I have development server setup running Adobe Coldfusion8 (.war install) on top of Caucho Resin v3.1.9. (CentOS 5.3-64bit)
note: This is my first experience with Resin. I am trying to run Coldfusion8 on top of Resin as I was suggested that this would give me great performance gains.
My question is: how I can easily integrate multiple apache virtualhosts like my existing configuration.
On my production server, running CF8, standalone install on Adobe supplied JRun via mod_jrun22.so in apache, I have virtual hosts setup for each of my websites pointing to ‘/var/www/*/html/, similar to the following (simplified):
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/www.mydomain.com/html
ServerName www.mydomain.com
ServerAlias mydomain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/www.myotherdomain.com/html
ServerName www.myotherdomain.com
ServerAlias myotherdomain.com
</VirtualHost>
This configuration allows me to setup virtual hosts through apache pointing to ‘/var/www/*/html’ so I can quickly deploy websites with Coldfusion Apps.
Well with Resin, it appears I have to also setup <host> tags for each one of my virtual hosts in ‘/opt/resin/conf/resin.conf’. Thus, having to completely duplicate apache virtual hosts.
What I really want is to be able to setup my apache virtual hosts and then have resin compensate accordingly.
I need a better solution and am completely open to entertaining any suggestion.
In the resin docs it shows an example using regex to change the root directory. Could you create a similar regex that just caught any .com site and set the document root?
From playing with resin/railo and caucho I couldn’t find a way at all to just have the virtualhost configuration in apache only. You have to duplicate it to some level anyway. Either by a regex entry or as I did (only had about 10 domains) create a entry for each site.
