Hi Alan,
Sounds like the OpenBD installers were made for you. =)
You can grab a modern copy of the OpenBD 2.0.2 Linux installer here:
http://openbd.viviotech.net/
Run it as "root" on a fresh Linux install (WITH Apache but WITHOUT
Tomcat) and it will walk you though the process. It contains a copy of
the JRE, Tomcat, and configures OpenBD as a common class - so you have
one OpenBD administrator that handles the entire server. If you have
Apache installed, it will also configure the mod_jk connector in Apache
for you, so CFML requests are passed to Tomcat.
These installers also include mod_cfml, so you shouldn't have to
configure Tomcat in addition to Apache. Your Apache config should be
added to Tomcat automatically as you add sites to Apache.
Documentation for mod_cfml is here: http://www.modcfml.org/
I'm still working on the 2.0.2 Windows installer for OpenBD, but it will
be ready shortly.
Let us know if you run into any problems with it. We'll be happy to help.
Warm Regards,
Jordan Michaels

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!
