How do I add a new site to Railo?

Since making my site accessible via a A-level DNS entry (ie: awesome.site.com, as opposed to www.site.com/awesome), my Railo pages now fail with an error similar to

railo path "[/var/www/awesome/WEB-INF/railo]" is invalid

So far I've created the DNS A record and added the new awesome.site.com entry to /etc/apache2/sites-available/

What else do I need to do to get my CFML pages working again?

Solution

As described in Robert Zehnder's "Adding new sites to Railo demystified", I needed to also add the new site to Railo's server.xml file:

  <Host name="awesome.site.com" appBase="webapps">
    <Context path="" docBase="/var/www/awesome/" />
  </Host>

It was also key to make sure the Railo user had permissions to /var/www/awesome/ so that Railo could create the WEB-INF folder.
