Installing ColdFusion Server in Linux
This following procedure describes a ColdFusion Server Enterprise Edition
installation. Other editions’ procedure might differ.
By default, ColdFusion Server installs into the /opt directory. To install ColdFusion
Server into a different directory, you must create that directory before running the
installation.
1 Log in as root.
2 If you are installing from a CD-ROM, copy the gziped tar file, using the
coldfusion-50-linux.tar.gz command, to a directory on your local disk. Using
gunzip, uncompress the ColdFusion Server tar file with the following command:
coldfusion-50-linux.tar.gz.
3 Untar the resulting tar file by entering the following command:
tar -xvf coldfusion-50-linux.tar
4Using the cd command, go to the resulting directory:
5 cd coldfusion-50-linux
6 Run the ColdFusion Server installation script by entering the following
command:
./cfinstall
The ColdFusion Server installation script starts.
7 Enter your ColdFusion license key and press Enter.
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 48.
At the corresponding prompt, press Enter to let the installation script
automatically configure your Web server. When prompted, enter the location of
your httpd.conf file.
9 When prompted, enter the path of your Web server’s document root directory,
and select whether to install the ColdFusion Server documentation and the
example applications.
