TOPIC

    This document describes a problem which can occur with some versions of the Apache web server and WebObjects 4, and explains how to avoid it.


DISCUSSION

    Q: I'm using WebObjects 4. When I connect to an Apache web server with the WebObjects cgi adaptor, form names and variables are not returned. My application works fine when I run it from Project Builder. How can I make it work with Apache?

    A: Some versions of the Apache web server have the ServerSignature setting turned on by default. In some cases, this generates http headers that the WebObjects cgi adaptor cannot interpret. To avoid this problem edit your httpd.conf configuration file and change the ServerSignature setting from "on" to "off".
