Railo Installer News

May 10, 2011 · By Todd Rafferty · 1 Comment

Jordan Michaels recently posted news about the Railo Installer on the Railo-Beta mailing list, I thought I'd share on the blog:

Greetings!

Have you ever wanted to add new sites to your Railo setup without having to mess with adding the new site to Tomcat, restarting, and then making sure everything was working? Well, now you can! The Railo Installer Patch Level 1 (pl1) release of Railo 3.2.2.000 - now in BETA - includes the option to install the VHost Copier along with Railo. The VHost Copier was written by Railo Team Member Paul Klinkenberg and automates the process of copying a new site configuration from Apache or IIS into Tomcat. No need to modify the server.xml file yourself, and no need to cause server down time with a Tomcat restart.

The VHost Copier module is manageable and upgradeable via the web-based Railo Server administrator, and can be removed at any time should you decide you do not want to use the VHost Copier at a later date.

Beta Downloads are available here:

Details about the VHost Copier are here:

Huge thanks to everyone involved in making this release: Paul Klinkenberg, the Railo Team, and the Installer Translation Team. Thank you! If any on this list are willing, we'd love to hear some feedback on it!

    It would be even more useful if it allowed you to choose which sites are copied rather than copying all sites, not all sites on server use railo.
