Note
This procedure assumes you have already installed ColdFusion
Server and now want to install ClusterCATS. If you need to install
ColdFusion on Linux first before installing ClusterCATS, see
“Installing ColdFusion on Linux” on page 23.
5. Run the ClusterCATS installation script by entering the following command:
./cluster_install
The ClusterCATS installation script starts.
6. Enter the directory in which you want to install ClusterCATS and press Enter.
Note
The default directory (/ opt/coldfusion/btcats ) assumes you’ve
already installed ColdFusion to the default directory (
/opt
). If you’ve
installed ColdFusion to a directory other than the default, be sure to
specify that directory path instead.
7. Either accept the default path for where your Web server resides or provide a
different path and press Enter.
The default path is /usr/sbin/httpd .
8. Either accept the default path for where your Web server’s configuration file
(
httpd.conf
) resides or provide a different location and press Enter.
The default location is
/etc/httpd/conf
.
9. Press Enter to have ClusterCATS monitor all cluster members (servers) for failures.
10. If you want ClusterCATS to monitor the Web server for failures as well, press Enter.
Otherwise, enter
n
and press Enter.
11. If you want the server on which you are installing ClusterCATS to be able to
assume the IP address and HTTP traffic of a failed server in the cluster, press Enter
to configure this server with failover services. Otherwise, enter
n and press Enter.
Typically, you want all of the servers in your cluster to be configured for failover,
particularly if they have the same processing capacity. However, if you have a
mixed server environment with some high capacity servers and several lower
capacity servers, you may not want the less powerful machines to accept the
additional load of unavailable servers in the cluster.
12. Press Enter to have the ClusterCATS installation script begin installing the
necessary program files and making the configurations you specified.
Once the ClusterCATS installation script finishes, you are returned to the
command prompt. You are now ready to begin creating clusters.
