Heh, I tried to enter the Tour de France with it, but they pointed
out that it had neither wheels nor peddles. They weren't amused when
I responded that with all those keys and wifi, I could virtually go
farther and faster than any vehicle with wheels and peddles. However,
they did laugh when I started a WO app to show them my virtuosity and
all I got was a "No instance available" message.
Along these same lines, what's the host portion of your WO URL?
On my old Tiger-WO 5.2.4 partition, I would see my computer's
Bonjour name, but on my Tiger-WO 5.3.1 partition, I see the DHCP IP
address that can change with each reboot. This isn't convenient;
I'd prefer the same host in the URL, preferably localhost,
127.0.0.1, or my computer's Bonjour name.
That was my first clue that something had changed. I had been seeing
"localhost", but suddenly I was seeing my computer's Bonjour name,
"jwpismo.local".
Launching WO apps with a WOHost argument doesn't affect this.
Launching in direct connect or Web server mode doesn't affect
this. The Apache config files are identical on both partitions;
ServerName isn't set. wotaskd and JavaMonitor are launched by
launchd (from OS X Server) rather than the WO startup item on both
partitions. /etc/hostconfig on my Tiger-WO 5.2.4 partition doesn't
have a HOSTNAME key, but in /etc/hostconfig on my Tiger-WO 5.3.1
partition, it's set to -AUTOMATIC-. Commenting the HOSTNAME entry
and rebooting doesn't affect the IP address in the host portion of
the WO URL.
Any suggestions?
I have none beyond what I posted earlier and was kind of hoping for
more suggestions from the list, but I did post late Friday evening at
the beginning of a big American Holiday weekend. Clearly that posting
wasn't too late for you, Art, living in that, what... 6 hour time
warp (from the US East Coast) of yours.
Thanks for the reply.
Regards,
Jerry
