David Avendasora 35.1 5 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. It isn't as hard as you might think, and WOLips is a much more powerful WebObjects IDE.

David Avendasora 35.1 9 1. h6. Download Golipse
10 [[Golipse>>https://github.com/rebeld/Golipse]] will fetch the needed version of Eclipse, WOLips and other tools for WebObjects development.
11 1. h6. Install the WebObjects
12 The best way to install the WebObjects frameworks is according to [[these instructions>>WOL:Using WOLips With Multiple Versions of WebObjects]].

David Holt 31.1 34
35 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.
36
Gavin Eadie 23.1 37 Make sure //Web Sharing// is enabled in the //Sharing// panel in //System Preferences// (note: 10.5 comes with Apache 2.2 as the default).
38
39 Edit ///etc/apache2/httpd.conf// (if you did a fresh install, you may already have these - search httpd.conf first)
40
David Holt 31.1 41 Search for rewrite//module, and above it, add this line~://

45 LoadModule WebObjects_module /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/mod_WebObjects.so

53 Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
54
55 {{/code}}

62 Options FollowSymLinks
63 AllowOverride None
64 #Order deny,allow

David Holt 31.1 78 If you run //ps auxw grep httpd// you should see apache now running
