Railo Express Server

[fingerskier]

Hello,

I am trying to setup Railo Express (jetty) on an Ubuntu server.
If I hit mydomain.com I get the 'It works!' vanilla page; if I hit
mydomain.com:8888 I get the Railo default page. Is it possible to set
this up so I can go directly into the Railo instance without using the
port number? if so, how?

Thanks in advance for any help...

You'd need to configure Apache to route requests to Jetty.

This page has links to people blogs with how they set up their environment

You should be able to find something here that points you in the correct direction.

Alternatively, you could grab the Railo installer that does everything for you.

The Railo installer uses Tomcat, so if you particularly wanted Jetty it may not be any good for you.

Thanks for you replies.  My goal is to attain an ultra-light-weight installation.  Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought jetty would fit the bill better than apache.  In which case, are you saying I need a different version of it that includes the web-server component?

Oh, I misunderstood the request after reading Sean's response.

In the jetty XML config files there will be a port setting that you can change from 8888 to 80.

What version of Jetty are you using?

But if you already have Apache running on port 80, Jetty will not start.

Thanks for sticking with me.  I'm using the version that comes with the Railo Express installer...and it's working!

On a fresh Ubuntu server install I was able to just put railo-express somewhere and change the port number in /etc/jetty.xml to 80.  Now, when I run 'start' my root domain points to the railo instance.

Thanks for your help :)

Similarly you can also setup multiple hosts to run on the same server if you need to test with multiple domains etc...
