From Interactive Apps like this:
It doesnāt seem to like the form.yml you have and is trying to find another.
I restarted Apache, ran update_ood_portal, and chose āRestart Web Serverā so I donāt see those errors anymore but the Desktop is failing to start still:

OOD thinks the application is a http server, not a vnc application.
You cloned the repo from us - but did you keep this portion specifying itās a vnc application?
Thanks @Micket Iāve tried this on RHEL 7 and ran into some difficulties. I was hoping to get the VNC version working and Iām getting close.
Which Jupyter app did you find easy? There are a few posted from several universities.
For the Matlab app yes:
batch_connect:
template: vnc
script:
native:
<%- slurm_args.each do |arg| %>
- "<%= arg %>"
<%- end %>
The error I get from MATLAB is:
(xfsettingsd:153295): xfsettingsd-WARNING **: 10:47:59.621: Failed to get the _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS property.
Killing Xvnc process ID 153271
OK so from Interactive Apps I still get this error:
This app does not supply a sub app form file under the directory '/var/www/ood/apps/sys/bc_osc_matlab/local'
As for using the MATLAB icon on the left side on the node here are the errors from /var/log/messages:

OK this error only happens after the initial login then goes away. We are using CAS and itās similar to this 2020 RStudio thread. I tried adding CASScope to out conf file but get:
Oct 16 14:30:41 ood.ouruni.edu httpd[1402821]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 17 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/cas.conf:
Oct 16 14:30:41 ood.ouruni.edu httpd[1402821]: CASScope not allowed here
Iām not sure what would cause that core dump. Google searches donāt provide a lot of hits, but if I had to guess it may be a missing library or driver. Like you may be missing a video card driver?
I also donāt know much about CASScope, but the error indicates itās not in the right place (itās global?). Like it should be held within all the Location directives, not applied globally.
Which is to say maybe itās better placed in the auth section of your ood_portal.yml.
Where in the file should it go and what is the value? CAS?
The auth section of your ood_portal.yml. Using / is super liberal, but itāll account for both /pun stuff and /node and /rnode URIs.
auth:
- CASScope /
# - the other CAS stuff you have
I think that āapp does not supply a sub appā error is now resolved. Still seeing these error on Desktop

I also had to put:

- 'CASScope /'
And I had incorrect alignment of:

The latter was indented 2 additional spaces 
However Iām now getting the No VNC error. The only error in the logs I see is:

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks @jeff.ohrstrom for your help today.
Edit: the log actually starts with authz_core:error could this be CAS-related?
I tested KDE the errors are differnt, from /var/log/messages, any clues here?

I donāt believe thereās anything wrong on the compute side. When we saw your console logs the websocket connection only lasted 5 ms or so ā thatās not long enough to reach XFCE. Such a short duration suggests to me that apache immediately closed the connection and never even tried to forward it to websockify & XFCE on the compute node.
If youāre still getting this error in apache logs - thatās the issue, not XFCE.
AH01630: client denied by server configuration
Curiously, no I no longer see those logs after enabling debug of trace3 level. The last instance was:
[Thu Oct 17 16:41:34.222066 2024] [authz_core:error] [pid 1478819:tid 1478990] [client x.x.x.x:58892] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /etc/httpd/htdocs
Is there any logging level I can add/increase to the authentication side?
If you have trace3 enabled then it should be saying something about why youāre being disconnected. Look for the websockfiy URLs.

Attached are some trace3 logs from today, 10/18/24. A snip showing websockify, anything stick out here?
