52 Chapter 3 Installing ColdFusion Server in Linux
Normally this requires two changes per database: setting a database-specific
environment variable, and adding the path to the client-side database libraries to
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. The start script provides examples
to help you.
After editing the start script, you must stop and restart ColdFusion Server for the
changes to take effect. Then, you can proceed to the ColdFusion Administrator to set
up your data sources.
Note
For more information, see “Managing Data Sources” on page 109.
In Linux, you must use certain database clients in Linux. The following table lists the
required clients for ColdFusion Server 5 in Linux:
• The Oracle ODBC database driver requires the Oracle Client version 8.1.6.1 or
higher.
• Red Hat requires the following Sybase Open Client 11.9.2-3 components or later
to use the Sybase native database driver:
− sybase-common-11.9.2-3.i386.rpm
− sybase-openclient-11.1.1-3.i386.rpm
