If your VPS has the WCP or cPanel installed, the server automatically configures a new site in Railo when the domain is added through the control panel. However, if your server doesn't have a control panel and you need to add a site to your server manually, follow the appropriate instructions below.
Windows VPS - IIS / Tomcat
- Add the site in IIS.
- Add a new virtual directory named "jakarta" to your new site, and have it use "C:\railo\connector" as the physical path.
- Add the site as a "Host" in Railo's server.xml file, located at c:\railo\tomcat\conf\server.xml. (Be sure to make a backup of the file first.)
When you open the file in notepad, press ctrl+f and search for "<Host name=" (no quotes). Then add the host entry for the new site to this section. For example, your new host entry would look similar to this:<Host name="newdomainname.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Alias></Alias> <Context path="" docBase="c:\home\newdomainname.com\wwwroot\"/> </Host>
You'd just need to be sure to replace the host name and the path in the context docbase with the correct info.- If you need to add an alias to the domain, you would add it within the "Host" entry in an "Alias" tag like below"
<Alias>www.domain1.com</Alias>
- If you need to add an alias to the domain, you would add it within the "Host" entry in an "Alias" tag like below"
- Once this has been done, restart the Apache Tomcat Railo service and your site will begin processing CFML files through Railo.
Linux VPS - Apache (httpd) / Tomcat
- Add the site to Apache. If your server has cPanel but is not integrated with Railo, you can still add the site to Apache via cPanel.
- Open your server's Tomcat server.xml file (using vi, pico, etc). This currently defaults to /opt/railo/tomcat/conf/server.xml.
- Add a new host entry for the site similar to this:
<Host name="newdomainname.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Alias></Alias> <Context path="" docBase="/home/newuser/public_html"/> </Host>
Be sure to use the correct domain name/path in the example above. - After saving the file, restart Railo using the command below, and your new domain will start processing CFML:
service railo_ctl restart
