Thought I'd post this separately to the last 5.1.6 announcement as
Marco you'd ask what my experience was like.

In short - interesting :-). I have it working but here's a step by
step of what I needed to do to get it working.

Firstly the comment that Railo 3.1.0.015 doesn't work with FarCry
5.1.x was my first issue and thanks for pointing that as I'd spent a
whole night trying to get it to work before this.

For those that don't know the problem I hit was this bug -
http://bugs.farcrycms.org/browse/FC-1866

This relates to some custom functions that are used to emulate CF tags
for use in CFScript. Railo seems to have a problem with using the
phrases "query" and "dump" as function names. Probably some reserved
names.

----

1) So first job was to downgrade my copy of Railo which I've now moved
to the stable release of 3.0.3.000. I know that it works in versions
up from this but I felt it best to go with stable rather than beta
releases to save complication.

2) After a few tweaks and file uiploads I then managed to get into the
FarCry installation wizard. Everything went fine until I got to the
setup of the metadata. At that point I started getting Java StackFlow
errors. The machine I'm running this on has a few Railo instances and
there is only 256Mb of RAM. The JVM is set to default as well so the
problem here is likely to be my machine running out of memory more
than anything but it's still something to note.

3) I decided at that point to do a manual install. Setting up the
projects and database from a "vanilla" copy of FarCry I've got running
on my own laptop. This is where I hit the next issue :-).

Initially I was getting a lot of errors about tables not being found.
For example dmProfile and farLog. There seems to be some case-
sensitive issue going on here and this is something I'm still hitting
now. Code is referring to different cases in both table references and
templates. I tweaked my mySQL configuration file (my.cnf) and set the
lower_case_table_names to 0 but still all this seemed to do is change
the error message.

The only alternative I felt left was to change the tables and template
names myself to be all lower case to suit the setting and that was
letting me continue from there. Slow process though as there was a few
tables.

4) So at this stage I now have a Moilio template appearing and I can
log into the webtop fine. I'm still getting a lot of random errors
about different things so next job was to update the FarCry core
version I'm using from 5.1.0 to 5.1.6.

End result - not bullet proof but FarCry is a LOT more stable thanks
to Daemon's hard work with this one ;-).

I'm going to be using this for a website in the near future so I'll be
pushing it more over the next month or so but I thought I'd report
this incase anyone else finds it helpful.

So just to summaries I'm now running the following -

CentOS
Railo Community Edition 3.0.3.000
FarCry 5.1.6
mySQL

Cheers,
James
