Pascal Robert 33.1 25 = Running Monitor and wotaskd on Mac OS X =
David Holt 31.1 26
27 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.
28
Gavin Eadie 23.1 29 Make sure //Web Sharing// is enabled in the //Sharing// panel in //System Preferences// (note: 10.5 comes with Apache 2.2 as the default).
30
31 Edit ///etc/apache2/httpd.conf// (if you did a fresh install, you may already have these - search httpd.conf first)
32
David Holt 31.1 33 Search for rewrite//module, and above it, add this line~://

35 {{code}}
36
37 LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/mod_WebObjects.so

41 Go to the very end and add:

43 {{code}}
44
45 Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
46
47 {{/code}}
48
49 Search for "Directory /" and comment out the Order and Deny lines:
50
51 {{code}}
52
53 <Directory />
54 Options FollowSymLinks
55 AllowOverride None
56 #Order deny,allow
57 #Deny from all
58 </Directory>
59

61
62 Restart apache
63
64 {{code}}
65
66 sudo apachectl graceful
67
68 {{/code}}
69
David Holt 31.1 70 If you run //ps auxw grep httpd// you should see apache now running
Gavin Eadie 23.1 71
72 Create ///Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd.plist// with:
David Holt 31.1 73 (for OSX 10.5 make sure the permissions of this file are 644 system/wheel/everyone otherwise launchctl will throw a "dubious permissions" error when you try to load the plist with the commands that follow)
