ColdFusion 2018 Web Server Connector Creation

[mladen_c]

Hi Everyone,

I have installed CF 2018 on Centos 7 and when I started the web connector creation I got weird results:

mod_jk.so and workers.properties files were created in /etc/httpd/conf folder.

My previous experience with CF 2016 is that those files should be in cf_root/config/wsconfig/{magical number} folder. Is it something new with CF 2018 that moved those files to /etc/httpd/conf or I am doing something wrong?

The command I have used for connector creation is:

/opt/coldfusion2018/cfusion/runtime/bin/wsconfig -ws Apache -bin /usr/sbin/httpd -script /usr/sbin/apachectl -dir /etc/httpd/conf/ -v

or even this one does the same:

java -jar /opt/coldfusion2018/cfusion/runtime/lib/wsconfig.jar -ws Apache -bin /usr/sbin/httpd -script /usr/sbin/apachectl -dir /etc/httpd/conf -v

Back in CF 2016 file structure was:

/etc/httpd/conf contained httpd.conf, magic and mod_jk.conf

/opt/coldfusion2016/config/wsconfig/1 contained mod_jk.so, uriworkermap.properties and workers.properties

Please advise,

Thanks!

Yes, they have made some changes in CF2018 to where the connector puts those files, if I recall correctly, that is normal for CF2018 to put them there.

Pete,

Thanks for answering.

Here is the other question: what if we create another site on the same server and then it creates "magic number" folder 2, what will happen with that site's workers.properties, will it overwrite the other one?

You see where is the confusion?
