Page 7: Chapter 2: Preparing To Install Coldfusion
Chapter 2: Preparing to Install ColdFusion Before installing Adobe ColdFusion 8, you should review ColdFusion product editions, system requirements, and other high-level considerations. Contents About the ColdFusion installation ..............3 ColdFusion 8 product editions .
Page 8: Coldfusion 8 Product Editions
For information on installing the J2EE configuration, see “Installing the J2EE Configuration” on page 25. ColdFusion 8 product editions The ColdFusion 8 product editions are available on the Adobe website. To view the product editions, go to www.adobe.com/go/cf8_editions/. System requirements The ColdFusion 8 system requirements are available on the Adobe website.
Page 9 Do not configure the server running ColdFusion as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or Backup Domain Controller (BDC). Adobe follows the Microsoft network model, in which the first level is the PDC or BDC. These systems only manage the network or domain and are not designed to run application servers. ColdFusion should reside on the second level of Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows 2003 stand-alone systems.
Page 10 Preparing to Install ColdFusion Windows 2000 Professional or Microsoft Windows 2003 handles only ten TCP/IP connections concurrently. Therefore, Adobe does not recommend using this operating system in a production environment; use Windows 2000 Server or Microsoft Windows 2003 Server instead.
Page 11: Chapter 3: Installing The Server Configuration
Chapter 3: Installing the Server Configuration The ColdFusion server configuration contains an embedded copy of Macromedia JRun from Adobe and is most similar to earlier versions of ColdFusion. Note: The cf_root directory refers to your installation directory. By default, this directory is C:\ColdFusion8 in Windows, and /opt/coldfusion8 in UNIX.

ColdFusion has its own web server that you can use to develop ColdFusion applications, without depending on an external web server, such as Internet Information Server (IIS), Apache, or SunONE. Adobe does not recommend using the built-in web server in a production environment. However, it is more than suitable for development, allowing you to create virtual directories and set the default document (for example, default.cfm or...

Page 31: Coldfusion And J2Ee Application Servers
ADOBE COLDFUSION 8 Installing and Using ColdFusion ColdFusion and J2EE application servers One of the main advantages of ColdFusion is that you can install it as an integrated server (the server configu- ration) or deploy it as a Java application on a standards-based J2EE application server (multiserver configuration and J2EE configuration).
Page 32 CHAPTER 5 Installing the J2EE Configuration Contains the ColdFusion and RDS redirector web applications. An enter- Enterprise application archive file prise application archive (also called an EAR) uses a directory structure that contains a META-INF/appli- cation.xml deployment descriptor, which defines the web applications that it contains. J2EE application servers can deploy enterprise applications in these directory structures as-is or in compressed EAR files that contain these directory structures.
Page 33 ADOBE COLDFUSION 8 Installing and Using ColdFusion Note: Each web application running in a server instance must have a unique context root. The JRun default web application uses / for a context root, so if you want to use / for the ColdFusion context root when you deploy on JRun, you must either delete the default-war application or change the default-war context root by editing the default- ear/META-INF/application.xml file.

JRun server. For installation details, see “Installing ColdFusion using the multiserver configuration” on page 20. Adobe recommends this configuration option if JRun or another J2EE application server is not already installed on the computer and you plan to use JRun 4 instead of another J2EE application server.

Page 45 ADOBE COLDFUSION 8 Installing and Using ColdFusion The directory can have any name, but these instructions assume a directory name of cfusion under your JRun server instance. This directory becomes the context root into which ColdFusion is deployed. For example, if you are installing ColdFusion in the default JRun server, the directory is /opt/jrun4/servers/default/cfusion.

Page 61 Before you deploy ColdFusion on Oracle 10g, ensure that the following is true: Oracle Application Server 10g is installed and running. You set up an OC4J J2EE container for the ColdFusion installation. Adobe recommends that you create an OC4J instance for ColdFusion to avoid potential classpath issues with other applications.
Page 62 CHAPTER 5 Installing the J2EE Configuration Under the Environment Variables category, select Add Environment Variable. Enter PATH as the name. Enter $ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\ oc4j_instance\applications\ cf_app\cfusion\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib; as the value. Ensure that the Append option is selected. Select Apply.
