16 Administering ColdFusion Server
Upgrading from a previous release of ColdFuison
When upgrading from an earlier release of ColdFusion on Solaris, you may need to edit
the package installation defaults file before running the pkgadd utility. The package
installation defaults file is located in the following location:
/var/sadm/install/admin/default
This file controls the behavior of the Solaris packaging commands. The value of the
instance setting may need to be changed from
quit or unique to overwrite. Setting
the value of the instance to
overwrite allows the existing version of ColdFusion to be
overwritten by the new version.
After modifying the package installation defaults file, install your new release of
ColdFusion following the steps in “Installing ColdFusion” on page 14.
Uninstalling ColdFusion
Use the pkgrm utility to remove an installed version of ColdFusion.
Note The uninstall script removes your odbc.ini file and all Verity collections.
Therefore, you may want to preserve these items by saving them to a new
location before uninstalling ColdFusion.
To uninstall ColdFusion:
1. Log in as root.
2. Enter the following command at the prompt:
pkgrm cfusion
ColdFusion is deleted from your server.
Configuring Web servers for Solaris
If you run Netscape or Apache Web servers in conjunction with ColdFusion on Solaris,
you must perform several Web server configurations for ColdFusion to work properly.
This section addresses the following topics:
• “Configuring the Netscape Web server” on page 16
• “Configuring the Apache Web Server” on page 20
Configuring the Netscape Web server
The ColdFusion NSAPI plug-in has been tested with Netscape Enterprise Server
versions 2.01, 3.0, and 3.5.1, and the Netscape FastTrack Web Server 2.01. The
installation script prompts you to automatically configure either of these servers. If
you do not want the script to configure the Netscape plug-in, you can configure it
manually. See “To configure the Netscape plugin:” on page 17.
