To install ColdFusion MX 6.1 on UNIX:
1
Read the online version of the Release Notes for any late-breaking information or updates. For
more information, see www.macromedia.com/go/proddoc_releasenotes.
2
Make sure that your operating system meets the system requirements described in “System
requirements for UNIX” on page 13 .
3
Review the “Installation considerations for UNIX” on page 18 .
4
If you plan to configure an external web server, ensure that the web server is running.
5
(Upgrade install only) Shut down the ColdFusion server.
6
Log in as root.
7
(HP-UX only) Follow the instructions in “Mounting the CD drive on HP-UX” on page 25 .
8
Copy the installation file that is appropriate for your platform and locale from the CD or
Macromedia website, and save it to a directory on your local disk.
The installation files for supported server configuration platforms are as follows:
■
coldfusion-61-lin.bin
■
coldfusion-61-sol.bin
■
coldfusion-61-hpux.bin
9
Using the
cd
command, go to the directory with the installation file.
10
Start the installation with the following command:
./< filename >
The installation program starts.
Note: To run the UNIX installer in GUI mode, type ./ <filename> -i gui
11
Follow the prompts, and let the installation program run to completion.
Caution: For security reasons, it is crucial that you do not use root for the runtime user.
12
(Update from ColdFusion MX) Copy the files in the backup directory that you specified when
running the installer back into your ColdFusion MX directory structure. Ensure that files from
the backup directory tree overwrite any files with the same name in the ColdFusion MX
directory structure.
13
Start ColdFusion MX 6.1 with the following command:
/ cf_root /bin/coldfusion start
If you specified the use of an external web server when running the installer, ColdFusion MX
automatically runs the
cf_root /bin/cfmx-connectors.sh script when starting for the first time.
This shell script runs the Web Server Configuration Tool using the settings you specified
during the installation. If there are problems running this script, review the configuration and
bin directory specifications, modify as necessary and rerun the script. You can also configure
your web server using the scripts in
cf_root /bin/connectors, as appropriate.
To stop ColdFusion MX 6.1, use the following command:
/cf_root/bin/coldfusion stop

process on UNIX,” on page 53 .
