Installing ColdFusion
Before installing ColdFusion on Linux, 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 CD location for the directory in which you downloaded
ColdFusion.
• You must log in as root.
• By default the installation script installs ColdFusion into the
/opt directory. If
you want to install ColdFusion into a different directory, you must create that
directory before running the installation
script. The installation script will
create a symbolic link from
/opt/coldfusion to wherever you installed
ColdFusion.
