The installation procedure assumes that you are installing from a CD-ROM. If you purchased and downloaded ColdFusion Server, first place the package file (coldfusion-50-solaris.pkg) into its own directory. To start the installation process, use the pkgadd -d coldfusion-50-solaris.pkg
shell command and then follow the install procedure below, substituting the location to which you downloaded ColdFusion Server for references to the CD-ROM.
This procedure describes a ColdFusion Server Enterprise Edition installation.
By default, the package file installs ColdFusion Server into the /opt
directory. To install ColdFusion Server into a different directory, you must create that directory before running the pkgadd
utility.
gunzip
, uncompress the ColdFusion Server tar file with the following command:gunzip coldfusion-50-solaris.tar.gz.
tar -xvf coldfusion-50-solaris.tar
cd
command, go to the resulting directory:cd coldfusion-50-solaris
pkgadd
command:pkgadd -d coldfusion-50-solaris.pkg
cfusion
and press Enter.
Note You can find your ColdFusion Server license key on the product box and the CD-ROM packaging. |
Note If you entered Other or if you have a custom release of Apache, such as usr/local/apache, see "Configuring Web servers manually". |
At the corresponding prompt, press Enter to let the installation script automatically configure your Web server.
y
to install the ColdFusion Server options. For each option that you want to install, enter y
for each option that you want to install. The following table describes the options:
Option |
Description |
---|---|
Reporting and Archive/Deploy |
Accessed through the ColdFusion Administrator, this option provides ColdFusion application reporting statistics and the ability to archive and deploy ColdFusion applications. |
Monitors, Alarms, and Load-Balancer Integration |
Accessed through the ColdFusion Administrator, this option provides ColdFusion application performance monitoring, threshold alarms, and hardware load-balancing integration for Cisco LocalDirector. If you select ClusterCATS, these features is provided through the ClusterCATS Web Administrator. |
ClusterCATS |
Provides software-based load-balancing and IP failover support for ColdFusion Server. If you want the server on which you are installing ClusterCATS to be able to assume the IP address and HTTP traffic of a failed server in the cluster, enter y to configure this server with failover services. For more information, see "Preparing Your Server for ClusterCATS". |
SNMP MIB |
Provides application information to third-party applications. You must install SNMP on Solaris before installing ColdFusion Server. For instructions, see "Installing SNMP in Solaris" and "Configuring SNMP MIB". |
Solaris customers currently using Advanced Security in ColdFusion Server 4.5 encounter a question during installation as to whether SiteMinder is installed. This is referring to the full, retail version of Netegrity SiteMinder and is intended to enable ColdFusion Single Sign-On support in ColdFusion automatically. For details on this SiteMinder feature, see your Netegrity SiteMinder documentation.
You are prompted for a target LDAP server instance to migrate the SiteMinder policy store. ColdFusion Server 5 requires that you do so. This one-time procedure requires a second properly-configured LDAP server instance. At the conclusion of the migration procedure, the install automatically configures the Advanced Security features to use this second LDAP instance as the SiteMinder policy store.
Warning Because of potential security concerns, the ColdFusion Server team recommends that you not install the example applications in production environments. |
When the installation is complete, a shell script restarts the Web server and starts ColdFusion Server services. If the ColdFusion Server services are not started automatically, you can start them manually using the ColdFusion Server start-up script, which is located in the coldfusion/bin directory.
The ColdFusion Server installation creates the following processes in Solaris
In general, you should stop and restart ColdFusion Server after making changes in the ColdFusion Administrator that affect a data source or connection parameter, such as caching or thread count.
ColdFusion Server provides two scripts for starting and stopping ColdFusion Server processes manually in Solaris:
/opt/coldfusion/bin/start
/opt/coldfusion/bin/stop
In addition, ColdFusion Application Manager provides two scripts for starting and stopping ClusterCATS and the Application Manager:
/opt/coldfusion/bin/cfam-start
/opt/coldfusion/bin/cfam-stop
Note To run scripts, you must be logged in with root privileges. |
ColdFusion Server also provides the following scripts to start and stop ColdFusion Server during system startup and shutdown
