Requirements

Basic requirements for running the OxAlto Roombooking System

Server Requirements

Application Server
cfWheels requires a CFML application server. Open source examples include Railo, Lucee (recommended). Commercially your only option is Adobe Coldfusion.

Minimum versions required:

  • Railo 4.2.x
  • Lucee 4.5.x (n.b, the 5.x beta branch is not yet supported).
  • ColdFusion 10 or higher (latest patch)

Typically these application servers will run on top of Java, and so can use Tomcat, or Apache (with a connector) etc.

For local testing, Commandbox, or is a great way to get started quickly.

Databases
Whilst this may run on different database systems (like many cfWheels applications) it's built for mySQL 5.x, and supplied installation and upgrade .sql files are only tested on that platform.

The schema is pretty simple though, so should be pretty easy to port across. You will need to know how to create a datasource for your local application server, so consult the relevant documentation there

URL rewriting
As of 1.2, url-rewriting is no longer a requirement, and in fact is off by default to help more easily support installations in a sub-directory.
