Installing ColdFusion Server in Solaris 29
Installing ColdFusion Server in Solaris
The installation procedure assumes that you are installing from a CD-ROM. If you
purchased and downloaded ColdFusion Server, first place the package file
(coldfusion-50-solaris.pkg) into its own directory. To start the installation process,
use the
pkgadd -d coldfusion-50-solaris.pkg shell command and then follow
the install procedure below, substituting the location to which you downloaded
ColdFusion Server for references to the CD-ROM.
This procedure describes a ColdFusion Server Enterprise Edition installation.
By default, the package file installs ColdFusion Server in the /opt directory. To install
into a different directory, you must create the directory before running
pkgadd.
1 Log in as root.
2 If you are installing from a CD-ROM, copy the gziped tar file, using the
coldfusion-50-solaris.tar.gz command, to a directory on your local disk. Using
gunzip, uncompress the ColdFusion Server tar file with the following command:
coldfusion-50-solaris.tar.gz.
3 Untar the resulting tar file by entering the following command:
tar -xvf coldfusion-50-solaris.tar
4Using the cd command, go to the resulting directory:
cd coldfusion-50-solaris
5 Run the following pkgadd command:
pkgadd -d coldfusion-50-solaris.pkg
6 At the prompt, enter cfusion and press Enter.
7 Enter the ColdFusion Server registration ID (license key) when prompted.
Note
You can find your ColdFusion Server license key on the product box and the
CD-ROM packaging.
8 After entering the install directory for ColdFusion Server, the installation process
prompts you to enter the name of your Web server.
Note
If you entered Other or if you have a custom release of Apache, such as usr/local/
apache, see “Configuring Web servers manually” on page 33.
At the corresponding prompt, press Enter to let the installation script
automatically configure your Web server.
