Lil bit of background I’ve been using CF since version 1 and then Railo,
now I’m experimenting with Lucee, really digging it and glad there is still
an movement behind CFML:
My install went smoothly except I’m having real trouble getting the
spreadsheet provider installed…
In this method, you will create your own temporary extension provider:
Download cfspreadsheet-lucee.zip
Extract into /path/to/your/wwwroot/luceeExtensionProvider (you should
then have 2 files in that folder: cfpoi.zip and ExtensionProvider.cfc)
Add a file
/path/to/your/wwwroot/luceeExtensionProvider/Application.cfc with the
contents component {}
Lucee Web Admin > Extensions > Providers: Add:
http://your_local_site_host/luceeExtensionProvider/ExtensionProvider.cfc (ensure
you are using the correct port in your setup)
Lucee Web Admin > Extensions > Applications: Click on
“” icon.
Click “Install” Button
Restart Lucee or Tomcat (depending on installation type)
I extracted (2) files from cfspreadsheet-lucee.zip (cfpoi.zip and
ExtensionProvider.cfc) to my web root, but here’s the confusion, I’m using
IIS and my webroot is c:\inetpub\wwwroot, but my website is actually setup
at c:\wwwroot2\www.WebsiteName.com\ … first I don’t know which i’m
supposed to extract these files, especially since my website folder has a
hosts alias pointing it to local.AgencyDash.com … I also don’t get the
part about add a file “Application.cfc with the contents component {}” am
I missing something I’m supposed to add here… was I supposed to add code
there? or was I suppose to extract the entire zip… then when I go to the
web admin and add the extensions in either case I get an error, I’ve
attached some screen shots of my provider settings and the folder
structures, any advice would be greatly appreciated… I apologize for
blurs, it’s a government system I’m working on.
I used that exact address… all I can point think of is that this address
is in fact a 127.0.0.1 fake HOST address for my internal purposes… I’ve
attached another screenshot if that helps… I really appreciate yourself,
I’d like to encourage my company to switch to Lucee and I’ve got everything
else working.

Hi Sean,
You just need to create a folder in a web accessible/browsable called
“luceeExtensionProvider” and in that folder you need the
“ExtensionProvider.cfc” file and the cfpoi.zip file. That’s it. The empty
Application.cfc is if you are creating a brand new site just for the
purpose of installing this extension.
Can you browse to http://local.AgencyDash.com and get a working cfml
page? If so, then add the folder and 2 files mentioned above to that
website’s root folder and you should then be able to add:
to the provider URL and get it working. Also, perhaps check that you are
using the correct port in the above URL?

OK after much trial and error I managed to get it installed,but only on the
web context… I had to add my provider location with the port number.
Spreadsheet showed up but it said POI didn’t exist, I restarted Lucee,
tried again and it seems to have installed, lets see if it works.

Well spotted, Thanks… I just noticed it myself and was about to post
it… presumably this was the same reason it didn’t work on the Server
admin, but then again that provider took.On Monday, 29 June 2015 13:42:02 UTC-4, Risto wrote:
