Installing ColdFusion Server in HP-UX

The installation procedure assumes that you are installing from a CD-ROM. If you purchased and downloaded ColdFusion Server, place the tar.gz file into its own directory, and follow the install procedure below, substituting the location to which you downloaded ColdFusion Server for references to the CD-ROM.

This procedure below describes a ColdFusion Server Enterprise Edition installation. Other editions' procedures might differ.

By default, ColdFusion Server installs into the /opt directory. If you want to install ColdFusion Server into a different directory, you must create that directory before running the installation.

Log in as root.
Mount the CD-ROM using the HP PFS extensions. For instructions, see "Mounting the installation CD-ROM".
Copy the tar.gz file to a temporary location on your hard disk. Run gunzip on the file, untar the resulting tar file, and change directory to the directory created by tar.
To start the installation process, enter cfinstall.
When prompted, enter the ColdFusion Server registration ID (license key) when prompted.

Note
You can find your ColdFusion Server license key on the product box and the CD-ROM packaging.
After entering the install directory for ColdFusion Server, the installation process prompts you to enter the name of your Web server.
At the corresponding prompt, enter y to let the installation script automatically configure your Web server. If you use Apache, you must configure it manually. For more information, see "Configuring Web servers manually". Enter the install home directory, the instance root directory, and document root directory for your Web server at the corresponding prompts.
Select whether to install the ColdFusion Server documentation and example applications.

Warning
Because of potential security concerns, the ColdFusion Server team recommends that you not install the example applications in production environments.
After selecting whether to let ColdFusion Server start automatically at system startup, enter and verify passwords for the ColdFusion Administrator and the Rapid Development System (RDS) for ColdFusion Studio.
Enter the username under which ColdFusion Server will run.
Press Enter to begin the installation.

When the installation is complete, the install program starts the ColdFusion Server services.

If you are running a version of the Netscape/iPlanet Web server, the install program also configures the Web server to run ColdFusion Server and restart the Web server automatically.

If you are running the Apache Web server, you must configure and restart the Web server manually before it will work with ColdFusion Server. Follow the instructions displayed by the ColdFusion Server installation script for configuring the Apache Web server, or see "Configuring Web servers manually".
