Apache2 picking up virtualhost but Lucee isnt

dev google-group-archive

Hi All

I am evaluating Lucee as an alternative to getting us away from Adobe but I
have run into a problem that after several hours of changes and service
restarts I just cant resolve. I have googled this issue considerably and I
am finding contradictory and ultimately ineffective solutions so I hope you
guys can help.

I have installed Lucee on my dev machine (Ubuntu Mate 1404) and got it
parsing .cfm files fine against the default website and got it creating the
WEB-INF directory and parsing .cfm files fine.

However, I cannot get it to work with any other VirtualHost. Apache
recognises the virtualhost fine and renders its index.html but when I
browse to my test index.cfm Lucee will only render the Lucee welcome screen
HTML!

I have noticed that

  • Lucee is not creating WEB-INF in the virtual host’s folder
  • Apache is configured fine resources load fine
  • Lucee isnt working so ofc I get the welcome screen with no resources
    (because apache is mapped the site correctly and has no resources)
  • When I hit the site the tomcat logs dont change, no errors (ther than
    404s) are logged by Apache

I have these configs

  • Lucee installed by the installer
    lucee-4.5.2.018-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run
  • Lucee install folder: /opt/lucee
  • Lucee user “lucee”
  • webserver: Apache 2.4.7
  • server webroot: /var/www/
  • default webroot: /var/www/html
  • secondary test site: /var/www/dev-branch/site1
  • Lucee and Apache have been restarted and reloaded several dozen times

The lucee user is in the www-data groups.
The web folders are all owneed by www-data:wwww-data and for now have
permissions 777 (just to eliminate permissions as a problem)

I have added virtual host configs to tomcat and Apache:

/opt/lucee/tomcat/conf/servers.xml

Hi James,

This is still probably a permissions issue. You can tell for sure by checking your tomcat logs located in /opt/lucee/tomcat/logs/. The catalina.out file will be the file you want to look at first as it will show any errors when lucee goes to create the context. The fact that you’re getting the rendered lucee page means that your connector is working, but your lack of a WEB-INF directory means your context isn’t getting created.

If it were me, I’d just start by checking the catalina.out log and confirm that the problem is related to permissions when Lucee goes to create the context.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Hi Hugo,

In tomcat, you should try to set the docBase to “”, and the path attribute to your context root, like so:

   <Host name="dev-branch" appBase="webapps"  unpackWARs="true"

autoDeploy=“true”
xmlValidation=“false” xmlNamespaceAware=“false”>

dev-branch

Also, the Alias tag is unnecessary in the given example, because it’s the same as the Host name attribute…

Hope this helps, kind regards,

Paul Klinkenberg

Tomcat docs regarding the path attribute:
The context path of this web application, which is matched against the beginning of each request URI to select the appropriate web application for processing. All of the context paths within a particular Host https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/host.html must be unique. If you specify a context path of an empty string (“”), you are defining the default web application for this Host, which will process all requests not assigned to other Contexts.

James,

I would start to verify that everything is working as it should in Tomcat - e.g. skip Apache out of the equation, and browse using the tomcat port (8080 if you haven’t changed it).

Regards,
Hugo

  Hi All

  I am evaluating Lucee as an alternative to getting us

away from Adobe
but I have run into a problem that after several hours
of changes and
service restarts I just cant resolve. I have googled
this issue
considerably and I am finding contradictory and
ultimately ineffective
solutions so I hope you guys can help.

  I have installed Lucee on my dev machine (Ubuntu Mate

  1. and got it
    parsing .cfm files fine against the default website and
    got it creating
    the WEB-INF directory and parsing .cfm files fine.

    However, I cannot get it to work with any other
    VirtualHost. Apache
    recognises the virtualhost fine and renders its
    index.html but when I
    browse to my test index.cfm Lucee will only render the
    Lucee welcome
    screen HTML!

    I have noticed that

    • Lucee is not creating WEB-INF in the virtual host’s
      folder * Apache is
      configured fine resources load fine * Lucee isnt working
      so ofc I get
      the welcome screen with no resources (because apache is
      mapped the site
      correctly and has no resources) * When I hit the site
      the tomcat logs
      dont change, no errors (ther than 404s) are logged by
      Apache

    I have these configs

    • Lucee installed by the installer
      lucee-4.5.2.018-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run * Lucee
      install folder:
      /opt/lucee

    • Lucee user “lucee”

    • webserver: Apache 2.4.7

    • server webroot: /var/www/

    • default webroot: /var/www/html

    • secondary test site: /var/www/dev-branch/site1

    • Lucee and Apache have been restarted and reloaded
      several dozen times

    The lucee user is in the www-data groups.
    The web folders are all owneed by www-data:wwww-data and
    for now have
    permissions 777 (just to eliminate permissions as a
    problem)

    I have added virtual host configs to tomcat and Apache:

    /opt/lucee/tomcat/conf/servers.xml
    dev-branch

    /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dev-branch.conf
    this file has been butchered together from several fixes
    I have read
    online :frowning:

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName dev-branch DocumentRoot /var/www/dev-branch/site1 DirectoryIndex index.cfm Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all 
                 ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/www.domain.com-error.log

http://www.domain.com-error.log

         # Possible values include: debug, info, notice,

warn, error,
crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn

  I hope that is enough info!


  Thanks for any help.

HI All,

I sorted it.

The problem was the hostname matching. In my server.xml there was no
“localhost” default host. It was set to “127.0.0.1”…I dont know why I, I
don’t think I changed it. Also that default config had no CONTEXT tag (so
all sites were defaulting to /var/www/)

So in server.xml I

  1. changed the name of the default host to “localhost”
  2. Added a context tag with a docBase attribute

    <Context path="" docBase="/var/www/html" />

Restart Lucee and boom. It is now picking up both sites: “dev-branch” and
“localhost”.

Excellent, now that I have virtual hosts I can try to get our app running :slight_smile:

Thanks again for taking the time to reply :slight_smile:

Sorry update on my fix…yeah that broke the admin panels.

So instead I reverted the default host to 127.0.0.1 and added a localhost
virtualhost to server.xml.

Now both sites are up and I can access the admin panels.

Hopefully, thats it!On Friday, 18 December 2015 13:58:22 UTC, James Chappell wrote:
