9. Press Enter to have the installation program automatically configure the Web
server.
The program loads the necessary plug-in for Netscape or module for Apache 1.3.x
Web servers.
10. When prompted with whether or not to install ClusterCATS, press Enter to do so.
11. 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, press Enter
to configure this server with failover services. Otherwise, enter
n and press Enter.
Typically, you want all of the servers in your cluster to be configured for failover,
particularly if they have the same processing capacity. However, if you have a
mixed server environment with some high capacity servers and several lower
capacity servers, you may not want the less powerful machines to accept the
additional load of unavailable servers in the cluster.

The default document root directory is
/docroot.
13. Do not install Advanced Security at this time; enter n when prompted and press
Enter.

which allows you to configure and modify settings for the ColdFusion Server.

Services (RDS), which allows you to connect to ColdFusion Server when
developing applications with ColdFusion Studio.
You’ll be asked to re-enter the password for verification purposes.
16. Install the ColdFusion documentation.
The documentation is installed in the /
cfdocs directory, which resides under the
Web root directory (
/docroot).
17. Enter the user name under which ColdFusion will run or press Enter to run under
the default user name (nobody).

When the installation is complete, a shell script restarts the Web server and starts
ColdFusion services.
