Many people are asking us about an installation guide for their system. We will have guides for all different kind of operating systems on our new Railo website next month, but for the moment this list should be able help you with your installation problems.

Caleb Cushing ( xenoterracide )'s Gravatar once 3.1 is released and I have a few days and some help from the railo crew, it should be as easy as emerge railo on regen2 (and hopefully gentoo/funtoo too).

Jamie Krug's Gravatar FYI, Sean Corfield has also started a nice "series of step-by-step posts going through a variety of installation and configuration scenarios for Railo." Here are the posts I've seen thus far:

Mark's Gravatar It would be nice to see an official OS X installation guide. I'd like to migrate to OS X at work but my boss will not give the approval to purchase the hardware unless I can show him it works. The tutorial above from Luis Majano's blog will not work and its just a little weird for Railo to be linking to a community website for something the Railo team should be officially providing!

Sean Corfield's Gravatar @Mark, we'll be integrating the various installation guides into our wiki over time. In the meantime, have a look at the guides I blogged (links posted above by Jamie Krug), which are all OS X and cover Tomcat.

Herb's Gravatar Hey, I just installed Railo Express 3.0.3.000, and I'm used to prior Railo Express releases never trying to make any network connections outside of localhost (my machine).

However, my firewall tells me that Railo Express 3.0.3.000 (actually java.exe) now tries to access IP 217.160.254.116, UDP port 123, every time it starts. This IP resolves to "server.donkeyfly.com". Googling on this didn't yield any useful information.

I told my firewall to permanently block these connection attempts, and Railo Express loaded fine, and works fine.

What's with this attempted connection? Why is Railo Express trying to connect to computers over the Internet? Is this Java.exe looking for updates to itself, or something? I'd really like to know, because it's slightly worrying from a security standpoint. I don't want Railo Express making any connections outside my machine.

Thanks!

Sean Corfield's Gravatar server.donkeyfly.com is an NTP server (Network Time Protocol). Railo servers can be configured to synchronize their (server) time with an NTP server (under Settings > Regional > Time Server) so this is what you are seeing.

Robert Rawlins's Gravatar Thanks for this list of resources guys, I've been looking to get started with Railo for a while now and being able to run it alongside the other servers is a great benefit for me!

Look forward to learning a little more about the platform!

Martin's Gravatar Railo installation SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS. Its horrible. Terrible. Unacceptable.

even following these guides to the friggin T, it just does not work.

If you can't get it working, you can't use.

I have never seen such outright lack of and bad documentation on a promising app. I pissed away 6 hours on this BS.

I'm going back to CF9.
