Virtual Dir in Railo/Lucee and IIS7
pat forbes
I have tried this with Lucee and now Railo 4.2.1.008 (windows 2008 and IIS7)
To add a "virtual directory" in IIS7, all that's needed is to:
1. Right click the "Default Web site",
2. Select the "Add Virtual Directory",
3. Put the name in the Alias field (ie, "my_site")
4. Add the Physical Path (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites\my_site)
and bada bing, it's done... ready to be used.
I can go to http://localhost/my_site/index.htm and it displays fine
But if I put a cfm file in that folder and go to http://localhost/my_site/index.cfm, using .cfm instead of .htm) I get an error:
Railo 4.2.1.008 Error (missinginclude)
Message Page /my_site/index.cfm (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site\index.cfm) not found.
That is is NOT where the file is... it should have been:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites\my_site\index.cfm
It should have said: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site\index.cfm
It appears that Railo/Lucee is not using the same virtual dir that was setup in IIS7.
Railo/Lucee thinks the vittual dir is c:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site
and IIS7 thinks it is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites\my_site (where it actually is)
If I put ANY htm file in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites\my_site, it will display with localhost/my_site/filename.htm
But if I put ANY cfm file in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites\my_site, and try to use localhost/my_site/filename.cfm I'll get the error.
btw: If I move the folder to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site and set the Physical Path (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site) everything works.
I just don't understand why a cfm file will not display if it's in a sub directory (ie c:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites)
It's like IIS7 handles the alias ok, but Railo/Lucee needs another setting so that it maps to the correct folder.
What am missing?
btw: I've been coding CFML since it was version .9 (yep, point 9)

looks to me like what you're missing is a Context/path entry in Tomcat/conf/server.xml, so for the Host element of that site, you want to add something like:
<Context path="/my_site" docBase="C:/inetpub/wwwroot/websites/my_site" />
and restart Tomcat for the changes to take effect.

Yep... I did type a lot. I wanted to make sure I explained it. Probably too wordy :)
I added the context path to the existing entry in server.xml like this:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\" />
<Context path="/my_site" docBase="C:/inetpub/wwwroot/websites/my_site" />
and then restarted Tomcat
but I get the exact same error:
It still shows
Message Page /my_site/index.cfm (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site\index.cfm) not found.
when its actually c:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites

If I use http://localhost/my_site/dummy.htm --> it works
If I use http://localhost/my_site/dummy.txt --> it works
If I use http://localhost/my_site/dummy.cfm --> it fails with:
Message Page /my_site/dummy.cfm (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site\dummy.cfm) not found.

I’m not seeing where this goes in context.xml
<Context useHttpOnly="true">
<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts -->
<!--
<Manager pathname="" />
-->
<!-- Uncomment this to enable Comet connection tacking (provides events
on session expiration as well as webapp lifecycle) -->
<!--
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.CometConnectionManagerValve" />
-->
</Context>
I’m really sorry for being able to get this.

So I add this line right under “<Context useHttpOnly="true">
allowLinking="true" ??Also FYI: From https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html:
“NOTE: This flag MUST NOT be set to true on the Windows platform (or any other OS which does not have a case sensitive filesystem), as it will disable case sensitivity checks, allowing JSP source code disclosure, among other security problems.”

I'm pretty sure that it will work if you put your physical path outside the root path of the context. the nesting of these "sites" seem to mess it up.

Thank you.
Re-iterating
Folder is “c:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites\my_site”
IIs7 Alias is “my_site”
localhost/my_site/index.htm WORKS
localhost/my_site/index.cfm FAILS
Any htm, txt, etc in my_site works,
any cfm fails
There has to be a setting somewhere that I am missing.

If I put in c:\inetpub\my_site - DOESN’T WORK
If I put in c:\railo\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\websites\my_site – DOESN’T WORK
If I put in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site it DOES work
But I already knew that c:\inetpub\wwwroot\my_site would work – I just didn’t understand why c:\inetpub\wwwroot\websites\my_site would not work

> localhost/websites/my_site/index.cfm
Exact same issue
But if I go to localhost/websites/my_site/index.htm it works
It’s just the cfm files that don’t seem to get mapped correctly

I take that back…
localhost/websites/my_site/index.htm
localhost/websites/my_site/index.cfm
both generate 500.23 internal server errors

I don't ever use IIS, so I don't know how things get wired up, but I would try adding an entry to your hosts file, e.g.:
127.0.0.1 dev.my_site.com
and then add a separate entry to the Tomcat server.xml like so:
<Host name="dev.my_site.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="c:/inetpub/wwwroot/websites/my_site" />
</Host>Setup the same hostname in IIS and then restart Tomcat and you should be good to go when you hit dev.my_site.com

Unfortunately, I cannot use that method. I have dozens of sites but none are using domain names. All are referenced by the ip address.
etc
I can make it work if I move each of the sites from the websites dir to c:\inetpub\wwwroot for example:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\site1
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\site2
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\site3
Then, IIS works as it should and, so does Railo/Lucee
I just didn’t want to have to move everything because they all share common files.
Thanks to everyone for their advice and help.

Subject: Re: [Lucee] Virtual Dir in Railo/Lucee and IIS7
Your application server is not going to recognize/pick-up IIS virtual directories. Your HTTP requests are going to IIS and then sending off all cfm/cfc to Lucee/Tomcat to interpret. So, your Virtual Directories are respected by all non-cf requests, but the cf requests will look for those files in whatever folder you told Tomcat to look for them.
I don't ever use IIS, so I don't know how things get wired up, but I would try adding an entry to your hosts file, e.g.:

Please google this group or the previous railo one.
There should be quite a few examples.

I went ahead and moved all of the sub directories into the c:\inetpub\wwroot directory and everything worked.
