Installing ColdFusion
Before installing ColdFusion please note the following considerations:
• The installation procedure assumes you are installing from a CD. If you
purchased and downloaded ColdFusion from the Allaire Online Store, follow
the download instructions found there and then follow the install procedure
below, substituting the location you downloaded ColdFusion to for references
to the CD.
• ColdFusion requires Solaris 2.5.1 or higher.
• You must be logged in as root to run the
pkgadd utility.
• There are three versions of the Netscape NSAPI plug-in. The installation script
will ask you which version of Netscape you are running if you choose to
automatically configure a Netscape server.
• By default the package file installs ColdFusion into the /opt directory. If you
want to install ColdFusion into a different directory, you must create that
directory before running the pkgadd utility.
• Note the location and version number of your installed Web server. The
pkgadd
utility prompts you for this information.
To install ColdFusion on Solaris:
1. Log in as root.
2. Load the ColdFusion CD-ROM into your CD drive.
3. Mount the CD-ROM on
/cdrom/cdrom0 if necessary.
If the Solaris Volume Manager is active, you won’t need to mount the CD.
4. Type pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0 to start the installation process.
5. Enter
cfusion at the prompt and press Enter to select the ColdFusion package.
Alternatively, you can just press Enter to accept the default (
All), as ColdFusion is
the only package available.
6. Enter the ColdFusion registration ID (serial number) when prompted.
You’ll find your ColdFusion registration ID on the product box.
7. Enter the name of the directory in which you want to install ColdFusion or accept
the default directory.
/opt is the default installation directory.
