Hook up Railo / Cherokee

Step 1

Start up your Cherokee web admin, by logging into your linux terminal and starting up the cherokee-admin -b. If you leave off the -b you can only access the admin via http://localhost/.

Then go to http://{yourdomain}:9090/ and login using the credentials above.

Please Note: Each time you run 'chrokee-admin -b' the password changes.

Step 2

1. Go to the Source at the top right
2. Click on the "+" button to add a new source.
3. Fill out the information
4. click "Add"
5. At the top left of the admin, click "Save"

Step 3

1. Go to the vServers tab at the top of the window
2. Select your website
3. Select the Behavior tab
4. Click on Rules Management

Step 4

1. Click on the "+" button
2. Select Manual
3. Select Extensions
4. Type: cfm,cfc in the Extensions textbox
5. Click "Add"

Step 5

1. You'll be presented with a list of extensions for that domain, choose the one you just added (cfm,cfc)
2. Select the Handler tab
3. Select HTTP Reverse Proxy in the dropdown
4. Scroll to the bottom of that window (proceed to step 6)

Step 6

And, I cannot stress this enough, don't forget to push this button when you're done:

Clustering is as easy as adding additional information sources in step 2 and then choosing additional railo servers in step 6.
