Close any applications that are currently running on your computer.

If you plan to configure an external web server, ensure that the web server is running.

Insert the CD or download the setup file from the Macromedia website.

If the installation wizard does not start automatically when you insert the CD, locate setup.exe

on the CD and double-click it. If you are installing from a network or a downloaded file, locate

the ColdFusion MX 6.1 installation executable file (coldfusion-61-win.exe) and double-click it.

The installation wizard starts.

Follow the instructions in the installation wizard. Be sure to start by selecting Install New

Version of ColdFusion MX, then J2EE Configuration (ColdFusion MX with JRun 4).

Tip: The installation wizard disables the ColdFusion MX with JRun 4 option if JRun 4 is already

installed on the computer.

After the Pre-Installation Summary pane, the files are copied to your computer.

Open the ColdFusion MX Administrator in a browser, using http://localhost/context-

root/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm (external web server) or http://localhost:8300/context-

root/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm (built-in JRun web server). Because opening the

ColdFusion MX Administrator for the first time automatically invokes the Configuration

Wizard, it is best to open the Administrator at this time.

Note: If you are accessing ColdFusion MX 6.1 from a remote computer, use the previous URL with

the host name or IP address of the remote computer instead of

Answer the questions asked by the Configuration Wizard.

Completion of the Configuration Wizard and display of the ColdFusion MX Administrator

indicates a successful install of ColdFusion MX.

Configure and manage your system, as described in

on page

49.

Tip: If you do not plan on using the default JRun server, you can conserve system resources by

opening the Services control panel and setting the Macromedia JRun default server service to

Manual or Disabled.

Code and test ColdFusion MX CFM pages. If you configured an external web server, store

CFM pages under your web root directory. If you are using the built-in web server, store CFM

pages under the web application root (jrun_root/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war) and

access these pages using a URL of the form http://hostname:8300/context-root/filename.cfm, as

follows:

hostname The machine name, IP address, localhost, or 127.0.0.1.

contextroot The context root for the ColdFusion MX web application. For more

information, see

filename The directory path and file to display. The path is relative to the cfusion-war

directory.

For example, to display a CFM file located at C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-

war\eisapp\index.cfm using the built-in JRun web server and a context root of cfmx, you

specify the URL as http://127.0.0.1:8300/cfmx/eisapp/index.cfm.
