Configuring the Apache Web Server
ColdFusion has been tested with Apache version 1.2.x and 1.3. To obtain Apache free of
charge, go to the Apache Web site at
You can build the ColdFusion module into your Apache Web server binary. This
method is efficient because the server does not have to start a new process for every
ColdFusion request. This section describes:
"Adding the ColdFusion module to Apache 1.2.x" on page 20
"Adding the ColdFusion module to Apache 1.3.x" on page 21
Note
Adding the ColdFusion module to Apache 1.2.x
The ColdFusion module can be found in the installation directory (usually
the
coldfusion/webserver/apache
The following procedure assumes that your Apache Web server is installed in
/usr/local/etc/httpd
To add the ColdFusion module:
1. Copy the module (
cp /opt/coldfusion/webserver/apache/mod_coldfusion.a \
2. Edit the
line:
Module coldfusion_module mod_coldfusion.a
3. If you are using the Sun C compiler, edit the
library:
EXTRA_LIBS=-lC
If you are using the gcc compiler, you should add the absolute path of the C++
library to this line. You should include the version number of the library and use
the highest one available.
For example:
EXTRA_LIBS=/usr/lib/libC.run.so.1
4. Run the Configure script to regenerate the configuration.
./Configure
5. Run
6. Install the new httpd executable in your installation directory and restart httpd.
You should now be able to access the ColdFusion Administrator with the following
URL:
http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
If necessary, consult the Apache ReadMe file for additional information
(README.Apache)
and you installed ColdFusion in
mod_coldfusion.a
