Hi list,
As a rule I run WO apps in development via apache2 web server with:
-WOAdaptorURL http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects
-WOAllowRapidTurnaround true
-WODirectConnectEnabled false
-WOPort -9999
This results in URLs that begin with http://localhost/-9999/.......
That does not look correct. The -9999 should be near the end, after
Appname.woa/
Does this mean that apache sends requests to that application
instance directly or does it go via wotaskd?
I would expect that URL to not work at all. With the negative port
number after the .woa/, it would be going through wotaskd
This all works fine and links generated by the application itself
in code all contain the -9999, no problem.
However, the application also has user supplied links to WO pages
that omit the -9999 (as there would be no -9999 in the deployed
system). These give me a "The requested application was not found
on this server".
My colleague says that the same links, that omit the -9999, work
fine in development for him and they used to work for me too.
One of three things is true:
1. You remember incorrectly
2. You had rewrite rules that were adding this number into the URL
3. You had storing the session ID and Instance Number in cookies enabled
I could do with understanding what the mechanics are of these
negative port number connections and why mine should have broken. I
am suspect it relates to my Run... script as that seemed to get
hosed by an SVN checkout at one point.
The launch config gets stored in the workspace metadata, not in the
project. So svn checkouts should not affect this.
