Updating From Coldfusion Mx For J2Ee - MACROMEDIA COLDFUSION MX 61 - INSTALLING AND USING COLDFUSION MX Using Manual

Deploy ColdFusion MX 6.1 and configure Java settings, as required by your application server.

For more information, see
Open the ColdFusion MX Administrator in a browser (http://hostname:portnumber/context-
11
root/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm). 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.
Answer the questions asked by the Configuration Wizard.
12
Completion of the Configuration Wizard and display of the ColdFusion MX Administrator
indicate a successful install of ColdFusion MX.
Note: If you deployed the rds.war file, and a Configuration Wizard error message indicates that
RDS is not installed or not enabled, edit the rds.properties file to match the ColdFusion context
root, restart the application server, and re-open the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
Configure and manage your system, as described in
13
on page 49.
Code and test ColdFusion MX CFM pages. Store CFM pages under the web application root
14
(either cfusion-ear/cfusion-war or cfusion-war) and access these pages using a URL of the form
http://hostname:portnumber/context-root/filename.cfm, as follows:
hostname The machine name, IP address, localhost, or 127.0.0.1.
portnumber The port number used by your application server's web server.
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 /opt/jrun4/servers/default/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://127.0.0.1:8100/cfmx/eisapp/index.cfm.

Updating from ColdFusion MX for J2EE

If you previously deployed ColdFusion MX for J2EE on your application server, you must also
perform the following steps as part of the installation procedure:
•
As appropriate for your application server, either stop the ColdFusion application and RDS
application (if it is running), or stop the application server before starting the installation
wizard.
•
(Windows only) If you installed the SequelLink ODBC Agent, stop the ColdFusion MX
ODBC services before starting the installation wizard.
•
Before deploying ColdFusion MX, undeploy the existing ColdFusion MX application using
your application-server specific undeploy functionality.
•
After deploying, but before running the Configuration Wizard, copy the files in the backup
directory that you specified when running the installation wizard back into your ColdFusion
MX web application directory structure. Ensure that files from the backup directory tree
overwrite any files with the same name in the ColdFusion MX web application directory
structure. Depending on your environment, you might have to stop your application server
first.
