IF you have a dedicated server or a VPS with Lucee (or the older version; Railo) installed and want to add more domains/instances to the service please follow these steps:
- SFTP or SSH into your server. Most people find it is easier to use a program such as FileZilla and SFTP (Secure) into the server to edit files
- Go to the directory: /opt/lucee/tomcat/conf (This is the default install directory we run on servers for Lucee, if you are using Railo then change 'lucee' to 'railo' in your path)
- Download / Edit the file: server.xml
- Go to the line where it has commented code and has: HOST ENTRY TEMPLATE
- Enter new lines after the commented code with the following replacing domain.com with your domain and the docBase with the path on your server to your public_html or wwwroot or httpdocs:
<Host name="domain.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="/home/username/domain.com" />
<Alias>www.domain.com</Alias>
</Host> - Once done upload and overwrite the old file, you may wish to take a backup before uploading over the current server.xml file
- Now you need to restart the Lucee service, you can restart the service by SSH'ing into your server and running the following command:
/etc/init.d/lucee_ctl restart - Allow a up to 30 seconds for the service to restart and then try going to your Lucee web administrator example below:
http://www.domain.com/lucee/admin/web.cfm - Finished, you can now set a password for your web administrator and start using CFML on that domain name.
If you need one of our team to do this for you we are always happy to.
*NOTE: Make sure not to have duplicates of the same hosts entry in your server.xml file as this will cause Railo not to start.
