Migrating websites from IIS 6 to Apache Tomcat
- by Cheeky
I have 4 CFML coded websites currently running on Railo 3 (CFML engine using Resin) and IIS.
I would like to upgrade my server and websites to Railo 4, which no longer uses Resin, but runs on Apache Tomcat.
I have quite limited knowledge when it comes to web servers and I wanted to know what the process would be to move the websites from Railo 3 to Railo 4 without disrupting the live sites? Would there still be a need for IIS after the installation of Apache Tomcat? Does Tomcat run through IIS or are they two completely different things and would it be a complete move from IIS to Tomcat? If so, where would one then manage all those things one normally does in IIS, like default documents and host headers etc?
Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
