Installation with Windows Server 2008 R2 / IIS 7.5

[Gavin Baumanis]

Hi Everyone,

I am guessing I am doing something really dumb... but have spent several days trying to work it out - and thought I better ask for some help.

If I am on the local server (via RDP).

My source files must be within the tomacat directory structure.

AND I MUST use the port number 8888.

If I request the application non-locally, I get told the files do not exist in c:\inetpub\wwwroot.

Does this mean I have to have two copies of my source files - this seems pretty wrong...

I have a brand new server.

The only thing installed is Java JDK, Lucee and the IIS server role.

what do I need to do - in order to only need "A" destination for my files?

Also - my app is not working... It is serving half "blank" pages.

the header works, kinda - in that staic files are missing but it correctly identifies the logged in user.

(LDAP works)

But after logging in I should see the main menu... but I get the header only.

No content , no footer.

Developer tools show no missing files.(404's).

I am hoping this is all related to the same thing... but genuinely have no idea and am getting a little frustrated! - ARGH!

Anyway - thanks for anything you might have to suggest.

Gavin.

any reason why  you can't use the windows installer? This adds the iis hooks in also... then use whatever port you like off iis.?

I do this, then set the iis directory to ANYWHERE on the server, then run the root site and you should be up and running...

It usually does. If you're just getting familiar with Lucee, try just getting a test domain working first. This will isolate your stack from any problems that might be occurring in your app. For example, try to get a "hello world" page working on a test domain.

The following documentation was written for the Railo Installer, but the same concepts can be applied to the Lucee installer as well:
https://github.com/getrailo/railo/wiki/Installation-InstallerDocumentation-MSAddingSites

If you cannot get a test domain working, then let us know the specifics, and we'll help you isolate the issue.

Hope this helps.

Hi There,

Got this sorted out.

Had nothing to do with Lucee.

IIS was not installed correctly.

Once I corrected the IIS install - Lucee installed perfectly!

Thanks for reporting back and letting us know! =)
