Give executable permission to the bianry file.
root@railo [~]# chmod +x *.run
Execute the binary file to install railo
root@railo [~]# ./railo-*-installer.run
It is better to give the default settings while the installation.
Configure Apache to load Railo
1. Add an additional conf for railo's mod_jk module in apache.
Open apache configuration file (httpd.conf) and add the following entry in it. Here in my case it is '/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf'.
Include conf/mod_jk.conf
2. Add railo configuration entries.
Create a file, '/usr/local/apache/conf/mod_jk.conf' with the following contents in it.
#############################################################
<IfModule !mod_jk.c>

3. You have to distill apache configuration.
root@railo [~]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update
root@railo [~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Check if jk module is loaded with Apache. If it is enabled you will get a result like as follows.
root@railo [~]# httpd -M | grep jk
Syntax OK
jk_module (shared)
Once the installation completed, you can access railo administrator control panel using the following url.
http://<server ip>/railo-context/admin/server.cfm
Enable Railo for a cPanel Account
Here i am showing you how to enable railo for the domain, 'sudosu.in'. Document root of sudosu.in is '/home/sudosu/public_html'.
Open /opt/railo/tomcat/conf/server.xml in your favourite editor like vim or nano and add the following code section in it. There will be a sample code in /opt/railo/tomcat/conf/server.xml. You can give the following code just below the sample code.
Make changes in the following code by your domain name and it's document root.
<Host name="sudosu.in" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="/home/sudosu/public_html" />
<Alias>www.sudosu.in</Alias>
</Host>
Restart railo service once you have sone the above changes.
root@railo [~]# /etc/init.d/railo_ctl restart
Once you have restarted railo, check if the service is started or not. If there is any errors the service will ne be started and it will show 'No PID found' while checking the railo status.
root@railo [~]# /etc/init.d/railo_ctl status
* Railo/Tomcat is running (PID: 1979)
If the PID of railo is not running even after restarting railo, you have to check railo log to sort out the issue.
The following log wil help to find the issue.
root@railo [~]# tail -f /opt/railo/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
It will take time to completly UP the railo service, depending upon the number of sites added in server.xml it will vary.
Once you have done the above steps, the following url will be available for you.
http://www.sudosu.in/railo-context/admin/web.cfm
You can create a test cfm page using the following code. Save these contents in test.cfm file and copy it in the document root of the domain and access www.sudosu.in/test.cfm.
Test CFM Page
<cfset myVar="Hello World!">
<cfoutput>#myVar#</cfoutput>
<cfoutput>#Now()#</cfoutput>
