I’ve started over in my attempt to get a CF engine running on my Mac. So far I have followed the instructions from the Lucee website:
And I have access to the Tomcat manager, the Lucee server context admin and the website context admin for localhost, and I can view the starter page at
I have downloaded mura and placed it in /users/marc/sites/www-murademo-dev
And created an entry in my hosts file pointing www-murademo-dev to 127.0.0.1
But I can’t seem to figure out how to set up this configuration so that I can have multiple websites that act as if they are live, but using my HOSTS file to serve them. I wanted to start with this Mura install, but I’d even settle for an index.cfm file with Now() in it, if it were running inside its own website context completely. =)
Any takers?

<Host name="example.com" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="/www/example.com/wwwroot/" />
</Host>
cd /path/to/wwwwroot/
box server start port=8081
You will have each server running on a different port, but it is SUPER easy to spin up an arbitrary server in any directory using this method. You also don't need to edit your /etc/hosts file.--

Thanks Pete,
I am pretty far down the route of setting up Apache2 which was already on the mac of course, and adding hosts files to the tomcat server.xml file seems to be the way to go. I am also using an app called VirtualHostX which makes adding virtual hosts to Apache very easy.
Adding the additional hosts to server.xml did the trick, as I had already found the means to connect apache to tomcat overnight.
It sounds like my configuration is closest to what a standard production environment would be (??), which is always my goal… I hate surprises when I take a working app and dump it into the datacenter and suddenly it… “can’t even.” LOL
I am really (really) liking how Lucee has a separate web admin for each site! The combination of Lucee with Mura… I feel like I’ve been coding in the stone ages for at least a couple years now… both have matured, and fairly quickly!!
