Coldfusion 11 and Lucee Server on Same Machine

Question

I have Installed Lucee and Coldfusion 11 on Same Machines, Both works fine but there is a catch.

I don't remember how many tomcat versions i installed because ColdFusion has its own, lucee has its own, ColdFusion runs on Port 8501, while lucee runs on Port 8888

But to make run both, i am not able to do it, I have to shutdown lucee to run ColdFusion and vice versa.

I forgot how i managed to find the error, but it was something related to the

shutdown port which 8009

i suppose

How can i fix this

Answer 1

You can change the ports that Tomcat listens to in your Lucee installation by modifying your tomcat server.xml file, located here by default:

C:\lucee\tomcat\conf\server.xml

The specific configurations you'll be looking for are:

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

and

<Connector port="8888" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           redirectPort="8443" />

and

<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />

Hope this helps!

You can run both (since they are on different ports) -- it is just a matter of configuring your connector on the front-end web server to proxy connections to whichever one you want. On Windows you can configure Boncode AJP on a per-site basis, and it's better than ACF's default ISAPI connectors anyway.

Sounds like you're not on Windows, so you would set up mod_proxy or mod_jk to do this instead.

If you're just asking 'how do I shut down Coldfusion,' then there are shutdown scripts for Tomcat with both ACF and Lucee in the directories where you installed them.
