Can anyone tell me,

If we start Lucee using Commandbox, where is the {Lucee x.x installation directory} ?

For example we start the server with server start lucee@4.5.3 … where is the installatin directory for that version?

Thanks

Hi Jason, I touch on this in the docs here where I talk about how to copy config files over to your engine home:
https://ortus.gitbooks.io/commandbox-documentation/content/embedded_server/copy-configs.html

Please make sure are on CommandBox 3.5.0 as previous versions were not consistent in where servers lived.

To get the server home for any server that you have started, run the following command:
server info property=serverHomeDirectory

On Windows, it will be something similar to this:
*C:\Users\Brad.CommandBox\server\hash-server-name\lucee-5.1.0.34*

That is the folder that contains the WEB-INF for your server war, and the Lucee server and web context are contained within the WEB-INF as outlined in the docs.

Can you explain why you would like to know where the server lives? For the most part, that should be completely transparent to you.

Thanks!

Thanks Brad !!!

We have put on a couple of Java developers to work on a Lucee ( & Coldbox ) application.

We have set them up with commandbox (which is brilliant by the way !!) and they wanted to install this for debugging: https://docs.fusion-reactor.com/display/FD40/Getting+Started+-+Configuration+Example+-+ColdFusion+2016%2CLucee+4.5.3#GettingStarted-ConfigurationExample-ColdFusion2016,Lucee4.5.3-Lucee4.5.3

Hey Jason, if you haven’t seen it yet:

You can install Fusion Reactor straight from commandbox, super simple

Don is right-- there’s no reason to try and install this manually, just run “install commandbox-fusionreactor”! Note we even have a command to capture and store your FR license key.

And even if that module didn’t exist, you still wouldn’t need to access the Lucee installation. All you would need to do is add the JVM args, which is something you can provide to the start command or in your server.json.

Thanks!
