Okay, it seems that everything is running and communicating now. I'll just leave a note of what I had to do to make sure everything worked.
1) /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 web01.polestarpilates.com localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
66.175.98.51 web01.polestarpilates.com web01
2) /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=web01.polestarpilates.com
GATEWAY=172.16.1.1
3) Set the reverse DNS for my IP to web01.polestarpilates.com. I had to call my managed hosting rep to do this. It took about 10 hours.
4) Set wotaskd startup string to:
$NEXT_ROOT/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/wotaskd -WOPort 1085 -WOHost web01.polestarpilates.com &
5) Set Host tab in JavaMonitor to "web01.polestarpilates.com"
6) Set URL adaptor under Site tab in JavaMonitor to "http://web01.polestarpilates.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects";
7) After rebooting a few times, I have to remember to restart Apache, FrontBase server and FrontBase database. I felt like an idiot when I did everything above and couldn't even start my application from the command line because I forgot to start FrontBase.
Now I am able to start JavaMonitor and start instances of the application as needed. I'm sure there will be more questions about the application as I continue with my configurations, but at least everything is communicating and working!
Thanks so much to Chuck, Pascal and Mark for helping me out with this. I'm going to post a blog article about my struggles for easy reference and shoot everyone a link.
Thanks,
Ken
