Hi Guys,
Been using ODK for a bit of time now in testing. I have got it up and
running on app engine using the standard domain name @appspot.com but when
i try nad direct the app to a custom domain the it breaks, looks like the
style sheets are not locatable and the initial redirect does not work
always.
Any ideas on this, before i re-install it could it be that i need to create
the war file using the intended url when running the .bin file to create
the war?
Thanks

Since the AppEngine path changes from myserver.appspot.com to
myserver.mydomain.com, you will need to hand-edit a configuration file to
get this to work.
Within the ODK Aggregate directory that the installer produces, you will
find this file:
ODK Aggregate\ODKAggregate\WEB-INF\lib\ODKAggregate-settings.jar
This is a Java jar file containing configuration files that were tailored
based upon the answers you provided to the installer.
A tool like 7-ZIP can open this file, and within it, you will find a
'security.properties' file. You will need to Edit this file.
Within that file, you will find a line:
security.server.hostname=opendatakit.appspot.com
Change this to myserver.mydomain.com or whatever is appropriate for you.
Save the changes, being sure that they are updated in this jar file (7-Zip
handles this for you; other tools, you must be very careful that the file
in the jar gets replaced/updated).
You should now be able to deploy to appspot and have the server behave as
if it is running on your custom domain.
I have no idea how doing this can/will work with https: connections (ODK
Aggregate when deployed on AppEngine, has all communications sent over
https).
You may be required to purchase your own SSL certificate, and I don't know
what additional steps would be required to configure your appspot
deployment to use that certificate.
That would be a separate issue to address with Google.
If there are additional steps, I would appreciate it if you could document
those steps for the wider community.
