| Hi,
This is my first post to this list, so apologies if my protocol is not correct, or I miss something.
I've been pulling my hair out for nearly a week now as I can't get my WO application running on my Linux server. I am a Noobie to WebObjects (1st project), and developed a back end web-service for an iPhone / iPad application prototype project I was contracted to do. The project is at the point of completion, and I've been trying to make the WO application (Which runs just fine in Eclipse), work on the deployment server so I can hand it over (The Linux machine is running in VMWare).
So, I have followed (several times), the 'Setup' and 'Deployment' instructions on http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/WO/Deploying+on+Linux and think that I have everything deployed OK (Application and frameworks). When I start up the WO application instance from the Java Monitor it seems to launch OK - The application log seems to have no issues and states the URL and "Waiting for requests...", it's just when I make a request (GET) just using a browser, I don't get any response data - No error at all in the browser, just an empty / blank page - I know I should be getting some data back as there's data to serve for the request.
The WO application is a fairly simple and has been based upon the ERRestRouteExample included with the ProjectWonder sources, but as I said I know the application runs just fine if launched form Eclipse (with the Eclipse http engine).
I've got a suspicion it's something in my Apache setup, but I can't for the life of me think / see what it is - I'm not even use I need Apache as I don't need to serve any HTTP pages, just JSON response data (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
I know requests are getting through to the Linux server (checked with tcpdump), and I can see the request in the WO application log with the following error, which I can't see to find anywhere on the net.

I've bypassed Apache and wotaskd and am just doing a DirectConnection (which I've enabled) to the application
I would really appreciate any help of guidance on how to troubleshoot further.. as I'm about to lose what little hair I've got left - my time is running out
Warmest regards and a big hug to anyone who can help (please..) Rich |
