1 1  This needs to be in one page - especially for beginners. I summarized my steps to run applications with Apache on a brand new Leopard install on the mailing list and it was suggested that it get put on the wiki. Please refer to the following pages if you need clarification:

8 8  The steps I took as outlined in the wiki pages above:
9 9  
10 -~1. Edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
10 +~1. Edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
11 11  Search for "Directory /" and comment out the Order and Deny lines:
12 12  
13 +{{code}}
14 +
13 13  <Directory />
14 - Options FollowSymLinks
15 - AllowOverride None
16 - #Order deny,allow
17 - #Deny from all
16 + Options FollowSymLinks
17 + AllowOverride None
18 + #Order deny,allow
19 + #Deny from all
18 18  </Directory>
19 19  
22 +{{/code}}
23 +
20 20  Then search for "ServerName" and add
25 +
26 +{{code}}
27 +
21 21  ServerName localhost
22 22  
30 +{{/code}}
31 +
23 23  Add a line that points to the WebObjects apache config file
33 +
34 +{{code}}
35 +
24 24  Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
25 25  
38 +{{/code}}
39 +
26 26  2. My apache.conf (/System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf) file contained the line to load the WebObject module
27 -Confirm that apache.conf also includes:
28 -WebObjectsConfig http:~/~/localhost:1085 10
41 +Confirm that apache.conf also includes:
29 29  
30 -3. Add the "WOHost localhost" to the properties file in wotaskd (/System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/Contents/Resources/Properties)
43 +{{code}}
31 31  
32 -4. Change permissions of the two lauchdaemons to **exactly** what is written in the wiki (I think they are created by default now with WO 5.4.3, if not, create the files as described in [[WO 5.4 Getting Started]])
33 -644 system/wheel/everyone
45 +WebObjectsConfig [http://localhost:1085] 10
34 34  
47 +{{/code}}
48 +
49 +3. Add the launchd plist files necessary to start monitor and wotaskd during system startup to your /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ directory. If you are using WO 5.4.x you can probably find the plists at /Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects/Deployment/launchd/ If you cannot find them there, you can find instructions to produce them here: [[WO 5.4 Getting Started]] If you do not specify WOHost in your plist, you will need to add the "WOHost=localhost" to the properties file in wotaskd (/System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/Contents/Resources/Properties)
50 +
51 +4. Change permissions of the launch daemon plists for wotaskd and monitor to **exactly** what is written in the wiki
52 +
53 +{{code}}
54 +
55 +$ cd /Library/LaunchDaemons/
56 +$ chmod 644 com.apple.webobjects.womonitor.plist
57 +$ chmod 644 com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd.plist
58 +$ sudo chown root:wheel com.apple.webobjects.womonitor.plist
59 +$ sudo chown root:wheel com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd.plist
60 +
61 +{{/code}}
62 +
35 35  5. Set your launch parameters in your application:
36 36  
37 ---WODirectConnectEnabled false
38 ---WOHost localhost
39 ---WOAdaptorURL http:~/~/localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects
40 ---WOPort 5555
65 +{{code}}
41 41  
42 -6. Restart Apache
67 +-WODirectConnectEnabled false
68 +-WOHost localhost
69 +-WOAdaptorURL [http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects]
70 +-WOPort 5555
43 43  
72 +{{/code}}
73 +
74 +6. Update mod//WO
75 +You will need to replace your mod//WebObjects.so located at /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/mod//WebObjects.so with the appropriate version of [[mod//WebObjects//>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wonder/mod_WebObjects/Apache2.2/macosx/]] This will allow you to use SSL and solves a lot of problems where pages return **No instance available** errors. Make note of the original file's permissions and duplicate them on the replacement. Once you do this, restart Apache.//
76 +
44 44  7. Load the LaunchDaemons. Make sure the filenames of the plists are the same as the module you're loading. I know this seems obvious, but it appears that the filenames have changed over time from "com.apple.webobjects.womonitor.plist" to "com.apple.womonitor.plist". The wiki calls for the loading of a module named "com.apple.webobjects.womonitor.plist" (notice the extra **webobjects**). You may not load the modules if you use the wiki instructions on the command line and don't notice the naming difference of the files.
45 45  
46 46  If the LaunchDaemons are already loaded and you've made no changes, you should be able to start your application directly. If you've made changes and the LaunchDaemons are already loaded, you'll have to restart your machine to kick off launchd.
47 47  
81 +I needed to change permissions on /Library/WebObjects/Configuration because I was getting this error:
82 +
83 +Don't have permission to write to Configuration Directory /Library/WebObjects/Configuration/ as this user; please change the permissions.
84 +
85 +{{code}}
86 +
87 +sudo chown _appserver:_appserveradm Configuration
88 +
89 +{{/code}}
90 +
48 48  Steps 8, 9, 10. If that doesn't work, go back and double check every one of the settings. You'll probably find one of them has a typo or something. I am sure I did it three or four times before I finally got it all to work.
