Timothy Worman 29.1 9 ProjectBuilder and Xcode are no longer supported IDEs for WebObjects development or deployment. While legacy projects may still use it there is little, if any, support available for it. Existing projects (except Objective-C WebObjects projects, of course) should be [[migrated to WOLips>>doc:WOL.XcodeMigration]]. It isn't as hard as you might think, and WOLips is a much more powerful WebObjects IDE.

Timothy Worman 29.1 20 By default Golipse will download and install a 64-bit version of Eclipse. If you have an older 32-bit machine you can specify the download URL for the Eclipse package in 'Golipse > Preferences'. The latest 32-bit package is "http:~/~/ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.2-201102101200/eclipse-SDK-3.6.2-macosx-cocoa.tar.gz"

Gavin Eadie 23.1 55 = Running Monitor and wotaskd on Mac OS X =
56
Timothy Worman 29.1 57 Monitor and wotaskd are installed, but the launchd scripts to start them are not installed. You can grab them from a 10.5 Server installation, or follow those instructions.
Gavin Eadie 23.1 58
59 Make sure //Web Sharing// is enabled in the //Sharing// panel in //System Preferences// (note: 10.5 comes with Apache 2.2 as the default).
60
61 Edit ///etc/apache2/httpd.conf// (if you did a fresh install, you may already have these - search httpd.conf first)
62
Timothy Worman 29.1 63 Search for rewrite_module, and above it, add this line:
Gavin Eadie 23.1 64
65 {{code}}
66
67 LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/mod_WebObjects.so
68
69 {{/code}}
70
71 Go to the very end and add:
72
73 {{code}}
74
75 Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
76
77 {{/code}}
78
79 Search for "Directory /" and comment out the Order and Deny lines:
80
81 {{code}}
82
83 <Directory />
84 Options FollowSymLinks
85 AllowOverride None
86 #Order deny,allow
87 #Deny from all
