Deploy on AWS EBS

[pedromellogomes]

I have a production app deployed on AWS elastic beanstalk.
This application wasn't deployed by me, so I don't know much about and AWS is requiring some upgrades on that instance.
I want to replicate the deployment on a test environment just like as if it was production but in a more updated instance.

The current production app is running on:

• Tomcat 8.5 (to be deprecated by AWS)
• Java 11
• coldfusion engine is lucee 5.3.6.61

The production app is being deployed via CodePipeline and all steps of clone, build and deploy works perfectly fine.

I started creating a new Tomcat instance and duplicate the pipeline.
But the tomcat is returning a 404 response and when i look at the logs, that's what I've found:

I don't know if it's a instance configuration thing (which i looked into the live instance to copy the configuration) or some missing building config.

Does anyone have an idea how to do that or have a updated article to read about how to do cfwheels app deployments in AWS?

Thanks in advance

It's been years since I tried to do anyting on EBS (now on fargate) - so any suggestions may be out of date, but addressing the immediate error you've got there - it can't find UrlRewriteFilter, which will be this - https://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

I'm not 100% sure, but I think @chapmandu has apps on Beanstalk... (or at least, did a while ago - https://chapmandu.com/2015/06/09/deploying-a-lucee-application-to-an-amazon-elastic-beanstalk-environment/ )
