Hi All, I am a long time (since Allaire) CF user. We have decided to begin to migrate to the OpenBD server and I'm trying to set up my first server.
We currently use linux/Apache 2 (with VirtualHost)/CF ... would like to use linux/Apache 2 (with VirtualHost) and OpenDB. I have started a new server setup and have tomcat installed and working. I downloaded the openBD.war file and deployed it. Now I'm beginning to think I need to back up a bit. I have seen some info on how to configure the tomcat so that it uses the OpenBD as common files. I followed those and got a context-less blue dragon admin page. But when I try to do somethings it has a major error with "failed to write configuration file". I already don't like the default paths that tomcat seems to use (/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/) and would like to have the server installed into the /opt/ base directory (just for ease of remembrance / what I'm used to)... so I may have to back just for that. I have also seen that there is a ready-to-run jetty version on the downloads page. So I guess my questions would be: 1. will the read-to-run version work for apache / virtual hosts or should I stick with tomcat/apache and retry setting up the openbd app as common libraries? 2. is there a different way to accomplish my goal? Thanks for any and all comments! -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ google+ hints/tips: https://plus.google.com/115990347459711259462 http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en Join us @ http://www.OpenCFsummit.org/ Dallas, Feb 2012
