Configuring Your Installation 17
Apache Web server
This procedure assumes that the Apache Web server is installed in c:\Apache.
To configure Apache for ColdFusion Server:
1 If it is not already installed, download the Apache Web server from the Apache
HTTP Server Project Web site at http://www.apache.org/. Read the Windows
documentation at http://www.apache.org/docs/windows.html.
2 If a version of the Apache Web server is running, shut down the Web server.
3 Copy the cfusion\bin\ApacheModuleColdFusion.dll module to your Apache
modules directory.
For example: c:\Apache\modules\ApacheModuleColdFusion.dll.
4 Edit the Apache configuration file (c:\Apache\conf\httpd.conf). Add this line:
LoadModule coldfusion_module modules/ApacheModuleColdFusion.dll
5 Restart the Apache Web server.
Netscape/iPlanet Enterprise Web Server
Manually configuring Netscape/iPlanet Web servers for ColdFusion Server requires
modifying two files, obj.conf and mime.types, in the Netscape/iPlanet Web server
directory, such as c:\netscape\server4\https-yourserver.com\config.
Warning
Ensure that you do not alter files in the backup or install directories.
To configure Netscape/iPlanet for ColdFusion Server:
1 Make a backup copy of the obj.conf file.
2 Insert the following line at the top of the obj.conf file:
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="DoCFRequest" shlib="C:/CFUSION/Bin/
NS4CF.DLL"
3 Look for the following line in the same obj.conf file:
Service method =(GET|HEAD) type="magnus-internal/imagemap"
fn="imagemap"
After this line, insert the following line:
Service fn="DoCFRequest" method="(GET|POST)" type="magnus-internal/
cold-fusion"
4 Make a backup copy of the mime.types file, which is located in the same
directory as the obj.conf file.
5 Insert the following line to the mime.types file:
type=magnus-internal/cold-fusion exts=dbm,cfm,dbml,cfml
6 Go into the Netscape Administrator, and save the changes.
