Hallo André and thanks for your fast reponse, im sorry i didn't provide any more info on that.
We've installed manually, i downloaded the tomcat from the apache website (we've got some picky customers and we've made some stable experiences with that tomcat version, hence we didnt install it via apt-get). I managed to figure out, that some part of the configuration used in the web.xml/server.xml was responsible for the creation of that many WEB-INF folders. I did all the configuration manually, following resources like http://corfield.org/entry/Railo_on_Tomcat__multiweb stated here. We got 7 websites running and when i reduced it to 1 site, the startup time went from 350s to barely 1 minute. But still, 1 minute is quite a long time for a server startup. Right now im configuring the "prepacked" Railo Server with Tomcat and try to get some more info on how to properly configure our own Tomcat. regards, René On Wed, Aug 13, 2014 at 5:55 PM, André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> wrote: > André Warnier wrote: > >> Rene Scheffler wrote: >> >>> Hey! >>> >>> I installed apache-tomcat-7.0.47 on debian and also installed and >>> configured railo 4.1.1.009. >>> I added the servlet for CFML and now i ended up with lots of WEB-INF >>> directories in my tomcat directory and the subdirectories. >>> A find gives me the following output : >>> ./lib/WEB-INF >>> ./bin/WEB-INF >>> ./work/WEB-INF >>> ./logs/WEB-INF >>> ./temp/WEB-INF >>> ./conf/WEB-INF >>> ./default/examples/WEB-INF >>> ./default/WEB-INF >>> ./default/manager/WEB-INF >>> ./default/host-manager/WEB-INF >>> ./default/ROOT/WEB-INF >>> ./default/docs/appdev/sample/web/WEB-INF >>> ./default/docs/WEB-INF >>> ./webapps/WEB-INF >>> ./webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF >>> >>> The tomcat takes quite a while (350s) to start up and this is really >>> starting to annoy me.
