Dear gentlemen and scholars,
I’ve been a JavaScript and CFML developer for many years and I think what
you guys are doing with Lucee is long overdue (and plain awesome!). It
gives me hope of a new future for CFML, or better yet for Lucee and the
Lucee dialect and what it can be. To me, getting rid of all the bloat that
has crept into CF over the years (ui tags, excel tags, exchange server, pdf
stuff, even orm in my opinion) and making a super lean, extendible core
with a focus on performance above all else is a brilliant game plan.
I’m not a Java developer, but I do have some ideas how I can possibly help
(with spreading the word) which I will get into at a later date.
For the moment, I wanted to ask a question. I got Mike’s vagrant Lucee box
up and running in no time (thanks Mike!) and I was processing CFML with the
Lucee engine (version 4.5) in a matter of minutes. However, the very next
thing I tried to do was create and run a .lucee file and was prompted to
download the file when I hit the url, suggesting the server didn’t know how
to deal w/ that extension.
After thinking for a moment I realized that .lucee and the Lucee dialect is
a Lucee 5 thing, so that all made sense. However, I then tried to follow
the upgrade steps found
here: lucee / Lucee / wiki / Lucee 5 Upgrading Railo — Bitbucket and
couldn’t get it to work. I’m gonna give it another go soon, but I’m a
server admin scrub so I find these things a bit challenging.
Question, are there some docs around basic Lucee server commands in the
docs somewhere that I missed? I know perhaps it’s different based on which
linux distro you’re on (is it?) but after replacing jars, etc., how do I do
simple things like starting, stopping and restarting the Lucee server from
the linux command line?
Sorry for my ultimate Lucee newb status, but thank you for developing Lucee
and taking things to the next level!
