Before You Begin the Installation

This section contains the following pre-installation instructions:

Required operating system settings

The following list includes the patches that must be installed, kernel settings that must be configured, and general considerations that must be taken into account before installing ColdFusion Server 5:

Ensure that you have the latest HP-UX 11.0 patch bundle installed. To download the latest patch bundle, go to http://www.hp.com.

Configure your minimum kernel parameter settings as follows:


maxdsize	0x79000000
maxssize	0x8000000
maxtsize	0x8000000
maxfiles	1024
maxusers	64 (to indirectly boost NKTHREAD, used below)
max_thread_proc	(NKTHREAD-10)

Note the Web server, its Web root, and configuration file locations. They will be needed during the installation.
Note the HP-UX username under which ColdFusion Server will run. It will be needed during the installation.
Note where you want to install ColdFusion Server on your system (/opt is the default directory).

Upgrading from a previous version

The ColdFusion Server installation automatically upgrades previous versions of ColdFusion Server for HP-UX 11.0.

However, to continue to use VisiBroker for CORBA connections in ColdFusion Server 5, copy the libraries bundled with ColdFusion Server 4.5.1 into the appropriate directory. If you uninstall a previous release of ColdFusion Server before installing ColdFusion Server 5, these libraries are removed from your system. Copy the libraries to a safe location before the uninstall

Warning

Before proceeding with the upgrade, backup your ColdFusion Server Web applications.

Verifying that a Web server is running

Before installing ColdFusion Server, ensure that your Web server is installed and running.

To check that your local Web server is running:

Enter the URL for a Web page or site from your local Web server in your browser's Address field and press Enter.

For example, if the file myindex.htm is in your Web document root directory, load the page in your browser using the localhost URL:

http://127.0.0.1/myindex.htm

If your Web server is not running, you will receive an error message.

Mounting the installation CD-ROM

To accommodate long filenames, ColdFusion Server 5 is written to the CD-ROM using the RockRidge format. This format is supported by HP-UX using the Portable File System (PFS) commands, not the standard HP-UX mount/umount commands. For more information on the PFS commands, enter man pfs_mount.

To mount the CD-ROM using the HP PFS commands:

Create a mount point for the CD. For example:
```
  mkdir    /SD_CDROM.
```
Create an entry in the PFS mount file.
1. Create or edit the file /etc/pfs_fstab, adding an entry like the following:
```
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0  /SD_CDROM      pfs-rrip    xlat=unix  0
```
  The fields in this file have the following meanings:
  <device_file> <mount_point> <fs_type> <translation_method>
2. In your entry, ensure the path that you set in the device_file field is the device name of your CD-ROM drive, and that your mount_point is the name that you selected for the mount point in step 1.

Start the PFS processes:

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

Mount the CD:
```
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM
```

The CD-ROM should be visible under /SD_CDROM. When you finish using the CD-ROM, you can unmount it using the following command:

/usr/sbin/pfs_umount /SD_CDROM

Uninstalling ColdFusion Server 5

Use the cfremove utility to remove an installed version of ColdFusion Server.

To uninstall ColdFusion Server:

Log in as root.
Run the following command:
```
/opt/coldfusion/uninstall/cfremove
```

ColdFusion Server is deleted from your server.
