Installing ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application
Server
This section describes installation considerations and the overall installation procedure that apply
to all ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server editions.
Considerations for all platforms
The following are installation considerations for all platforms:
•
In an optimal production environment, each ColdFusion MX application is hosted on a
dedicated server; database, mail, and other servers are not on the same computer.
•
To interact with ColdFusion pages, components, and server-side ActionScript from a
Macromedia Flash movie, use the Macromedia Flash Remoting MX service in ColdFusion
MX. Although no special installations are required to develop ColdFusion applications for the
Flash Remoting MX service, you must install the Flash Remoting Components in the
Macromedia Flash MX authoring environment. The Flash MX authoring environment is
required to build applications that connect to and interact with the Flash Remoting MX
service in ColdFusion.
For more information on Flash Remoting MX, see Developing ColdFusion MX Applications,
available from the ColdFusion MX Documentation page at www-3.ibm.com/software/
webservers/coldfusionmx/library.html.
Considerations for Windows
The following are installation considerations for Windows:
•
If you previously added a cf_root\bin or cf_root\verity\_nti40\bin directory to your system path
for ColdFusion 5, you must remove it before installing ColdFusion MX for J2EE. (For
instructions, see the Microsoft Windows online Help.) Otherwise, ColdFusion MX cannot
locate the correct Verity DLL files.
•
Do not configure the server running ColdFusion MX as a primary domain controller (PDC)
or backup domain controller (BDC). Macromedia follows the Microsoft network model, in
which the first level is the PDC/BDC. These systems only manage the network or domain and
are not designed to run application servers. ColdFusion MX must reside on the second level of
Windows NT and Windows 2000 stand-alone systems. Stand-alone servers can participate in a
network or domain.
•
Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Windows 2000 Professional handle only 10 TCP/IP
connections concurrently. Therefore, Macromedia does not recommend using these operating
systems in a production environment; use Window NT 4.0 Server or Windows 2000 Server
instead.
Installation procedure
The ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server installation procedure depends on
your application server and the target operating system. The application server-specific
installation chapters detail these procedures.
