Installation

We suggest you use the Resin standalone web server option first. If you need a specific feature of another web server, you can later configure Resin to work with that web server.

Quick Start

Resin Web Server

Resin provides a fast standalone web server. In our benchmarks, it serves static pages faster than Apache! For many sites, the standalone web server is ideal because of its performance and because it is easier to configure and maintain than using a separate web server.

Installation FAQ

Where can I put .jar files so that they are available to all of my web applications?: I have some jar files that are used by all of my web applications.
What happened to bin/resin?: With Resin 2.1 used to run make; make install and then use the binary bin/resin to start Resin, but in Resin 3.0 I can't find the binary.
How can I bind to a port under 1024 and still run as a non-root user?: I want to bind resin to port 80, but my operating system only allows root to bind to ports under 1024.
Can I run multiple instances of Resin on the same machine?: One instance is for production, one for deployment testing.
Why do I get `can't connect to parent' after installing Resin?
What happened to exception-type='connection'?: In Resin 2.1 I used an exception-type='connection' with to specify the page to show when IIS or Apache could not reach the backend Resin server, but that does not work any more.
IIS 6 will not serve .exe files: Everything seems to work, except that for every file with a .exe extension I get "HTTP 404 - File not found".
