ColdFusion 8, 2.0.63 and http-2.2.22 Connectors

Report · Oct 15, 2012

I have many CF apps running under a single version of apache. I need to pull them out one by one and upgrade apache for each one. I am running CF8 want to be able to run 2 different versions of apache, (http-2.0.63 and http-2.2.22).

First is is possible to run CF with 2 different versions of apache?

Second can I just do something as simple as edit files in /data/cf8/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/cfdocs/htmldocs to add mod_jrun22.so?

Sorry but I'm a CF noob admin.

I haven't used two versions of apache on the same server myself but in theory I think it should work fine. You will want to run the wsconfig binary (in your case it is probably located at /data/cf8/bin/wsconfig) to run the web server connector tool and then it will create an entry in /data/cf8/lib/wsconfig/{number} where {number} will probably be 2. The wsconfig binary should also edit the httpd.conf file to add the mod_jrun module config when you run it. Make sure you backup your lib/wsconfig/ folder first. You may be able to get this working without running wsconfig if you copy over the httpd.conf settings pertanent to mod_jrun from your first install, but I think apache 2.0.x is going to use mod_jrun20.so and apache 2.2.x is going to use mod_jrun22.so

Hi Peter, thanks for the responce. Let me try this. I assume the web server connector tool is a GUI tool?

If you run the tool without options it runs a gui, but you can also run it from the shell, see this doc for reference:

Hi Peter, Okay some thingr are makng more sence with the links you sent. Thank you. I am now stuck with the 2 questions;

First here is my situiation. I have a web server, server-1 and an app server, server-2. Apache runs on server-1 and CF runs on server-2.

I am logged into server-2 and that is where I am running wsconfig.

Issue 1: When I run the wsconfig, in the "Jrun Host:" field no matter what I type it errors and says "Could not connect to any JRun/ColdFuson servers on host server-2 (or server-1 or server-2.minacs.com etc...) what am I doing wrong?

Issue 2: Also when I run the wsconfig I clicked the "configure web server for Colfusion 8 applications". and neet to enter the Apache configuration Directory: Assuming the path for the apache config on server-1 is /data/web3/apache-2.2.22-web/conf what is the correct syntax?
