20 Chapter 2 Upgrading Mac OS X Server Version 10.3
Step 3: Make Adjustments as needed after initial server setup
Now you can use Workgroup Manager, Server Admin, Terminal, and other applications
to refine your server’s settings and take advantage of new version 10.4 features.
See the administration guide for individual services for an explanation of new and
changed features. Following are a few suggestions of particular interest.
WebObjects
Restore httpd.conf to the previous version (httpd.conf.AppleSaved), or include the
following line in the new httpd.conf file:
Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache/apache.conf
If you didn’t install Java 1.4.2 on your version 10.3.9 server, WebObjects application
projects need to be manually updated to use the version of the Java Virtual Machine
(VM) included with version 10.4.
To update a WebObjects project:
1 Open the project in Xcode.
2 In the Expert View for the main target’s settings, change the property value for
“JAVA_VM” to “java”.
Note: JavaMonitor and wotaskd (WebObjects Task Daemon) services are now managed
by launchd and can be accessed through the Server Admin application. If the server
you’re upgrading has the startup item /System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects, you
can ignore it. It’s disabled by default and isn’t necessary for autostarting WebObjects
services with Mac OS X Server v10.4. See the web technologies administration guide for
more information.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates
Use Server Admin to import any existing SSL certificates you want to continue to use
for LDAP, mail, or Web services.
To import an SSL certificate:
1 Open Server Admin.
2 Select Open Directory, Web, or Mail in the Computers & Services list for the upgraded
server.
3 Click Settings. See the administration guides for Open Directory, mail service, and web
technologies for information about how to import related SSL certificates.
Using Server Admin, you can create a self-signed certificate and generate a Certificate
Signing Request (CSR) to obtain an SSL certificate from an issuing authority and install
the certificate. The mail services administration guide tells you how.
