Installing on Railo 3.3.1 MAC OS X

[James Eisenlohr]

Hello Peter,

Thank you for sharing cfRegex!

I got interested in using cfRegex after seeing your your StackOverFlow post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3046437/regex-find-content-question 

I am having issues installing it with Railo 3.3.1 on Mac OS X though. The instructions say to copy Regex.cfc to 2 locations. In step 3, the {railo-server}/context/components/ directory does not exist? Any suggestions?

Thank you,

James

Hi James, thanks for your interest. :)

The directory will definitely exist (since Railo itself has files in it), but it might be in a different location.

If you have performed a WAR install, there is no server-level components directory, and you should instead use the WEB-INF/railo/components directory.

If this is not a WAR, can you confirm which method you used to setup Railo? (e.g. using Railo installer, configured manually, etc)

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your quick response!

I just used the Railo installer for OSX. 

Folder structure I have:

• /Library/Railo/lib/railo-server/context/library/tag/
• /Library/Railo/lib/railo-server/context/library/function/
• /Library/Railo/lib/railo-server/context/components/ <--- missing folder
• /Library/Railo/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/railo/components/
• /Library/Railo/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/railo/library/tag/
• /Library/Railo/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/railo/library/function/
• /Library/Railo/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/mysite/WEB-INF/railo/components/
• /Library/Railo/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/mysite/WEB-INF/railo/library/tag/
• /Library/Railo/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/mysite/WEB-INF/railo/library/function/

Where should I put all the files? Under "mysite" folder's WEB-INF?

Thanks,

James

[Peter Boughton]

Yes, putting them under mysite's WEB-INF will work. (The only downside is you would need to repeat this each time a new site/context is added.)

I'll need to check if this is expected behaviour for the installer, but in the mean time I've added a quick note to the instructions regarding this.

Thanks,

Peter

[James Eisenlohr]

It works! Thank you, Peter!

Any update on when cfregex will be available as a Railo extension?

James

[Peter Boughton]

Unfortunately no updates at the moment - it's not much work, but I've had other priorities get in the way.

[James Eisenlohr]

I know all about other priorities! Thanks! :)
