CHECK

You will also need to find this block

# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

And modify like so:

# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
#    Order deny,allow
#    Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
#    Require all denied
</Directory>

CHECK

Got to the very end of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and add :

Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf

Include /Developer/WebObjects/Versions/WebObjects543/System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf

CHECK (apache.conf is actually there, where I installed Webobjects 5.4)

Edit /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf to make sure that your enabled/uncommented WebObjectsConfig property looks like this:

WebObjectsConfig http://localhost:1085 10

Checking the above referenced file under Developer/WebObjects…

WebObjectsConfig http://localhost:1085 10

CHECK

Edit /System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/Contents/Resources/Properties

Add this line after the WOPort=1085 one:

WOHost=localhost

Again, looking under Developer/WebObjects…/Properties

WOPort=1085

WOHost=localhost

CHECK

Restart wotaskd: sudo launchctl stop com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd

CHECK

sudo launchctl list | grep webobjects
430	1	com.apple.webobjects.womonitor
3519	143	com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd

CHECK

Add or edit these launch parameters:

-WODirectConnectEnabled false
-WOHost localhost
-WOAdaptorURL http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects
-WOPort 9999

ALL CHECKED in the Debug Configuration for the application.

Still no love.

http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects/mlb.woa/-9999 = No instance available

Thanks!

Double check what is on that page. Ensure that WOHost=localhost is set for both the app and wotaskd.

Subject: Instance not found on dev machine

Hey All,
I followed the directions here: https://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Development+Tools-Running+Through+Apache

And when I start my app in eclipse, I get the “No Instance Available” error in the browser.

Apache is running as is wotaskd so I’m at a loss as to what to check. Anything simple I can do to try to debug the app? There are no errors during startup from the app, and the log ends with the following three lines:

Sep 03 01:19:31 mlb[9999] INFO er.extensions.appserver.ERXApplication - Local host IPs: (mbp17.local/192.168.0.108, localhost/127.0.0.1, localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1, mbp17.local/fe80:0:0:0:bae8:56ff:fe47:dbe8%4, mbp17.local/fe80:0:0:0:a059:ffff:fe9a:374d%8, mbp17.local/fe80:0:0:0:3d92:7248:46b4:852c, mbp17.local/fd11:314e:8afc:764b:3d92:7248:46b4:852c)

The error in the browser comes up immediately if that helps.

Thanks!
