Hi. I have (again) restarted my openbd "transition" (I have very huge CF systems) and have been searching this group for info I am quite certain was here before. Has some topics been deleted/archived/moved?
Let me assure you that we don't delete or move anything, but I did notice that when I was digging up old threads about Flex remoting that the search in the Google Group does NOT search everything. Unfortunately that's just the behavior of the Google Group, and I don't think we have any control over it. I'll double-check and see if there's an admin setting of some sort but I don't believe there is.
I am for instance sure that I myself was pretty involved in discussions regarding Jetty setup and virtual hosts, as was many others. Now when I search for "Jetty" I get "6 results for jetty". None of them contains the discussions i took part in.
Right--unfortunately what I had to so was simply page back through the topics because the search was not pulling up what I knew was there. I did find it manually, however.
I understand the reasoning for setting up openbd in a way that is standard in the Jetty/Tomcat world, but I do also think that it should be possible to select a "global" option, like the 1.0 Jetty/OpenBD bundle.
And that's possible ... which is the way the Ready2Run build is set up, so id you're interested in how that's accomplished you can look at the config files in that build.
Are you asking how to do this in Tomcat? Jordan Michaels did a great job of outlining this in his overview of how he created his installer:
http://wiki.openbluedragon.org/wiki/index.php/Single_Instance_InstallAnd of course Jordan has an installer for CentOS (and I believe Ubuntu now as well), and I think he's working on one for Windows too.
At least the steps would need to be well documented since not all CF programmers are experts in configuring the servlet engines and neither do they wish to be.
I hear what you're saying, but I'm not clear what you're asking for.
I am currently working on openbd on Tomcat (used to be Jetty) because our hosting partner use that and altough the hostname alias is easy, it seems impossible to create alias for directories and keep openbd intact. I say "seems" because neither I or "they" manage to do it. It is extremely frustrating.
You'd have to explain more about what you mean by keeping OpenBD "intact" and provide more information on your setup and specifically what you're trying to accomplish.
Let us know specifically what you're after and we'll do our best to help. I completely understand that this is new to people, but A) I think it's a familiarity issue more than the servlet container side of things being difficult, and B) we *will* do everything we can to help people get up and running in the way they want to.
It really does help us to hear the specifics of what people would like to see that's currently missing from the documentation.
