Installation guide

You can also avoid this problem by using BlueDragon’s built-in web server for page

processing, or you can install a new web server for integration with BlueDragon.

Of course, there is no conflict installing BlueDragon if you have installed ColdFusion

MX using its built-in web server or a servlet/JSP engine that uses its own web server.

3.3 Upgrading and Installing Multiple Versions of

BlueDragon

It is possible to install multiple versions of BlueDragon, including different editions

(Server and Server JX) at once, as well as multiple copies of different releases of the

same edition (Server 3.02 and Server 6.1, for instance). Be aware of some issues

regarding preserving settings from one installation of BlueDragon when installing

another (as well as when uninstalling BlueDragon). This is covered in more detail in

Sections 9 and 10.

3.4 Support for MySQL

All editions of BlueDragon show an available MySQL Driver in the list of choices of

drivers offered in the administration console when adding a datasource (discussed further

in Section 6.3).

Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions we can no longer provide the driver

automatically with the download of BlueDragon. Instead, you must download and install

the driver, and configure BlueDragon to recognize that driver (this situation may be

improved in a future release of BlueDragon.)

For more information, see the FAQ 216, “How can I define a MySQL datasource?”

which is available on the New Atlanta web site:

3.5 BlueDragon Servers Account Privileges

Be aware that BlueDragon Server and Server JX editions run by default as root on Linux

and OS X systems, and as the Local System Account on Windows systems. This is

something we may change in the future.

3.6 Built-in Web Server

BlueDragon Server contains a built-in web (HTTP) server that can be used for develop-

ment and testing, and is also used to access the BlueDragon administration console. The

BlueDragon built-in web server is not recommended for use on production web sites. See

Section 3.7 for more information on using web server adapters for integration with web

servers like IIS, Apache, and more. Additionally, see section 6.2.1 for additional

information on using the built-in web server.
