Tim,

This is fantastic. Question your script does not have javamonitor starting enabled so javamonitor does not restart on a restart of the Ubuntu instance.

is there a reason for this. I added the line sudo systemctl enable javamonitor

and I always added to my apps properties this line:

# to fix the deployment
WOFrameworksBaseURL=/WebObjects/BookingD2W.woa/Contents/Frameworks

or my app would not find the css. Currently with this new ubuntu setup, my app is not finding its css. 🙁

did you have this isssue and what did you do?

Hi Ted

Here is how I deploy to the correct directories.

# WebObjects install script using maven and ant
This script will is initiated by maven, for example:
`mvn clean package -Dinstall_my_server`
It will package the webobjects app into timestamped gzip files, for example
```
target/MyWoApp202602100628.woapplication.tar.gz
target/MyWoApp202602100628.wowebserverresources.tar.gz
```
Then it will use ssh/scp to copy these files to the server (into a folder called ~/Documents which should exist beforehand) and extract them into the correct directories.
```
# directory for the application
/opt/webobjects/Local/Library/WebObjects/Applications
# directory for the webserver resources
/opt/webobjects/Local/Library/WebServer/Documents/WebObjects
```
SETUP
In `pom.xml` I timestamp my build file so I don't accidentally overwrite a previous install. Add to `project > build`
```xml
<finalName>${project.artifactId}${maven.build.timestamp}</finalName>
```
In `pom.xml` add plugin to `project > build > plugins` so maven can call ant.
```xml
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>install-actions</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<target>
<property name="dest.dir" value="target" />
<property name="build.app.name" value="${project.build.finalName}" />
<echo message="Installing ${project.build.finalName} using ant" />
<ant antfile="${basedir}/build.xml">
<target name="install_actions" />
</ant>
</target>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
```
Create an ant build script `build.xml` in project directory (next to `pom.xml`). You will need to modify value of "remote.host"
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE project>

<!-- normally run from maven. eg 'mvn clean package -Dinstall_my_server' -->
<target name="install_actions">
<antcall target="install_my_server_target" if:set="install_my_server" />
</target>
<target name="install_my_server_target">
<echo message="installing to my server" />
<antcall target="install_server">

ok I went through the wiki Deploying on Ubuntu 24.04 that Tim references and for days could not get it to work. So I went line by line making sure I understood what this script was doing and modifying what files. 

Then I found the issue!!  Near the bottom of the script it references Install WebObjects adapter. it uses git to clone the wonder.git repo. 

Git is not installed anywhere. I installed git and walked through the lines of the script, restarted Apache and voila. A working Ubuntu setup.

I updated the wiki to reflect adding git.


Lastly, I do not understand what this setup does to create the directories for the upload of my app.

Where do I upload my woapplication and wowebserverresources directories?

We are almost there. your wiki post was really great but I have run into a little problem. after I ran the script, apache came up beautifully, and javamonitor status shows:

However, when I try to add a host 127.0.0.1 I get Failed to contact localhost-1085

did I miss something?

Hello all!

I'm looking for help diagnosing an issue that we are seeing in a WebObjects production environment. I'm not the developer on the project, I'm the devops person and I know little about WebObjects.

Here is our stack:

Ubuntu version 20.04.1
Apache version 2.4.41
Project Wonder version 7.5-SNAPSHOT
WebObjects version 5.4.3

About once a day the Apache mod seems to stop working and no longer routes traffic to the WebObjects application. Restarting Apache solves the issue until it crops up again. The Apache error logs show these errors, in the given order, and they repeat several times:

lock_file_section(): failed to lock (1 attempts): Resource deadlock avoided
ac_readConfiguration: WOShmem_lock() failed. Skipping reading config.

Any idea what could be causing this issue? Should we be using a different version of Apache or the WebObjects mod? 

We are also considering alternative methods for hosting the WebObjects application. Should we consider removing the Apache mod requirement entirely?

Thank you kindly!

Jason Coffin
