Docs for installing Lucee?

Question

I wish to use an alternative to ColdFusion. Researching Railo, I found the pointers to Lucee. There do not appear to be any docs explaining how to set up a Linux/Apache/Tomcat/MySQL platform for Lucee, and then install Lucee on top of it. I've tried setting up such a platform for Railo, but got stuck trying to get Railo talking to Apache over both http and https.

I wish to avoid the "all in one" installers that include Tomcat, as I'd like to use yum to keep Tomcat up to date on security patches.

If I've just overlooked the Lucee docs, can someone please point me to them? And if they don't exist, how could one "translate" the Railo docs to work with Lucee, and get the Apache-Lucee connection working?

UPDATE 2016-04-06: Thanks to all who answered. It looks like you've helped a number of people! I never was able to get Lucee running, but this was for lack of time, not lack of instructions. The powers that be also decided to move to an outsourced web design and hosting solution, and the firm that won the bid uses Drupal.

Answer 1

For Linux installs (Ubuntu) Digital Ocean has a great tutorial on installing Railo. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-railo-cfml-engine-with-tomcat-and-apache-on-a-debian-7-or-ubuntu-13-vps

You can follow these same instructions to install Lucee just...

replace

wget www.getrailo.org/down.cfm?item=/railo/remote/download/4.1.1.009/tomcat/linux/railo-4.1.1.009-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run -O railo.run

with:

wget http://lucee.viviotech.net/downloader.cfm/id/136/file/lucee-4.5.1.022-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run -O railo.run

And everything else is the same.

note - If you want to get the latest installer just go to http://lucee.org/downloads.html scroll down to the Installers section and right-click the Linux 64-Bit link and copy the link url. Then replace the link in the wget above with the one you just copied.
