This section addresses the following topics:

Configuring Web servers manually
If you did not configure your Web server automatically duringColdFusion Server
installation, you must manually configure the Web server. This section explains how
to do this manually in Linux, for the following Web servers:
• Netscape/iPlanet Web Server
• Apache Web server
Netscape/iPlanet Web Server
The ColdFusion Server NSAPI plug-in has been tested with Netscape/iPlanet
Enterprise Web Server 4.1 and the Netscape FastTrack Web Server 4.1. The
installation script prompts you to configure either of these servers automatically.
The Netscape/iPlanet plug-in
Netscape/iPlanet plug-ins for ColdFusion Server are installed in the <installdir>/
coldfusion/webserver/nsapi directory.
The following procedure assumes that you installed the Netscape/iPlanet server in
/usr/netscape/server4 on the system named smurf.
To configure the Netscape/iPlanet plug-in:
1 Copy the plug-in to a directory named coldfusion in your server directories.
mkdir /usr/netscape/server4/plugins/coldfusion
cp /opt/coldfusion/webserver/nsapi/coldfusion35.so \
/usr/netscape/server4/plugins/coldfusion/coldfusion.so
2Edit the /usr/netscape/server4/https-smurf/config/mime.types file to add a
new ColdFusion Server type. Add the line:
type=magnus-internal/cold-fusion exts=exts=cfm,dbm,cfml,dbml
3Edit the /usr/netscape/server4/https-surf/config/obj.conf file to add new
service and init directives. Add all of the following on one line:
Init fn="load-modules" shlib="/usr/netscape/server4/
plugins/coldfusion/coldfusion.so" funcs="DoCFRequest"
4 Add the following line in the default Object:
Service fn="DoCFRequest" method="(GET|POST)"
type="magnus-internal/cold-fusion"
5 Stop and restart the Web server.
