Let me be the first to say THANK YOU.
This is great.

A number of people have expressed interest in using the WebObjects
adaptor with Apache 2.2.x. I finally gotten a chance to sit down
and work on it today. I'm writing to let you know that it's
available in the Project Wonder CVS repository.
The necessary changes turned out to be mostly minor updates to
change calls to outdated/deprecated functions. The biggest (and
non-trivial) change was for SSL support. It's been re-written to
use Apache's mod_ssl module.
I've tested with MacOS X 10.4.7, Apache 2.2.2, with and without ssl
support. It works in all of my tests.
Configuration of the web server to work with the adaptor turned out
to be surprisingly challenging, due to the new, very strict default
access rules that ship in Apache 2.2.x httpd.conf file. Once I
discovered that, it was trivial to change the setting, but it's
worth mentioning here to save some people a lot of frustration.
The new default configuration is:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
Your options are to comment out the last 2 lines of that block, or
to override them in a VirtualHost block. Just setting the usual
Location block didn't seem to work for me.
And, of course, either change the name of the WebObjectsAlias
setting from /cgi-bin/WebObjects to <foo>/WebObjects or comment out
the ScriptAlias definition for the /cgi-bin/ directory.
Other than these tips, it's pretty much the standard compilation
and installation, and configuration.
1) Alter the make.config file in the Adaptors directory of the
Wonder repository to reflect your apache installation setup.
2) Run make to build the Adaptor
3) Curse because of that one setting you forgot. Fix it.
4) make clean; make
5) Install the mod_WebObjects module with apxs
6) Configure your httpd.conf and either link or copy the WebObjects
directory from the standard location (if on MacOS X) to your new
htdocs directory.
7) apachectl configtest; apachectl graceful
8) Test.
8) Curse again. Change the httpd.conf file as necessary.
9) apachectl graceful. Go to 8 as necessary.
10) Finally! apachectl graceful
Enjoy your shiny new WO adaptor. :)
