The requested URL /SuperContainer was not found on this server

[Diver]

I have been using SuperContainer for some time with no troubles. Now my FileMaker databases are not seeing the SuperContainer URL. When I try and access the standard url of 127.0.0.1/SuperContainer using Safari on my web server I get the error:

The request URL /SuperContainer was not found on this server.

I have validated it is there, as are all of my files (whew).

I have checked permissions for the Shared directory with SuperContainer directory in it and I think all looks fine, though I am not sure what they should be.

It is running on an Apple Xserve with Server OS 10.5.8. I ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions. I downloaded the latest SC version 2.77 and installed it with the Installer.jar file.

I have checked and IWP is working fine.

My FileMaker 10 Advanced Server is running on a separate Xserve in the same rack.

Anyone have any thoughts on possible problems or testing?

The SuperContainer URL not showing up means that either SuperContainer is not installed on your WPE or you are looking on the wrong machine. Did you restart your web server (apache not the wpe, or restart the whole machine) after doing the install?

I recommend doing a manual install just in case some permissions have been adjusted or a file was deleted. This way you can make sure that all files are in the right place and have been modified correctly. Be sure to restart your web server (not just the wpe) after performing the install.

Good news, the problem is solved. While going through the manual process I learned that file /Library/FileMaker Server/Admin/admin-helper/WEB-INF/conf/mod_jk.conf was missing the following two lines:

JkFmMount /SuperContainer/* cwpe

JkFmMount /SuperContainer cwpe

I am guessing that these were removed when using the FileMaker Server Admin Console and running the "Edit Server Deployment", selecting to use FileMaker's built in PHP versus the installed PHP. I am not certain on this but it is the only thing I can think of that may have caused the lines to disappear.

Thanks for the help!
