Railo on Apache / Tomcat - windows (part 2)

18 Oct, 2009

The objective of this excercise is to get Apache and Tomcat connected, we want Apache the default web server that serves the port 80 to forward requests to Tomcat - Railo.

The end goal for me in this case, is to get Apache / Tomcat / Railo to serve up http://personal.ecommerce2

Note, this post is really based on very excellent series on installing multiple ColdFusion servers by Dave Shuck: Installing-Railo-under-Tomcat-with-Apache-webserver

Next, I need to add the site definition to the Tomcat’s server.xml - which in my case located on C:\opt\railo\tomcat\conf\server.xml

I added this bit at the end of the file (between the closing Host tag and closing Engine tag):

&lt;Host name=&quot;personal.cbcommerce2&quot;  appBase=&quot;C:/prj/personal/cbcommerce&quot;  unpackWARs=&quot;true&quot;
autoDeploy=&quot;true&quot; xmlValidation=&quot;true&quot; xmlNamespaceAware=&quot;false&quot;&gt;
&lt;Context path=&quot;&quot; docBase=&quot;&quot; reloadable=&quot;true&quot; privileged=&quot;true&quot; antiResourceLocking=&quot;false&quot; anitJARLocking=&quot;false&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/Host&gt;
