Railo 3.1 is the first Open Source version of Railo which was released on March 31st 2009. Railo 3.1 can be downloaded in different packaged options.
- Railo Express
Railo Express is a live version which means that it does not need to be installed. Just copy it onto your computer and without further installation you can start. This is especially interesting if you e.g. would like to get to know Railo better first, or test your applications under Railo or simply use it as development background. This version though should not be used in production. - Railo Server
The Railo server version is the one you can use when you want to install Railo on your machine. It contains an application server (Tomcat) and the corresponding configuration so that it works with Railo. There are different types of Railo install packages available. - Railo WAR
This is a very easy way of enhancing an existing application server with Railo-CFML capabilities. Just download this file and drop it into the corresponding deployment directory of your installed application server. - Railo JAR's
If you individually want to install Railo on any kind of application server and web server, you can use the JAR files to do so. Railo supports the following application servers:- Resin http://www.caucho.com
- Jetty http://jetty.mortbay.org
- JBoss http://www.jboss.org
- Tomcat http://tomcat.apache.org/
- others have been tested by different users as well. If there is a servlet engine existing for your operating system, it most likely run with Railo. There only might be some library differences you need to be aware of.
