Linux Arm64 / aarch64 Installers for 6.2

Zackster · March 11, 2025, 11:33pm

I’ve updated the installer to support Linux Arm64, coz my Pixel couldn’t run the x64 installer!

Test build attached to the ticket (Tomcat 11, Java 21, Lucee 6.2.1.58-SNAPSHOT)
https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-4464

Anyone got an Arm64 Linux machine to try it out? It’s passing the installer smoke tests

Downloads page updated to list arm64 installers, it will now also show available installers for non release versions (if we publish them)

I also tweaked the docker stuff on download.lucee.org to link back to docker hub

However, mod_cfml needs an arm64 build, so it won’t work just yet, anyone want to help build one and submit a pr?

I tried the installer and got an error on the last step.

Running Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 6.8.0-1021-aws aarch64)

Lucee ran fine on port 8888 but couldnt proxy anything via apache.

I tried building the mod_cfml.so on an arm ec2 instance and have the built file.

Zackster · March 13, 2025, 4:08pm

nice! can you file a PR with the mod_cfml.so added here?

mee_nothus · March 13, 2025, 4:31pm

never done one before on github, think I’ve done this

Zackster · March 13, 2025, 5:24pm

I just need the Win x64 VC17 mod_cfml.so, so I added a github actions build

mee_nothus · March 13, 2025, 5:42pm

manually enabling proxy and proxy_http then adding this to the apache config works.

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
	ProxyPreserveHost On
	ProxyPassMatch ^/(.+\.cf[cm])(/.*)?$ http://127.0.0.1:8888/$1$2
	ProxyPassMatch ^/(.+\.cfchart)(/.*)?$ http://127.0.0.1:8888/$1$2
	ProxyPassMatch ^/(.+\.cfml)(/.*)?$ http://127.0.0.1:8888/$1$2
	ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8888/
</IfModule>

so guessing its just the install_mod_proxy.sh has some issue

install_mod_proxys.sh does a lot of dance moves trying to impress, find the correct modules!

I just updated it to support AlmaLinux Jira

github.com

lucee/lucee-installer/blob/master/lucee/linux/sys/install_mod_proxy.sh#L348


      
          }
          
          function checkModProxy {
          	# configure found variable
          	modProxyFound=0;
          
          	# check the variations we know of. Additional functional variations can be
          	# added to this loop as we find them.
          	if [[ $myLinuxVersion == *RedHat* ]]; then
          		# look for proxy_html_module in stdout (ubuntu)
          		echo -n "Checking for 'proxy_html_module' in stdout (using httpd)...";
          		searchFoundProxy=`$myApacheHttpd -M | grep -c proxy_html_module`;
          		if [[ "$searchFoundProxy" -eq "0" ]]; then
          			echo "[NOT FOUND]";
          		else
          			echo "[FOUND]";
          			modProxyFound=1;
          		fi
          
          	else
          		# look for proxy_html_module in stdout (ubuntu)

there are two install logs, one in /opt/lucee and one in /tmp do you see any errors in there?

does apachectl -M throw an error?

Zackster · March 13, 2025, 6:17pm

I’ve added github actions to build mod_cfml.so as well

mee_nothus · March 13, 2025, 6:44pm

its empty

Zackster · March 13, 2025, 7:07pm

ah, to quote @webonix

Zackster · March 14, 2025, 8:23am

@mee_nothus PR merged, thanks, welcome onboard as a Lucee contributor!

I’ve done the following

updated the mod_cfml shell script to be arch aware
renamed the installer to aarch64 (from arm64)
added apache tests with mod_cfml to the CI

mee_nothus · March 14, 2025, 9:15am

Glad to be of some use.

tried to the new installer is still erroring with the same output as I posted above not detecting apache httpd etc

Zackster · March 14, 2025, 9:20am

working on that!

mee_nothus · March 14, 2025, 6:25pm

tested the latest snapshot installer and it works without issue!
