Side-by-Side with ACF

[Franc Amour]

Currently have a Windows 2012 server with IIS and ACF 10.  Am planning on migrating all sites to Lucee for windows (and eventually, to linux).  Several sites involved.   Would like to be able to run Lucee side-by-side with IIS on this server, so that one by one we can switch the sites over and test.  Is this possible with Lucee?  Is a separate item needed, like this one that was available at one point for Railo?

Hi, I wrote those instructions for Railo but we continued using the
same set up after switching to Lucee not long after. Worked very well
as a way of gradually getting off ACF without the cost/hassle of
setting up separate production environments.

Even having got rid of ACF, we continue to connect up each of our
Lucee sites manually using this method.

The only possible issue with running both though is that we were on
ACF version 9 which used JRun. ACF10 uses Tomcat so you might need to
be more careful to avoid port conflicts.

Cheers
Julian.

not sure how useful this will be; can IIS be put in front of CommandBox?

Regarding port conflicts... is there a summary somewhere, or the best way to determine what ports are used by ACF right now, and what alternate ports i could configure for Lucee?

I apparently have three java runtimes on this Windows 2012 64bit server:

ColdFusion 10 has a Java JRE in C:\ColdFusion10\jre\bin
There is also a JRE in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_91 (is this for browsers?)
And then there's the JDK in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40

I assume this last one is the one to use with Lucee, and might allow parallel install of lucre and CF as a result?

Thanks SO MUCH for the manual Lucee instructions... looking forward to migrating all sites by year's end if not sooner!

[Franc Amour]

disregard... used netstat to determine ACF 10 was not using the tomcat ports proposed by Lucee.  Your instructions were PERFECT!

Thanks.

Interesting problem has cropped up:

I removed the .cfm, .cfml, and .cfc handlers from the site i want to run under Lucee, and I can see the BonCode connectors in the list.  My index.cfm file simply contains a CFDUMP of the server scope.

If I load the site with no file specified, http://www.example.com, I get the server scope for the Lucee instance. If I specify the file, http://www.example.com/index.cfm, I get the ColdFusion 10 Enterprise instance.

What else do I need to remove in order to get ColdFusion 10 to completely ignore this particular site/application?

[Julian Halliwell]

Make sure that the <remove> elements in your Lucee site's web.config
use the exact names that ACF's handlers use. They may well be
something other than "cfmHandler" etc. Look in the root Handler
Mappings section of your IIS admin to see what names ACF is using
globally.

The ACF web connector was set for "all" meaning that in IIS, every website would be configured by default to use ACF, with no way to remove the ISAPI filter from individual sites.  To fix this, i took the time to independently add the ACF web connector to the sites manually, then remove the "all" entry and restart IIS.  I can now independently configure each host for either ACF or Lucee, and I'm apparently on my way. (There may have been an easier way to fix this, but i didn't have that many hosts to change so it worked out fine.  Wouldn't want to repeat that process on a server with a large number of hosts though!)

[Julian Halliwell]

We had ACF 9 configured with global handlers (for all sites) too, but
were were able to override them using <remove> elements in each Lucee
site's web.config as described in the blog post.

Sounds as if ACF10 does things differently.

Glad you got it working though, and hope your migration to Lucee goes well.

[Franc Amour]

I had <remove> elements for the ACF handlers (they were inserted into web.config when i used the UI on the server to remove them), but it didn't seem to work... however there may be something else that could be added to web.config to keep ACF from paying attention.  I'd research more, but with all these sites to migrate.... LOL
