Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes Of course not! The guys over Railo Technologies GmbH are pretty serious about their stuff, but today Mark Drew CEO for Railo UK “accidentally” let some pictures of the administration interface leak over Twitter. Here’s a preview of what’s coming up on the new version. It looks quite clean and slick [...]
This is only a point release (3.1.0.015) for Railo, but it addresses
many bugs we reported in the last couple of weeks. Moreover, when I say
last couple of weeks, it really is it. It is breath taking to see how
quickly the Railo team nails down all of our requests and bug reports.
Railo is still in beta, but according to Gert, it will soon have its
final version released (Gert says it is sometime in June 2009).
Updating could not be any easier if you are on Railo 3.1x already.
Simply go to your server admin, click on updates in the left menu, and
click the button execute update. It’s all done via admin interface, and
there’s no need to move *.jar files or anything.
Here is a list (from the official changelog) of what’s included within this update:
I have seen people asking this question more than two times now, so I decided it’s about time I write a blog post about it. In ColdFusion it was really easy to solve this problem, as CFIDE is a physical folder, so you could simply move it away from the webroot, and it wouldn’t be accessible to the entire world.
On Railo it’s a bit trickier, as the admin and server folders
are virtual directories, hence you can’t simply “move it away”.
Obviously it’s password protected, so people won’t simply have access
to it and screw up with your configuration, but a more will powered
person could easily brute force into it.
I have to reinforce here that a really will powered lad would
probably break into anything, or even log into your server and make it
a real mess. It’s always good to have this false security sensation
though, so I’ll post here how I do my own security.
