Verifying the Installation
At this point, you should have installed WebObjects as described in the WebObjects Installation Guide (included with the WebObjects 4.0 CD), perform the post-installation steps for your operating system as described in the first part of this document, and rebooted your computer.
After you have completed the installation and the post-installation, verify the installation by performing the following steps:
Note: These steps assume you've installed WebObjects Developer. The examples mentioned below are not installed with WebObjects Deployment. To verify a Deployment installation, you might complete these same steps running other applications.
Open a command-shell window (on Windows NT, open a Bourne shell window) and enter the following commands:
> cd NEXT_ROOT/Developer/Examples/WebObjects/WebScript/HelloWorld
> NEXT_ROOT/Library/WebObjects/Executables/WODefaultApp[.exe]
where:
NEXT_ROOT is the directory in which you installed WebObjects software ( NEXT_ROOT isn't applicable on Mac OS X systems).
These commands should run the HelloWorld example application, launch a web browser, and enter HelloWorld's URL in the browser. If this doesn't work, go to the topic Troubleshooting .
After you have verified that HelloWorld runs, type Control-C to shut it down.
- If scripted applications work, try running compiled applications. If your operating system has Java support (Mac OS X Server, Windows NT, or Solaris), enter the following commands:
> cd ../../Java/Movies/Movies.woa> ./Movies[.exe]
If your operating system does not have Java support (HP-UX), open the Objective-C version:
> cd ../../ObjectiveC/HelloWorldCompiled/HelloWorldCompiled.woa> HelloWorldCompiled
If you have trouble running compiled applications, go to the topic Troubleshooting.
After you have verified that Movies or HelloWorldCompiled runs, type Control-C to shut it down.
