Re: WO4: Application URL without port number doesn't work.

[Ian Calegory <ian@i-225.com>]

I've heard that there's a way to use the same URL to access an application that
changes port numbers every time you run it, but I haven't gotten it to work.
You should also be able to edit the public WebObjects.conf file by hand, but my
app. still started on a different port each time when I ran it from Project
Builder.  I used the Monitor application to start the app. on a single port each

time (for deployment--I like the "random" port thing for development, because it

makes it harder for people to connect to your apps. while you're developing
them).  But, the installation put Monitor in the wrong place, so I had to move
it to where it was supposed to be (and do some other things, because I had to
change the host name of the machine I was working on) and mess around with it to

get it to work.  It's working great now!

Now I just need to figure out how to get Monitor to start up on a single port,
when it's started with the NT Monitor services or otherwise.
