Notes on CentOS 7 64/ Apache 2.4
The yum repositories for deployment artifacts is a little out of date, so these instructions are based on wonder source and compiling the adaptor on the target system.
Compiling the Apache Adaptor
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
$ sudo yum install httpd https-dev
$ # get the latest wonder source
$ git clone https://github.com/wocommunity/wonder.git
$ cd wonder/Utilities/Adaptors
$ # thanks to alextu for these commands to fix the make.config file
$ # (from his docker recipe)
$ sed -ri 's/ADAPTOR_OS = MACOS/ADAPTOR_OS = LINUX/g' make.config
$ sed -ri 's/ADAPTORS = CGI Apache2.2/ADAPTORS = Apache2.4/g' make.config
$ make
$ # move the compiled module to the modules directory (check your apache config
$ # but the default on CentOS7 is /usr/lib64/httpd/modules
$ cp Apache2.4/mod_WebObjects.so /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/ |
Configuring Apache for WebObjects
The standard apache.conf (found in the wonder source at wonder/Utilities/Adaptors/Apache2.4/apache.conf) should work fine. Here are a couple of modifications that worked for me:
The authorization for Apache changed between 2.2 and 2.4. If you're used to "Allow from all" or "Deny from all" you should know that Apache 2.4 syntax has changed so this is how those allows/denies work now. This is a mostly permissive structure restricting some of the verbs that are not used (We have some configs that allow PUT, DELETE, PROPFIND, etc... but they don'tcall me "Little Paranoid Larry" for nothing.

FirewallD
CentOS7 switched to using FirewallD from IP Tables. I've tried to understand firewalld and I'm actually digging it even though it's a big change from IP Tables. Useful info on Firewalld can be found at Linux firewalld information at Oracle or FirewallD at Fedora.
The cheat sheet commands that help get started are:
| Panel | ||
|---|---|---|

getting help on the command line: checking the state of the firewall: panic: stop panic: set a service to a zone for runtime (not persistent) : set a service to a zone permanently: setup specific ports (like for WO instances) reload the configuration: find out what services the zone thinks should be handled at runtime (or permanently) : go nuts and specify rules to within an inch of their lives: |
SELinux
As is mentioned in https://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Installing+a+deployment+environment+on+RedHat,+CentOS+or+Amazon+Linux,
you can open up apache to network connections using the command:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
$ # make sure you have the policy utils (yum install policycoreutils-python)
$ sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1 |
If you have additional problems with the SELinux configuration, check the context and ownership of files. More useful information on SELinux can be found at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux.
