Hi John,
Yes several people have suggested that, and it's probably what I will
do in the end. The problem is that it significantly increases the
file size and as I'm deploying to a remote server with not
particularly fast upload, it slows down the process a lot when
updating apps. At the moment I don't really need to have different
versions deployed alongside each other and all my apps are using
basically the same frameworks etc. I'd like to get them configured
and set up correctly on the server, once I have that scenario and I
understand better how it works, I'll be able to consider embedding
them if I don't need to upload too often. Once I actually get this
test server up and running locally, it will hopefully mean less
uploading anyway :)
As I'm sure you've gathered, I'm pretty new to Linux and I'm trying to
learn as much as I can along the way. If I can get it all working, I
then have to do this all over again on the live deployment server
(we'll be ordering a new one with CentOS which is why I'm using that
on the local one). Assuming I can get that all done, I will hopefully
be able to put together a How-To for anyone else trying to do it.
There is some good info available already, but I'm afraid some of it
was beyond me and assumed I knew more about Linux than I do.
I'm not really deploying on Linux by choice - it's the OS that our
hosting server uses. Not that it doesn't interest me to learn it, but
I'm starting at a point that means a lot of learning to get the thing
up and running!
Regards,
David.

Hi David,
If exporting the NEXT_ROOT doens't work you can also edit the
UNIXClassPath.txt file which is inside your woa in the Contents/UNIX
directory. There you can set the path to the frameworks explicity
which should solve the problem for now while you work on the NEXT_ROOT
issue.
In my build / deploy process I embed the frameworks (as well as the
particular WO version that app is using) inside a directory and set
the path explicity in the file. That way I can depoy different apps
that use differnt WO versions alongside each other.
Cheers,
John

Hi John,
I did have an error in the path to the apps, I've fixed that and it
works
great now. To start the apps I mean.
I can connect to JavaMonitor on port 56789.
I've installed all the Wonder frameworks, the mysql-connector/j, mysql
server, installed my database and added users etc.
Now, I'm sure this is something so stupid, but I can't see what it
is....
I'm trying to start the iPSDistributor app as user 'appserver'. The
NEXT_ROOT variable IS set as you can see below, but the first thing
the app
says is that it is NOT set.
[appserver@localhost iPSDistributor.woa]$ echo $NEXT_ROOT
/opt
[appserver@localhost iPSDistributor.woa]$ ./iPSDistributor
iPSDistributor: NEXT_ROOT environment variable is not set!
Reading UNIXClassPath.txt ...
Launching iPSDistributor.woa ...
Obviously it crashes out with NoClassDef errors etc as it can't find
the
NEXT_ROOT. What have I done wrong here?
Regards,
David.

Hi David,
you can test that the script works properly by trying to launch
webobjects
via:
/etc/init.d/webobjects start
/etc/init.d/webobjects stop
after running this you should have the two java processes running - if
not then there's something wrong. Perhaps check the permissions on the
script, the NEXT_ROOT / USER variables and that it is executable etc
Also the reason for the:
chkconfig --levels 2345 webobjects on
is that the script defaults to 345 (at least it did for me) and you
porbably want it to run at level 2 as well.
