Installing and deploying Macromedia ColdFusion MX 31
4 Close any applications that are currently running on the computer to which you are deploying
ColdFusion MX.
5 If you have the ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server evaluation or product
CD-ROM, insert the CD. Otherwise, download the installer file for your platform from the
IBM website or a designated network.
6 Start the installation program. Do one of the following, depending on your operating system:
7 Follow the instructions in the installation program. Use the following information to complete
certain sections of the installation program:
■ Before installing, determine the location of a working directory into which the ColdFusion
MX for J2EE EAR file should be installed.
■ The initial installer screen lets you select the language for the installer. This selection also
determines the language for the online Help and installed documentation.
■ On the License Agreement page, you must select I accept the terms of the License
Agreement before you can click Next.
■ On the Install Type page, select whether you are updating a ColdFusion MX installation to
ColdFusion MX 6.1, or installing a new version of ColdFusion MX. If you select the
Update option, the installer backs up your application files, including configuration files.
This is required because you must undeploy your ColdFusion application as part of the
update procedure. You then use the backup files to restore the application.
