MACROMEDIA COLDFUSION 5 - INSTALING AND CONFIGURING SERVER Bedienungsanleitung PDF herunterladen

he world of ColdFusion application servers is quite

interesting at the moment. Macromedia’s recent

update to CFMX 6.1 promises to add a lot of stability

and speed to the product. BlueDragon, New Atlanta’s alternate

CFML runtime engine continues to gain momentum. Yet

despite these two great products, much of the develop-

ment out there is still based on ColdFusion 5 (or earlier).

What if you’re interested in running one or more of

these at once? Perhaps you’re going to upgrade an

app from one server to another? How do you test your

current applications for compatibility among the

other servers without reconfiguring your develop-

ment machine? If you’re a consultant, or work for a

consulting firm, there’s a good chance you’ll have

multiple clients, each with different server require-

ments. How do you handle the changing require-

ments without reconfiguring your server every time?

The good news is that you can install all three prod-

ucts at once to test them, but they each support slightly

different versions of CFML. How do you set things up so

that you can test a set of CFML templates against each

server, while keeping the CFML code in one place?

This article answers those questions by showing you how to

run all the application servers off of a single instance of Microsoft

IIS 5 on Windows 2000, and will make it easy to test for cross-com-

patibility in your code. Normally, if you set up a ColdFusion (or

BlueDragon) server to use IIS, it will replace any prior IIS settings

for running CFML templates. We’ll show you how to resolve that.

Even if you use Apache, iPlanet, IIS on a Windows Server

edition, or some other external Web server, the concepts here

will generally apply (though they may be even

more flexible). If you already have CF5, CFMX, or

BlueDragon installed, just follow along to learn a

couple of interesting points to enable setup of IIS

to run all three servers at once, pointing to the

same directory of CFML code. It’s a great way to do

testing against all three servers.

Installing/Configuring ColdFusion 5

The first step is to install and configure ColdFusion

5 on your machine. If you already have it installed

and configured to use IIS, you can skip to the next

paragraph. ColdFusion 5 can currently be down-

loaded from the Macromedia Web site, at

http://do

sion/esd/coldfusion-50-win-us_devrel.exe. It can also

be found on your ColdFusion Studio 5 CD or included

in Ben Forta’s CF5 Web Application Construction Kit

book and others. Install it to the default directory,

C:\Cfusion. During the install process you should let

the installer set itself up for IIS.
