- [BUGFIX] Windows: IIS7 on Windows 7 is now fully supported (jordan)
- [BUGFIX] Windows: 32-bit Installer will now auto-detect 64-bit machines and will install the 64-bit connector when being installed on a 64-bit version of Windows.

More rarely-used aspects of the JDK that ships with the installer may be removed at a later date in order to reduce the download size even more. (jordan)
- [Update] Windows: The JDK has been replaced with a simple JVM for Windows installs. The JDK was more then most folks needed, and switching to the simple JVM allowed for a smaller installer. (bilal)
- [BETA] OSX: A new OSX build is now available for BETA testing. (bilal)
- Dutch (Thanks to: Paul Klinkenberg)
- German (Thanks to: Bilal Soylu)
- Italian (Thanks to: Salvatore Fusto)
- Portuguese (Brazilian) (Thanks to: Ronan Lucio)

The Railo 3.1.1.000 pl0 installer was released to the "railo-dev" mailing list on 10/12/2009 by Jordan Michaels. The major revision for the release was the new Install Platform generously provided by BitRock Software. Jordan was able to use the !BitRock Install Builder program to create the installers. The new install platform provided the ability to support Windows Installers in addition to Linux Installers, and made the process of maintaining those installers manageable. The following announcement was posted:
Hey Folks, Vivio is proud to announce the immediate availability of Graphic Installers for both Windows and Linux. The graphic installers for Windows are completely new, so they will be the focus of my attention in this post. Those of you who are familiar with the console installers Vivio previously released, just know that the GUI installers available for Linux work in both GUI-mode and in Text-mode, so Linux has just been given more user-friendliness there. Downloads are available here: http://railo.viviotech.net/ Each installer contains everything necessary to get up and running right away, including Sun's JDK 1.6, Tomcat 6, and the latest production edition of Railo. Download sizes range between 120-130 MB. The installers will also install the mod_jk connector if you select it. For Linux, Apache 1.3, 2.0, and 2.2 are all supported. For Windows, only IIS7 is supported. IIS6 users will need to install the connector manually. IIS7 is available by default on the following Windows OS's: Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. The Installer will auto-detect IIS7. If you have IIS7 installed, the Railo Installer will prompt you if you want the IIS7 connector installed as well. If you don't have IIS7 installed, you will not be prompted. I've received several requests for IIS6 support, so it may be added in the future. If you feel IIS6 would help you get others interested in using or continuing to use CFML, please add your voice and let me know. For Windows users, after the install is finished, you'll find links to the Railo Administrator, as well as Railo-Tomcat Service controls in your start menu. For convenience, the server.xml file (which needs to be modified each time you add a new site to your server) has also been linked to in the start menu. Just edit the file, restart Railo-Tomcat, and your new domain will be all set. Please let me know if you have any questions or run into any problems. I've tested the Windows installer on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008. I've tested the Linux installers on CentOS 5 and Ubuntu Jaunty.
The Railo 3.1.1 installer was released to the "railo" mailing list on 8/21/2009 by Jordan Michaels. It existed only as a Linux installer, as it was just a BASH shell script at the time. The following message was posted:
Vivio's Linux Installer for Railo has been updated. Downloads are available at the following URL: http://[NO LONGER ACTIVE]/ Change Log: - [UPDATE] Uses latest version of Railo 3.1.1 - [UPDATE] Contains latest version of mod_jk (1.2.28) - [FIX] Fixed an error that would occasionally install the 32-bit mod_jk connector on a 64-bit system - [Fix] Fixed an issue where the installer would fail if run from the "opt" directory and Railo was installed to the default of /opt/railo. This installer is recommended for use with fresh installs. If you are using a previous version of the installer, you can update your installation by using the Railo Administrator Upgrade feature. If you encounter any problems with the upgrade (I haven't tested), you may also upgrade by downloading the railo-3.1.1.000-jars.tar.gz file, extracting it, and dropping the new Railo jar files into the "[railo install]/lib/" folder. Don't forget to restart with the "railo_ctl" control script. Please let me know if you run into any issues with these installers or how they function once installed. Have fun!
The BETA version of the Railo 3.1 installer was released to the "railo-dev" mailing list on 7/2/2009 by Jordan Michaels. It existed only as a Linux installer, as it was just a BASH shell script at the time. The following message was posted:
Hi Folks, Okay, I've got two versions set up and ready for testing at the following URL's: 32-bit (122 MB): http://[NO LONGER ACTIVE]/downloader.cfm/id/77/file/railo-3.1-BETA-linux32-pl0-beta.sh 64-bit (116 MB): http://[NO LONGER ACTIVE]/downloader.cfm/id/78/file/railo-3.1-BETA-linux64-pl0-beta.sh These are meant to be run for the console, since most server OS's don't use a windowed system in order to free up resources. Just open up a console and run the following Usage in CentOS/RHEL: # chmod 744 railo-3.1-BETA-linux32-pl0-beta.sh # ./railo-3.1-BETA-linux32-pl0-beta.sh Usage on Ubuntu: > chmod 744 railo-3.1-BETA-linux32-pl0-beta.sh > sudo ./railo-3.1-BETA-linux32-pl0-beta.sh Then just answer the questions it presents to you while you install. 90% of the documentation I wrote for this project on the OpenBD wiki also applies to the Railo version, so it's nice that it's already mostly documented there: http://wiki.openbluedragon.org/wiki/index.php/OpenBD_Installer Once you've got it installed, you can start and stop Tomcat/Railo with the "railo_ctl" script. If you opt to have Railo start at system boot, there will be two copies: /opt/railo/railo_ctl /etc/init.d/railo_ctl (optional during install) Either of these can be used to start and stop the server: /opt/railo/railo_ctl start or /opt/railo/railo_ctl stop or /opt/railo/railo_ctl restart The administration URL's will be as follows: Admin: http://[SERVER IP ADDRESS]/railo-context/admin/server.cfm ROOT WebApp: http://[SERVER IP ADDRESS]/railo-context/admin/web.cfm Things to look for while testing: - Anything unusual happen during the install process? Even if you're not sure if it's unusual or not, let me know about it. - Anything not clear about the install process? How can I make it more clear? - Anything not work for this install that works for another installation method? This is usually the result of a default configuration error that needs to be corrected. IMPORTANT: If you're using a proper domain name, you will need to configure Tomcat's server.xml file for that domain. The server.xml file has been commented to help make it easier. Just copy and paste the example, and change the two values appropriately. This installer has been configured to work through Apache to make it more compatible with control panels and the like. It also installs the Apache connector (a process that usually requires compiling, etc), so hopefully that piece is a lot easier then normal. I look forward to any feedback you have to offer!
