/Plug-Ins/
mod_witango55_apache22.so /usr/libexec/apache2/
mod_witango55_apache22.so
(copies module to the right place for Apache2 to see it)
note, no line break should be in the line above, even if there appears
to be one after going through email
Create backup of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
cd /etc/apache2
sudo cp httpd.conf httpd-back.conf
cp httpd.conf /Users/<your user name>/httpd.conf <=== I prefer
editing outside of the /etc directory. This is the copy I can fool with
Edit httpd.conf, adding THIS edited information instead of the
provided mod_witango55_apache22.so.httpd (to account for new location
for modules)
I just added this as the last part of the httpd.conf file
# LOAD WITANGO MODULE
# This loads the Witango 5.5 client for Apache 2.2 to enable
# communication with the Witango Application Server
LoadModule WitangoModule libexec/apache2/mod_witango55_apache22.so
WitangoModule mod_witango55_apache22.so
AddType application/witango-application-file taf tml thtml tcf wws
If you wish, change httpd.conf for location of web pages. In my case I
just deleted the Library/WebServer directory and aliased in my working
one, which is on an entirely different partition.
sudo cp /Users/<your user name>/httpd.conf /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
<=== Returns the edited copy to /etc/apache2
BTW, copy over old WitangoServer/5.5/configuration files from Tiger
config for WitangoServer, for quickest switchover.
4] Workaround for starting up WitangoServer due to incomplete
installer script ---
Witango startup unlikely to work, so I didn't bother with that (I am
on a development server, so I am not concerned with automatic
startups) However, we now use a script startup for our servers to
ensure automatic startups. Let us know if you need that ...
In Terminal --->
cd /Applications/WitangoServer/5.5
./witangod -uo
5] If you get an error message for clients.ini
Change permissions (and path to permissions) so that these are wide
open (because I wasn't sure who the "owner" was for the http process -
system? wheel? root?) This is NOT the best solution, but it was good
for checking that there was ANY situation in which I could start up.
The more experienced among you can tackle that.
Start up Apache webserver using Preferences --> Sharing ---> Web
sharing. If you had already started it, shut it down, restart. Start
up WitangoServer as indicated above. (Note that if this start up of
the Web sharing process "hangs", it means that you've done something
wrong with the httpd.conf file - check the console application to find
out where the problem was.)
This looks complicated, but it took far longer for me to tweak around
and test at each point get it running. If you follow this (AND if I
didn't leave some critical bit out), it should take you less than 5
minutes to get the Witango Server running.
and, lastly, be sure to put your JDBC drivers here, if you're running
JDBC.
