Lucee 5 on Mac OSX, need help with with custom host name

I’m having trouble configuring Lucee on Mac OSX 10.11.5 (El Capitan) to
work from “http://local.luceetest.com:8080”. Basically, Lucee is not
handling requests and .cfm files are returned as plain text. Here’s what I
did:

I installed Lucee 5 by deploying the WAR file - I following these
directions:

http://docs.lucee.org/guides/running-lucee/osx/installing-tomcat-and-lucee-on-os-x-using-the-lucee-war-file.html
(FYI, step 9, there is no lucee-inst.jar file, so I changed it to
lucee.jar, which does exist)

After the install, Lucee works, and I can access it from
http://localhost:8080 and http://localhost:8080/lucee/admin/web.cfm

Now I want to setup a new app in the host name: “local.luceetest.com” which
I want to map to “/Users/JP/Dev/luceetest/”, so I changed the /etc/hosts
file to include:

127.0.0.1 local.luceetest.com

Then I changed server.xml to include this mapping:

</Host

I added a simple CFM file in: /Users/JP/Dev/luceetest/index.cfm that has

Hello World!

I restarted Tomcat

Now, when I navigate to: http://local.luceetest.com:8080/index.cfm, it’s
delivered as a plain text file, and the entire test file is served with all
the markup:

Hello World!

The good thing is that the file is being served by tomcat, but Lucee is not
getting its hands on it. What am I missing or how can I trace this request
and figure out why Lucee isn’t getting it?

FYI, I used configtest.sh to test my tomcat config and it passes.

Hi JP,

Take a look at the following thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lucee/fCnBe1_CS6Y

… we’re discussing this same kind of setup there. Basically, you’ll also need to edit your web.xml file and add the handlers that tell Tomcat what to do with Lucee-specific requests.–

That makes sense… do you have any idea where the paths should go? There
are 2 of them in that config:

lucee-server-directory → I have it going to /
tomcat/8.5.3/libexec/lucee-server/

lucee-web-directory → ?? where would this go?On Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at 4:37:04 PM UTC-6, Jordan Michaels wrote:

FYI, I got it to work by pointing lucee-web-directory to
/tomcat/8.5.3/libexec/webapps/ROOT/On Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at 4:57:33 PM UTC-6, JP wrote:
