Verifying the Installation

At this point, you should have installed WebObjects as described in the WebObjects Installation Guide (included with the WebObjects 4.5 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.

Verify that the WebObjects processes are running.
On Windows NT, open the Services control panel and verify that "Apple Mach Daemon", "Apple NetName Server", and "Apple WebObjects Task Daemon" are all running (their startup mode should be set to "Automatic").
On Mac OS X Server, click the icon in the upper left-hand corner of the screen and choose "Show All Processes". Verify that nmserver , woservice , and wotaskd are all running.
On Solaris and HP-UX, type "ps -eaf " in a shell window and verify that machd , nmserver , and wotaskd are all running.
Try to run a simple scripted application.
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. Enter the following commands:
> cd ../../Java/Movies/Movies.woa > ./Movies[.exe]
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.
