INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9

Installing the J2EE Configuration

Last updated 1/20/2012

Configure search path

1 Make a backup copy of the startServer.sh file, which is located in the websphere_root/AppServer/bin directory.

The path specifications in these instructions assume that you deployed ColdFusion using the standard application

name (Adobe ColdFusion 9) and did not rename the application.

2 Open the original file, and in the PLATFORM case block, just above the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH line,

add the following entry on a single, long line:

On Solaris:

CFUSION_APPS_PATH=cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

Replace cf_webapp_root with the path to your web application root directory; for example:

CF_APPS_PATH="$WAS_HOME"/installedApps/"$WAS_CELL"/

Adobe_ColdFusion_9.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

On Linux:

CF_APPS_PATH=cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

Replace cf_webapp_root with the path to your web application root directory; for example:

CF_APPS_PATH="$WAS_HOME"/installedApps/"$WAS_CELL"/

Adobe_ColdFusion_9.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

3 Append the CF_APPS_PATH environment variable to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH entry. The resulting line should

be similar to the following:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$WAS_LIBPATH":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CF_APPS_PATH

4 Save the file and restart your WebSphere Application Server.

Enable ColdFusion charting and graphing support for UNIX

1 Open the WebSphere Administrative Console.

2 In the left navigation bar, select Node_name > Servers > Application Servers.

3 Select your J2EE application server; for example, Server1.

4 Under Java and Process Management, select Process Definition.

5 On the Process Definition page, select Java Virtual Machine in the Additional Properties box.

6 If you are running ColdFusion 9 on a system without a monitor, do the following:

a In the Additional Properties box at the bottom of the page, select Custom Properties.

b On the Custom Properties page, select New and add a system property, completing the fields as follows:

Name java.awt.headless

Value true

7 Click OK.

8 Save the master configuration file.

Disable RDS

For security reasons, Adobe recommends that you disable RDS on a production server. If you enable RDS when you

install ColdFusion 9, you can disable it at a later time, as the following instructions describe.
