Virtual host in Railo 4.2.1.008-5 is not processing CFML- serving up the source code

dev google-group-archive

I’ve installed Bitnami’s Railo Stack 4.2.1.008-5 which is packaged with
Apache.

Railo installs OK and is serving up CFML on http://localhost:8080 or
http://localhost:8888 after I changed the port. I can get into the Railo
administrator and add a MySQL datasource and it verifies fine.

However the problem is when I add a virtual host- Tomcat is just serving up
the source code, it’s not processing the CFML.

I’ve gone over my server.xml with a fine toothcomb but I can’t find what
the issue is. I’ve made it match my (working) Lucee 4.5 install but no go.

This is what I have for the host:

<Host name="www.xyz.test" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"

autoDeploy=“true”>

www.xyz.test

Any ideas? I’m trying to get this particular version of Railo running as it
is what we are using in production and it runs the site fine while I’m
having issues with ORM entity loading in Lucee 4.5 (can’t use Lucee 5 due
to FW/1 incompatibility).

(can’t use Lucee 5 due to FW/1 incompatibility).

Which incompatibility?

You know that Railo isn’t supported anymore, right? If you look for the
Railo website, that’s gone as well, I believe. The plug has been completely
pulled.

Log in with Atlassian account won’t affect you, at all,
unless you want to use Clojure in your FW/1 apps. I’d check on the FW/1
Slack or google groups list what Sean means by “not supported”, but I would
guess that unless 861 is addressed, the FW/1 test suite is failing on Lucee
5, but I would assume that all tests not related to Clojure pass.

Comparing the Railo situation to the FW/1 on Lucee 5 situation, the latter
is vastly better in terms of “supported”.

Now I’m not specifically using cfmljure but Sean still has Lucee 5
explicitly listed as “not supported” in the documentation:

Getting Started with FW/1 | FW/1 - The Invisible Framework

I also had some other issue with Lucee 5 when I first tried it a few
months back, which was solved by going back to 4.5, what specifically I
can’t remember.

Anyway, the point of all this is simply to try to sidestep the question of
why I want to use a particular old version of Railo, why I don’t just
install the latest version of Lucee- I want to use it because it matches
what we have in production.

I have noticed other incompatibilities, like Lucee supports direct looping
over lists, which Railo doesn’t (https://luceeserver.
Products | Atlassian). Which is great, this is an improvement,
but it does mean that when I use that code on my dev machine it works in
Lucee but not in Railo when I put it up. So I want to try to have the
environment as similar as possible to avoid these situations.

If you have any ideas as to what it is in Lucee (if it even is something
in Lucee), or the code, or whatever else, causing the issue, I’d welcome
any pointers on that as well as we do want to move to Lucee in production
at some point in the future.

But for right now, I have code that works fine on Railo in production and
doesn’t work on Lucee on my laptop, so I want to try to get Railo working
on my laptop to see if that fixes the problem.

@Nando- I’m aware Railo isn’t supported, I’m well aware, yes, I noticed the
domain was down completely when looking to download it!

The whole point though here is that I want to mirror what we are using in
our production environment in my dev environment.

So if is there some bug in Railo 4.2 that causes failures, I’d actually
prefer to see that immediately when writing code in my dev environment
rather than it surprising me when I push the code up to production.

I included this stuff just to try to make clear why I am trying to get
Railo 4.2 working, it’s ultimately because that is what we are running on
the production server and if there is any bug that is manifesting itself
differently between the code in production and the code on my laptop, right
now first thing I have to try to figure out is whether that is down to the
differences between the server versions. And then I can start trying to
figure out whether it is due to something else, like for example (which
I’ve been tripped up by before) case sensitivity differences between Linux
and Windows.

I’m not trying to run Railo 4.2 because I think it is better or whatever,
I’m trying to run it because that is the version the code I am writing has
to run on.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense for me to move to Lucee 5 on my dev machine
if our production server is still running Railo 4.2, it only further
complicates my life.

Normally, if you see source code it would mean that the servlet mapping is not there or wrong.
Tomcat serves your cfml as static pages or is not being invoked at all.

Check out your install based on tomcat version,e.g.:

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/default-servlet.html

After changes to tomcat configs.
First is to try URL calls on native web port, I.e. 8888
Then the web port.
