Hi Support,
Where I can find exact documentation to setup this combo( Lucee 5.3.7.48 + Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS + Tomcat9 + Ngnix)
I walkthrough the (GitHub - foundeo/ubuntu-nginx-lucee: Script for standing up a Lucee server using nginx and Tomcat on Ubuntu) which does not work out. Please help me asap. Thanks in advance.
Don’t forget to tell us about your stack!
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Java Version: openjdk 11.0.11
Tomcat Version: 9
Lucee Version: 5.3.7.48
Regards,
Abhilash
how about taking the time asap to explain what doesn’t work 
You’re a developer right? imagine a customer came to you and said it doesn’t work, what’s your first question(s)?
Hello Zackster,
I am sorry to not include all stuff I’ve
I am trying to setup Lucee latest v5.3.7.48, this is my first time ever with Lucee!
What I did:
All services are running and active (Tomcat & Ngnix)
when I am access server IP address it does load a sample html file. I setup a new virtual host as “luceepoc.com” is getting an error

My question is “Does it possible to install Lucee with this s/w combo”? if so How can I rectify this issue?
If not possible with this combo version, which combo you suggest me to install with a Linux machine? ( providing doc would be appreciated"
Let me know if you need any further details.
Regards,
Abhilash
Does that file / path exist and does the account under which Lucee is running have access to it?
Sounds to me like a filesystem permissions problem / running under the wrong user
yes permissions are correct I believe in these locations

Ubuntu isnt the greatest choice for production.
apt-get update
apt-get install default-jdk -yz/
wget https://cdn.lucee.org/lucee-5.3.7.047-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run
chmod +x lucee-5.3.7.047-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run
install as stand alone, follow the prompts
apt-get install nginx -y
nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/tomcat.conf
upstream tomcat {
server 127.0.0.1:8888 weight=100 max_fails=5 fail_timeout=5;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name your-domain.com;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://tomcat/;
}
}
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/tomcat.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
systemctl restart nginx
Currently I am facing another issue:
Encounter an error while deploying the Lucee via tomcat. The problem is when I am starting the tomcat Unable to load server configuration. If I am comment on mod_cfml valve session, the error will clear.
The following command was used to get the sharedkey which I suspect the problem
openssl rand -base64 42 >> /opt/lucee/modcfml-shared-key.txt
#clean out any base64 chars that might cause a problem
sed -i “s/[/+=]//g” /opt/lucee/modcfml-shared-key.txt
----Catalina.out ERROR–
07-Jun-2021 17:12:58.244 WARNING [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.parseServerXml Unable to load server configuration from [/opt/lucee/tomcat/conf/server.xml]

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
mod_cfm is for Apache not nginx.
I know how this will sound, and I am not trying to make it sound that way. I fully, apologize in advance as I am not trying to be anything other than helpful.
If you are not sure, use Apache. You are not losing any significant performance gains by using Apache over nginx. If anything you will end up doing more work trying to get trivial items that have been added and very well documented to work in nginix versus spending all of 3 minutes working with with Apache.
Apache remains widely popular as it works, and when actually tweaked for performance runs circles and scales better than nginix. Nginix is for niche blogs and piggy bloated python installs that for a lack of actually writing decent code, just want to throw more hardware at something.
Antyrate, I digress
You are trying to point lucee to Apache, when Lucee should be hanging out in Tomcat Raw mode (port 8888) and the config above would get you to taking nginx port 80 and causing it to make the connection to port 8888
Reinstall lucee
do not bother with the configuring it for your webserver
follow the prompts above
start lucee
restart nginx
It will work.
Option 2
apt-get remove nginx * /y
rm -rf /opt/lucee *
apt-get update
apt-get install apache2 apache2-devel* /y
chmod +x lucee-5.3.7.047-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run
./lucee-5.3.7.047-pl0–linux-x64-installer.run
now follow the prompts
when done
systemctl enable apache2
/opt/lucee/bin/ctl_lucee start
enjoy
Hey Terry,
Thanks for the quick jump on… I was tried your option-2 (w/ Apache) which was successful)
But here project required this combination of s/w (Ubuntu + Lucee + Tomcat + Nginx) that is what I am trying to get install
According to GitHub - foundeo/ubuntu-nginx-lucee: Script for standing up a Lucee server using nginx and Tomcat on Ubuntu he was installed successfully a long back ago with different versions of same combo.
here you go Nginx would support mod_cfml mod_cfml - Installation - NGINX which required to configure a Tomcat Valve where in sever.xml file thats where I am stuck with an error
Btw this lucee s/w is so crazy… They don’t have proper docs for this combo… DAMN!! wasting the time… and very less support though. Thanks Terry for your kind reply!!
You would find server.xml in luceeroot, which is /opt/lucee/tomcat/conf/ if you install with defaults.
If its someones cloud server, make sure selinux is disabled.
vi or nano /etc/selinux/config
then make sure
SELINUX=disabled
if its not change it and reboot.
@Abhilash from the error it looks like server.xml is not valid xml. Without pasting your mod_cfml shared key, what is on line 175 of server.xml? I think the problem you are facing might be due to using Ubuntu 20.04, the script you are using has been tested for Ubuntu 18.04 and has not been updated/tested on 20.04 yet.
@Terry_Whitney you can use the mod_cfml Tomcat Valve with nginx. There are two parts to mod_cfml the Tomcat Valve, and the Apache Module.
Disabling selinux is not usually necessary. It might be a good troubleshooting step to disable it, but I’ve found that it may just need a little config to get it working when you have selinux enabled.
Cool to know @pfreitag about mod_cfml
I always found its easier to just disable selinux, install everything you need, re-enable and re-test as needed.
Good point! Very, very, vey common is also that cfml folks (including me ) tend to set tomcat directives in server.xml or web.xml as cfml comments with <!--- ... ---> (triple dash) instead html comments with <!-- ... --> (double dash). I think Tomcat just won’t start with triple dashed comments.
Thanks Andreas for heads up.
I’m trying with Tomcat10.0.6. Its running fine but mod_cfml1.1.11v has an issue with SharedKey.
Thanks Zackster
Yes it is… default lucee.XXXX.run file should work without any issues. I tried that was successful but client requirement is Ubuntu + Lucee + Tomcat + Nginx Combo with latest one. I am trying to write some scripts to get install it with reference of Foundo(which is very older)… As a DevOps engineer I need to automate everything on prod so customised installation would be great!
It would be great if the installer also supported Nginx
The install scripts are all here, PRs welcome
@pfreitag Thanks a lot. Finally your script is working well with “Ubuntu 18.04” all good!!
The good thing is no complaints at all with that script. You awesome!
Presently I am trying to deploy *.cfm codebase into the new document root.
- I created a new document root eg: example.com then put a sample index.cfm which is working and loading fine in any browser
- I pulled all cfm code files from working website (Windows + IIS + Coldfusion) into our new Ubuntu + Lucee server, we have a index files inside all directories and sub directories that means I disabled that sample index.cfm then checking on browser which is complaining “403 Forbidden
" so I turned on autoindex where in example.com.conf that was successfully listed all directories then if I explored to index.cfm under the same directory is complaining " This page isn’t working” so I modified some NGINX conf file with redirection which shouldn’t works at all.
Any advise would be appreciated!
