Adding new site to Railo

Just a little note for myself as I am trying to get the workflow going on setting up new site in Railo.

In here I am using the application server Resin that comes with Railo – I would like to change this to Tomcat one day to mimic the my hosted environment at Viviotech.

Here I created a new site called personal.cbcommerce:

1. Add site to hosts.txt

2. Edit Apache vhosts file

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "C:/prj/personal/cbcommerce"
ServerName personal.cbcommerce
ResinConfigServer localhost 6800
<Location /caucho-status>
SetHandler caucho-status
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

3. Edit resin.conf

Add the following:

<host id="personal.cbcommerce">
<web-app id="/" root-directory="c:/prj/personal/cbcommerce" />
</host>

Restart Apache server at this point.

4. Set up Railo local settings

Access the site’s admin on: http://personal.cbcommerce/railo-context/admin/web.cfm There we can set up datasources and necessary mappings.
